Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a catalyst comprising a noble metal and a lanthanide element deposited on a support comprising a substantially non-porous substrate having a surface area, as measured by S.A. N2-BET or S.A. Kr-BET , from about 0.01 to about 10 m 2 /g, wherein said method comprises: (a) contacting fibers of the substantially non-porous substrate with an acid to provide an acid-leached substrate; (b) ion exchanging the acid-leached substrate with one or more ion exchange solutions comprising ions of the noble metal and ions of the lanthanide element to provide an ion-exchanged substrate having the noble metal and lanthanide element deposited thereon; and (c) treating said ion-exchanged substrate with a treatment selected from the group consisting of pH adjusting, calcining, oxidizing, reducing, sulfiding, carbiding, nitriding, phosphiding and boriding.
