Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
IN THE ELEMINATION OF NITROGEN OXIDES FROM A GAS STREAM BY BRINGING THE GAS INTO CONTACT WITH A NITROGEN OXIDE REDUCING CATALYST, THE IMPROVEMENT WHEREIN THE GAS STREAM IS CONTACTED AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 600*F. WITH A CATALYST WHICH CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF FROM 25 TO 75 PERCENT PRASEODYMIUM OXIDE OF THE FORMULA PROX WHERE X IS 1.5 TO 2.0 AND FROM 75 TO 25 PERCENT OF A CERIUM OXIDE.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said gas stream is contacted with said catalyst at a temperature of at least 1,200*F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the gas stream is an internal combustion engine exhaust.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A nitrogen oxide reduction catalyst which consists essentially of from 25 to 75 percent praseodynium oxide of the formula PrOx where x is 1.5 to 2.0 and from 75 to 25 percent of a cerium oxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A nitrogen oxide reduction catalyst which consists essentially of from 25 to 75 percent praseodynium oxide of the formula PrOx where x is 1.5 to 2.0 and from 75 to 25 percent of a cerium oxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
PoRous, sintered catalyst pellets in which the catalyst consists essentially of from 25 to 75 percent praseodymium oxide of the formula PrOx where x is 1.5 to 2.0 and from 75 to 25 percent of a cerium oxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
PoRous, sintered catalyst pellets in which the catalyst consists essentially of from 25 to 75 percent praseodymium oxide of the formula PrOx where x is 1.5 to 2.0 and from 75 to 25 percent of a cerium oxide.
