Claims
- 1. A catalyst support comprising a metal substrate, a layer consisting essentially on said substrate of chromium electrolytically deposited and a layer of alumina deposited over said layer of chromium.
- 2. A catalyst support according to claim 1, wherein the metal substrate comprises a stainless and heat resistant steel.
- 3. A catalyst support according to claim 2, wherein said steel comprises a nickel-chromium based steel.
- 4. A catalyst support according to claim 3, wherein said steel has a content by weight of about 25% chromium and 13% nickel.
- 5. A catalyst support according to claim 1, wherein the chromium layer has an approximate thickness of about 1 micron.
- 6. A catalyst support according to claim 1, wherein the alumina layer has an approximate thickness of between about 10 to 30 microns.
- 7. A catalyst support according to claim 1, wherein the alumina is a fibrillar boehmite.
- 8. A catalyst support according to claim 1, wherein the substrate is in the monolithic form.
- 9. A catalyst support according to claim 8, wherein said support is in the form of a corrugated monolith wound in a helical manner.
- 10. A monolithic shaped article for the purification or control of vehicular exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines comprising the catalyst support according to claim 1.
- 11. A process for the preparation of a catalyst support comprising providing a metal substrate, electrolytically depositing a first layer consisting essentially of chromium on said substrate and depositing a second layer of alumina on said first layer of chromium.
- 12. A process according to claim 11, wherein the deposition of the alumina layer is effected by the atomization of the alumina onto a chromized and heated metal substrate.
- 13. A process according to claim 11, wherein the deposition of the alumina layer is effected by the immersion of said substrate in an aqueous dispersion of alumina.
- 14. A process according to claim 11, wherein prior to the deposition of the layer of alumina, monoaluminum phosphate Al(H.sub.2 PO.sub.4).sub.3 is deposited on the chromized substrate, by immersion of the substrate therein.
- 15. A process according to claim 14, comprising the further step of calcining the substrate.
- 16. A process according to claim 15, wherein said calcination is carried out at about 600.degree. C.
- 17. A process according to claim 13, wherein said aqueous dispersion of alumina is comprised of between about 5% to 15% by weight of alumina.
- 18. A process according to claim 17, wherein said aqueous dispersion further comprises between about 0.5% to 3% by weight of a surface active agent.
- 19. A process according to claim 11, wherein the deposited layer of alumina includes a co-deposited active catalyst for treatment of exhaust gases.
- 20. A catalyst support prepared by the process according to claim 11.
