Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
about 0.7-1.1 mols of particulate flame-hydrolyzed Al2O3, said flame-hydrolyzed alumina comprising predominately gamma Al2O3, wherein the average particle diameter is in the range of about 0.01-1 micorn; b pelletizing the admixture; and c calcining the pellets at a temperature in the range of 600* to 1,500* C. for from 0.1 to 30 hours.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the particle size of said ZnO is in the range of about 40-900 microns average particle diameter and the particle size of said flame-hydrolyzed Al2O3 is in the range from about 0.025-0.75 micron average particle diameter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
89 words
about 0.50 mol of particulate flame-hydrolyzed Al2O3, wherein said particle size is about 0.03 micron average particle diameter; b. drying said admixture; c. pelletizing said dried admixture into pellets; d. calcining said pellets at about 1,000* C. for about 16 hours; e. impregnating the pellets with sufficient aqueous solution to result in the impregnated pellets containing, based on the weight of the impregnated pellets, about 0.25 weiGht per cent platinum, about 0.25 weight per cent lithium, and about 0.15 weight per cent tin; and f. drying said impregnated pellets.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
