Making olefins by cracking ethers andalcohols
The catalysts are amorphousalumina-silicas which have beentreated with hydrofluoric acid. Thusisobutylene is made from MTBE.

Selective methanation of CO
The purpose of this invention is toremove CO from the hydrogen used infuel cells. Selective oxidation can beused but has several disadvantages.
Selective methanation avoids these butrequires a very special catalyst. Thisone contains ruthenium supported on amixed oxide of La, Ce, and Zr.

BOOKSHELFOlefin Upgrading Catalysts byNitrogen-based Metal Complexes I:state-of-the art and perspectives
Five contributions from five countries.‘Upgrading’ really means
polymerisation. These complexes oflate transition metals, andlanthanides, with nitrogen-containingligands show some advantages overtraditional olefin polymerisationcatalysts. But it is unclear if any hasyet been commercialised.
