Abstract
The disclosure provides a catalyst composition that includes a catalytic material and a magnetic ferrite compound. The magnetic ferrite compound can be pretreated, for example, by heating prior to incorporation within the catalyst composition. The magnetic ferrite compound may include iron, and one or more additional metals including zinc, cobalt, nickel, yttrium, manganese, copper, barium, strontium, scandium, and lanthanum. The disclosure also includes a system and method for heating the catalyst composition, which employs a conductor for receiving current and generating an alternating magnetic field in response thereto.

A fixed bed catalyst system, comprising:
- a catalyst bed having a catalyst composition comprising a catalytic material;
- and at least one magnetic component:
- wherein the magnetic component comprises at least one magnetic ferrite compound;
- and
- a conductor for receiving current and generating an alternating magnetic field in response thereto, wherein the conductor is positioned such that the generated alternating magnetic field is applied to at least a portion of the catalyst composition.
A method for producing a catalytic material, comprising:
- heating a ferrite compound at a temperature of about 600° C. or greater for about an hour or more to give a magnetic ferrite compound;
- and
- combining the magnetic ferrite compound with a catalytic material.
