Abstract
A catalytic converter for accelerating at least one reaction between at least two reactants of a gas mixture includes a catalyst carrier, and a catalytically active substance. The catalytically active substance has a varable chemical composition which is varied along a flow direction of a gas mixture, for suppressing undesired side reactions.
Claims9
A catalytic converter for accelerating at least one reaction between at least two reactants of a gas mixture, comprising a catalytically active substance carried on said catalyst carrier said catalytically active substance having a catalytic activity decreasing in a flow direction of a gas mixture as a function of a reaction-induced temperature increase caused in an exothermic reaction of reactants, and increasing as a function of a reaction-induced temperature decrease caused in an endothermic reaction of the reactants.
