This Americas Program award will fund a cooperative research project, involving sol-gel processing and characterization of supported metal catalysts, between Dr. Richard D. Gonzalez of Tulane University and Professors Ricardo Gomez Romero and Tessy Lopez Goerne of the Autonomous Metropolitan University of Mexico at Iztapalapa. The focus of this proposed study will be on sol-gel processing of silica and alumina. A new series of high surface area catalysts in which the metal is in a highly dispersed state will be prepared. Sol-gel processing will lead to the formation of more homogenous-supported metal catalysts with a much more uniform distribution of particle sizes. The reforming catalysts prepared by sol-gel processing have the potential to compete favorably with industrial catalysts in use. This cooperative research project will share facilities available at Tulane University and Mexico. The synthetic procedures and catalyst characterization studies will be performed at Tulane while catalytic studies will be performed in Mexico.

该美洲计划奖将资助一个合作研究项目，涉及溶胶-凝胶处理和负载金属催化剂的表征，杜兰大学的理查德·d·冈萨雷斯博士和墨西哥伊斯塔帕拉帕自治城市大学的里卡多·戈麦斯·罗梅罗教授和泰西·洛佩兹·戈恩教授之间的合作。本研究的重点是二氧化硅和氧化铝的溶胶-凝胶处理。制备了一系列新的高比表面积催化剂，其中金属处于高度分散状态。溶胶-凝胶处理将导致形成更多均质负载的金属催化剂，其颗粒尺寸分布更加均匀。溶胶-凝胶法制备的重整催化剂具有与工业催化剂竞争的潜力。这个合作研究项目将共享杜兰大学和墨西哥现有的设施。合成过程和催化剂表征研究将在杜兰大学进行，而催化研究将在墨西哥进行。
