Title: Transition metal nano-catalyst, its preparation method and its use in fischer-tropsch synthetic reaction
Inventor: XIAO CHAOXIAN
IPC: C07C1/04
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: The present invention discloses a transition metal nano-catalyst, a method for preparing the same, and a process for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using the catalyst.  The transition metal nano-catalyst comprises transition metal nanoparticles and polymer stabilizers, and the transition metal nanoparticles are dispersed in liquid media to form stable colloids. The transition metal nano-catalyst can be prepared by mixing and dispersing transition metal salts and polymer stabilizers in liquid media, and then reducing the transition metal salts with hydrogen at 100-200°C.  The nano-catalyst can be used for F-T synthesis reaction. The process for F-T  synthesis using the nano-catalyst comprises contacting a reactant gas mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen with the catalyst and reacting. The catalyst can rotate freely in three-dimensional space under reaction conditions, and have excellent catalytic acitivity at a low temperature of 100-200°C.  Those reaction conditions are much milder than those for current industrial catalysts for F-T synthesis (200-350°C). In addition, the transition metal nanoparticles have smaller diameter and narrower diameter distribution, which is beneficial to control product distribution. Meanwhile, the catalyst can be easily separated from hydrocarbon products and reused. All of the above merits imply the broad application prospects of the transition metal nano-catalyst.

Abstract: A method and device for coding an input sound signal in at least one lower layer and at least one upper layer of an embedded codec while reducing a quantization noise comprises, in the at least one lower layer, coding the input sound signal to produce coding parameters, wherein coding the input sound signal comprises producing a synthesized sound signal. An error signal is computed as a difference between the input sound signal and the synthesized sound signal and a spectral mask is calculated as a function of a spectrum related to the input sound signal. In the at least one upper layer, the error signal is coded to produce coding coefficients, the spectral mask is applied to the coding coefficients, and the masked coding coefficients are quantized. Applying the spectral mask to the coding coefficients reduces the quantization noise produced upon quantizing the coding coefficients. Therefore, a method and device for reducing the quantization noise produced during coding of the error signal in the at least one upper layer comprises providing the spectral mask and, in the at least one upper layer, applying the spectral mask to the coding coefficients prior to quantizing the coding coefficients.
