The invention is directed to a CO to CO.sub.2 combustion promoter comprising microsphere sized porous silica and/or alumina comprising particles further comprising on or more Group VIII noble metals wherein the noble metal is distributed in the particle as an eggshell such that a higher content of noble metal is present in the outer region of the particle as compared to the content of noble metal in the center of the particle.

The present invention relates to a catalytic article for purifying an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides, which comprises a first region containing a vanadium-based SCR catalyst, a second region containing a metal-promoted molecular sieve catalyst, and a third region containing a vanadium-based SCR catalyst, wherein at least part of the second region is located downstream of at least part of the first region and upstream of at least part of the third region in the exhaust gas flow direction, provided that no part of the second region is located upstream of the first region or downstream of the third region. The present invention also relates to a method and a system for treatment of an exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides by selective catalytic reduction using the catalytic article.

The present application pertains to family of new crystalline molecular sieves designated SSZ-93. Molecular sieve SSZ-93 is structurally similar to sieves falling within the MTT structure type such as SSZ-32x, SSZ-32, ZSM-23, EU-13, ISI-4, and KZ-1 family of molecular sieves. SSZ-93 is characterized as having magnesium.

A reverse water-gas shift catalyst that can be used at high temperatures is obtained. A reverse water-gas shift catalyst (cat1) is produced by executing an impregnation-supporting step of impregnating a carrier (cb1) containing alumina as a main component with nickel as a catalytically active component (ca1) to be supported on the carrier, and calcinating a precursor obtained in the impregnation-supporting step at a temperature of 500? C. or higher.

A catalyst having at least one Group VIB metal component, at least one Group VIII metal component, a phosphorus component, and a boron-containing carrier component. The amount of the phosphorus component is at least 1 wt %, expressed as an oxide (P.sub.2O.sub.5) and based on the total weight of the catalyst, and the amount of boron content is in the range of about 1 to about 13 wt %, expressed as an oxide (B.sub.2O.sub.3) and based on the total weight of the catalyst. In one embodiment of the invention, the boron-containing carrier component is a product of a co-extrusion of at least a carrier and a boron source. A method for producing the catalyst and its use for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon feed are also described.

Catalyst composition which comprises a first zeolite having a BEA* framework type and a second zeolite having a MOR framework type and a mesopore surface area of greater than 30 m.sup.2/g is disclosed. These catalyst compositions are used to remove catalyst poisons from untreated feed streams having one or more impurities which cause deactivation of the downstream catalysts employed in hydrocarbon conversion processes, such as those that produce mono-alkylated aromatic compounds.
