Abstract
A process for handling an active catalyst includes introducing a mixture of active catalyst particles and a molten organic substance, which is at a temperature T1, and which sets at a lower temperature T2 so that T2<T1, into a mould. The mould is submerged in a cooling liquid, so as to cool the organic substance down to a temperature T3, where T3≦T2. In this fashion, a casting comprising an organic substance matrix in which the active catalyst particles are dispersed, is obtained.
Claims3
An installation for producing and handling an active catalyst, which installation includes
- catalyst production or regeneration equipment, including a catalyst coating tank;
- conveying means for conveying a mixture of active catalyst particles and a molten organic substance from the catalyst coating tank;
- a casting machine for casting castings in the form of candles, which casting machine includes a plurality of moulds into which the conveying means can discharge the mixture of active catalyst particles and molten organic substance, and a cooling bath adapted to contain a cooling liquid in which the at moulds can be submerged at least partly.
