An exhaust purifying apparatus is provided, that can be manufactured at low manufacturing costs and is capable exhibiting high exhaust purifying performance. The exhaust purifying apparatus includes an exhaust passage, and an exhaust purifying member disposed in the exhaust passage. The exhaust purifying member is made of stainless steel. The surface of the stainless steel material is not covered with a catalyst coat containing a catalyst component, so that the surface of the stainless steel material is brought into contact with exhaust. The exhaust purifying member is made of precipitation hardening stainless steel and/or austenitic stainless steel.

A catalyst structure includes a plurality of metal oxides formed on a support, where the support includes zirconia and/or silica. The metal oxides include at least three metals selected from the group consisting of chromium, iron, nickel, and a platinum group metal. The catalyst structure can be used in an oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reaction process for converting an alkane to an olefin. In some embodiments, carbon dioxide utilized in the ODH reaction process is obtained from a flue gas derived from a fossil fuel burning power plant.

Isophoronediamine, is prepared by A) subjecting isophoronenitrile directly in one stage to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine in the presence of ammonia, hydrogen, a hydrogenation catalyst and an optional additive, and in the presence or absence of an organic solvent; or B) first converting isophoronenitrile fully or partly in at least two or more than two stages to isophoronenitrile imine, and subjecting the isophoronenitrile imine to aminating hydrogenation to give isophoronediamine as a pure substance or in a mixture with another component and/or isophoronenitrile, in the presence of at least ammonia, hydrogen and a catalyst.

Use of diverse biomass feedstock in a process for the recovery of target C5 and C6 alditols and target glycols via staged hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis processes is disclosed. Particular alditols of interest include, but are not limited to, xylitol and sorbitol. Various embodiments of the present invention synergistically improve overall recovery of target alditols and/or glycols from a mixed C5/C6 sugar stream without needlessly driving total recovery of the individual target alditols and/or glycols. The result is a highly efficient, low complexity process having enhanced production flexibility, reduced waste and greater overall yield than conventional processes directed to alditol or glycol production.
