Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for activation of noble metal catalysts that are supported on siliceous supports. The activation method can include limiting the amount of water vapor pressure and/or the time of exposure to the water vapor pressure during heating of the catalyst at temperatures of 50° C. or less. This can be achieved by introducing heated gas into multiple reactors of a multi-reactor system at the same time. A suitable system for introducing heated gas into multiple reactors can correspond to a system with multiple heated hydrogen lines for delivery of heated hydrogen to a plurality of reactors within a multi-reactor system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for activating a noble metal catalyst, comprising:\n heating a catalyst comprising 0.05 wt % to 5.0 wt % of noble metal on a support comprising a metal oxide in the presence of a gas stream comprising at least 0.7 kPa-a of water, the heating increasing the temperature of the catalyst from a temperature of 40\u00b0 C. or less to a temperature of 50\u00b0 C. or more, about 20 mol % or more of the metal atoms of the metal oxide comprising silicon, the catalyst comprising a dispersion of 0.60 or more prior to the heating, the heated catalyst comprising a dispersion of 0.60 or more.
