Abstract
Abstract An improvement in a method for producing alpha alumina monohydrate extrudates by mixing acid, water, and alpha alumina monohydrate to form an extrudable mixture; extruding the mixture to produce green alpha alumina monohydrate extrudates and drying the green extrudates, wherein the improvement comprises, contacting the green extrudates with an aqueous solution of catalytic metals in an amount sufficient to impregnate the extrudates with the catalytic metals thus improving the extrudate properties and impregnating the extrudates with catalytic metals.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
In a method for producing catalyst impregnated alumina extrudates by admixing acid, said acid being selected from the group consisting of inorganic acid, aliphatic carboxylic organic acid containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid containing from 2 to 3 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, water and alpha alumina monohydrate to form an extrudable mixture, extruding the mixture to produce green alpha alumina monohydrate extrudates and drying and calcining said green extrudates, the improvement comprising; impregnating said green extrudates prior to said drying with an aqueous solution of a catalytic metal compound selected from the group consisting catalytic metal salt, catalytic metal oxide, catalytic metal hydroxide, catalytic metal acid and mixtures thereof in an amount sufficient to impregnate substantially the entire volume of said extrudates with said catalytic metal compound thereby improving the extrudate properties.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
In a method for producing catalyst impregnated alumina extrudates by admixing acid, said acid being selected from the group consisting of inorganic acid, aliphatic carboxylic organic acid containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, halogenated aliphatic carboxylic acid containing from 2 to 3 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, water and alpha alumina monohydrate to form an extrudable mixture, extruding the mixture to produce green alpha alumina monohydrate extrudates and drying and calcining said green extrudates, the improvement comprising; impregnating said green extrudates prior to said drying with an aqueous solution of a catalytic metal compound selected from the group consisting catalytic metal salt, catalytic metal oxide, catalytic metal hydroxide, catalytic metal acid and mixtures thereof in an amount sufficient to impregnate substantially the entire volume of said extrudates with said catalytic metal compound thereby improving the extrudate properties.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The improvement of claim 1 wherein said acid is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, formic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, monochloroacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The improvement of claim 2 wherein said green extrudates are immersed in said aqueous solution for at least 5 seconds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
The improvement of claim 3 wherein said aqueous solution contains a catalytic compound of a metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, tungsten and mixtures thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The improvement of claim 2 wherein said green extrudates are sprayed with said aqueous solution.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The improvement of claim 5 wherein said aqueous solution contains a catalytic compound of a metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, tungsten and mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
The improvement of claim 1 wherein said alpha alumina monohydrate is produced by the water hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides.
