Ultra Small Synthetic Ferrihydrite Based Catalysts with Promoter Metals for Fisher Tropsch Synthesis of Alternative Fuels

Reference Number: U-4719 Invention Description: This technology describes the synthesis of ferrihydrite, iron based catalyst, for the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis. Ferrihydrites are found in nature and are well known precursors to various iron oxides. In this technology, 2-line ferrihydrite catalysts have been synthesized and characteriz...

Thermally Stable, High Surface Area Composite Ceria/Silica Aerogels

Reference Number: U-3997 Invention Description: This invention describes methods to create thermally stable high surface area aerogels containing cerium oxide (ceria). Aerogels are solid materials that are very porous, similar to swiss cheese or lava rock. Aerogels are very lightweight and have very high surface areas (e.g. >500 m2/g). ...
