Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
34 words
A ceramic material consisting essentially of a cellular ceramic body having ceramic fibres bonded to its internal surfaces, said ceramic fibres substantially increasing the turbulence induced in a fluid passing through said ceramic body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
A ceramic material consisting essentially of a cellular ceramic body having ceramic fibres bonded to its internal surfaces, said ceramic fibres substantially increasing the turbulence induced in a fluid passing through said ceramic body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A material according to claim 1 wherein the cellular ceramic body is a reticular foam-structured ceramic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A ceramic material according to claim 1 wherein the fibres are bonded to the internal surfaces of the ceramic body by a bonding agent selected from the class consisting of aluminum hydroxychloride, alumina hydrosol and silica hydrosol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A ceramic material according to claim 1 wherein the cellular ceramic body consists essentially of a material selected from the class consisting of cordierite, silicon nitride, alumina and lithia-alumina-silica.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A ceramic material according to claim 1 wherein the ceramic fibres are selected from the class consisting of alumina, silica, alumino-silicate, zirconia and asbestos fibres.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A supported catalyst comprising as support a ceramic material consisting essentially of a cellular ceramic body having ceramic fibres bonded to its internal surfaces, said ceramic fibres substantially increasing the turbulence induced in a fluid passing through said ceramic body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A supported catalyst comprising as support a ceramic material consisting essentially of a cellular ceramic body having ceramic fibres bonded to its internal surfaces, said ceramic fibres substantially increasing the turbulence induced in a fluid passing through said ceramic body.
