Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of improving the brightness of a cerium oxide, comprising the steps of adding a boron compound to a cerium salt or a mixture of cerium salts selected from the group consisting of cerium oxalate, cerium carbonate and cerium oxide hydrate, and then calcining the mixture in the presence of air, the boron compound being capable of producing B 2 O 3 on calcining and being added in an amount to provide, calculated as B 2 O 3 , 0.05% to 5%, by weight, of the boron compound, based on the weight of cerium oxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of improving the brightness of a cerium oxide, comprising the steps of adding a boron compound to a cerium salt or a mixture of cerium salts selected from the group consisting of cerium oxalate, cerium carbonate and cerium oxide hydrate, and then calcining the mixture in the presence of air, the boron compound being capable of producing B 2 O 3 on calcining and being added in an amount to provide, calculated as B 2 O 3 , 0.05% to 5%, by weight, of the boron compound, based on the weight of cerium oxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the boron compound is selected from ammonium pentaborate and Na 2 B 4 O 7 .10H 2 O.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
