[Problem] Provided is an exhaust gas purification catalyst capable of exhibiting even higher exhaust gas purification performance without impairing Pd catalytic activity, and an exhaust gas purification system using the exhaust gas purification catalyst.

[Solution] Provided is an exhaust gas purification catalyst comprising a substrate and a catalyst layer provided on the substrate, said catalyst having a first section located upstream along a flow direction of the exhaust gas and a second section located downstream from the first section; the catalyst layer in the first section comprises a first catalyst layer comprising palladium and a second catalyst layer comprising rhodium and covering the first catalyst layer, wherein a pore volume proportion is 12% or more and less than 18% wherein the pore volume proportion is a proportion of a total volume of the pores, which have a pore diameter of 0.06 μm to 30.0 μm as measured by mercury press-in method and existing in the substrate and the catalyst layer in the first section to a volume of a entire first section; and a wash coat amount is 100 g/L to 190 g/L, wherein a wash coat amount is a mass per unit volume of the catalyst layer in the first section to the volume of the substrate existing in the first section.

This present disclosure relates to a catalytic process for upgrading crude and/or refined fusel oil mixtures to higher value renewable 2-methyl-2-butene, via novel doped alumina catalysts. It was found that passing a vaporized stream of crude and/or refined fusel oils over doped alumina catalysts provides renewable 2-methyl-2-butene in high yields in a single step. Subsequent downstream purification of the reactor effluent results in a renewable 2-methyl-2-butene at competitive price and quality to fossil fuel derived 2-methyl-2-butene.

The present invention relates to a catalyst for isomerization of alkylated aromatics such as mixed xylenes, using xylene isomerization catalyst particles including post-framework modified *BEA zeolite in which zirconium atoms and/or hafnium atoms, optionally in combination with titanium atoms, form a part of a framework of a beta-type zeolite.

A catalyst used for dehydrogenation of an organic hydrogen-storage material to generate hydrogen, a support for the catalyst, and a preparation process thereof are presented. A hydrogen-storage alloy and a preparation process thereof are also provided. A process for providing high-purity hydrogen, a high-efficiently distributed process for producing high-purity and high-pressure hydrogen, a system for providing high-purity and high-pressure hydrogen, a mobile hydrogen supply system, and a distributed hydrogen supply apparatus are also described.

This disclosure relates to a single stage process for the direct conversion of alcohols, e.g. ethanol, to olefinic mixtures (C.sub.2-C.sub.7) with low levels of aromatics carried out in a single reactor with two fixed catalyst beds in series, or two catalytic fixed bed reactors in series wherein the first reactor operates at a lower or higher temperature than the operating temperature of the second reactor. The process transformation of ethanol is comprised of ethanol dehydration to ethylene and water in high yield with the first catalyst in the first reactor, or via the first fixed catalyst bed, followed by directly feeding the ethylene and water to the second reactor, or second fixed catalyst bed, with conversion of said ethylene and water to a C.sub.2-C.sub.7 olefinic mixture with the second catalyst(s) in high yields with minimal aromatic compound formation.
