Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A catalyst comprising a catalytic metal or compound thereof on a porous silica-alumina carrier having a silica content in the range of between 0 and about 30% by weight and further characterized in that: a. the volume of the pores in said catalyst having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 300 A is greater than about 0.30 milliliters per gram; b. the volume of the pores in said catalyst having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 30 A is less than about 25% of the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of about 0 to about 300 A; c. a volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 75 to about 300 A is less than about 40% of the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 300 A; and d. the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 75 to about 75,000 A is smaller than about 0.25 milliliters per gram.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A catalyst comprising a catalytic metal or compound thereof on a porous silica-alumina carrier having a silica content in the range of between 0 and about 30% by weight and further characterized in that: a. the volume of the pores in said catalyst having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 300 A is greater than about 0.30 milliliters per gram; b. the volume of the pores in said catalyst having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 30 A is less than about 25% of the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of about 0 to about 300 A; c. a volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 75 to about 300 A is less than about 40% of the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 0 to about 300 A; and d. the volume of the pores having a radius in the range of from about 75 to about 75,000 A is smaller than about 0.25 milliliters per gram.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
