A solid acid catalyst has a macropore specific volume of about 0.30-0.50 ml/g, a ratio of macropore specific volume to specific length of catalyst particles of about 1.0-2.5 ml/(g.Math.mm), and a ratio of specific surface area to length of catalyst particles of about 3.40-4.50 m.sup.2/mm. The macropore refers to pores having a diameter of more than 50 nm. An alkylation catalyst is based on the solid acid catalyst and can be used in alkylation reactions. The solid acid catalyst and alkylation catalyst show an improved catalyst service life and/or trimethylpentane selectivity when used in the alkylation of isoparaffins with olefins.

Provided is a catalyst for removing NOx from a combustion exhaust gas, in particular, a low-NOx combustion exhaust gas, wherein the catalyst has a ratio of a pore volume in a range of not less than 500 ? and not more than 3000 ? in a pore diameter relative to a total pore volume of not less than 15% and not more than 40% and preferably a ratio of a pore volume in a range of not less than 1000 ? in the pore diameter relative to the total pore volume of not less than 10% and not more than 45% in a pore volume distribution in a range of not more than 10.sup.5 ? in the pore diameter, and where SILICA is unlikely to be deposited and even when the amount of SILICA deposited is increased, denitration performance is hardly lowered.

A catalyst for oxidizing a substance such as ethylene, carbon monoxide, or formaldehyde at high efficiency even at a low temperature of 100? C. or below, such as room temperature or below. Further, an oxidation catalyst of a low-temperature substance in which a noble metal and a metal halogen salt other than that of a noble metal are supported on a metal oxide carrier.

Systems and methods are provided for reducing the end point of distillate fuel boiling range fractions while reducing or minimizing conversion of the distillate fuel to naphtha or light ends. To perform end point reduction, a distillate boiling range fraction is exposed to a conversion catalyst that has a total surface area of at least 200 m.sup.2/g, an average pore size of 12 Angstroms or more, and/or a low acidity, where the conversion catalyst includes a supported Group 8-10 metal, such as a supported Group 8-10 noble metal. Such a conversion catalyst can have improved activity for reducing end point of a distillate fuel fraction while reducing or minimizing conversion relative to 177 C. Performing end point reduction using such a catalyst can allow for increased yields of distillate fuel boiling range products by allowing increased amounts of heavy feed components to be included in the input to a distillate fuel processing train.

A honeycomb structure includes a porous partition wall disposed so as to surround cells extending from a first end face to a second end face. The cells include partially clogged cells which account for 10 to 80% of the total number of the cells, and each of which includes a protrusion that protrudes inward from the surface of the partition wall. The protrusion is partially formed in a direction in which each partially clogged cell extends. In a projected view from the first end face to the second end face, a ratio of area of the protrusion in each partially clogged cell to whole area of the through channel of each partially clogged cell is 5 to 80%, the whole area including the protrusion, and the partition wall surrounding each partially clogged cell has a thickness at a thinnest part of 0.038 mm or more.
