20220134322 | Polyisocyanate Trimerization Catalyst Composition - A trimerization catalyst composition comprising a trimerization catalyst compound selected from one or more organic metal salt, preferably alkali or earth alkali metal salts, and one or more compounds selected from compounds which comprise a carboxamide group having the structure —CO—NH | 2022-05-05 |
20220134323 | CATALYST FOR HYDROGENATION REACTION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME - A catalyst for a hydrogenation reaction including: a polymer support; and a catalytic component supported on the polymer support. The polymer support comprises a repeating unit represented by Formula 1. | 2022-05-05 |
20220134324 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING MOTOR VEHICLE EXHAUST GAS CATALYSTS - The present invention is directed to a method and a device for coating substrates of motor vehicle exhaust gas catalysts. In this respect, the substrates can be flow-though substrates or filter systems (“wall flow”). The invention particularly describes an improvement in such coating processes in which a suspension (washcoat) containing the catalytically active material is applied to or delivered onto such a vertically oriented substrate (monolithic substrate) from above (“metered charge” process). | 2022-05-05 |
