Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 58 words
A method of oxidatively decomposing a chlorohydrocarbon having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms to carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen chloride and free chlorine which comprises contacting an exhaust gas containing from 10 - 50,000 ppm of said chlorohydrocarbon and molecular oxygen with a catalytic amount of boehmite-supported platinum catalyst at a temperature of from 200° - 500° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 58 words
A method of oxidatively decomposing a chlorohydrocarbon having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms to carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen chloride and free chlorine which comprises contacting an exhaust gas containing from 10 - 50,000 ppm of said chlorohydrocarbon and molecular oxygen with a catalytic amount of boehmite-supported platinum catalyst at a temperature of from 200° - 500° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the catalyst contains 0.03 - 5% by weight of platinum supported on a boehmite carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the space velocity of the gas is 5,000 - 300,000 hr.sup. -1 .
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the chlorohydrocarbon is a chlorohydrocarbon having 1-2 carbon atoms.
