Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A carrier-supported catalyst, wherein the active ingredient consists essentially of cerium in oxide form and wherein 0.2 to 10 weight% of cerium, based on the carrier, is deposited thereon and wherein the carrier is produced by suspending aluminum oxide selected from the group consisting of delta-alumina and boehmite, and having an alkali content of up to 0.2 weight%, in water; heating the resulting highly viscous magma so as to form a dry mass; admixing graphite to the dry mass and grinding it; compressing the ground graphite-containing mass into shapes; burning off the graphite from the shapes at temperatures within the range 550° to 750° C; and calcining the shapes for periods within the range 10 to 20 hours at temperatures within the range 1000° to 1250° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A carrier-supported catalyst, wherein the active ingredient consists essentially of cerium in oxide form and wherein 0.2 to 10 weight% of cerium, based on the carrier, is deposited thereon and wherein the carrier is produced by suspending aluminum oxide selected from the group consisting of delta-alumina and boehmite, and having an alkali content of up to 0.2 weight%, in water; heating the resulting highly viscous magma so as to form a dry mass; admixing graphite to the dry mass and grinding it; compressing the ground graphite-containing mass into shapes; burning off the graphite from the shapes at temperatures within the range 550° to 750° C; and calcining the shapes for periods within the range 10 to 20 hours at temperatures within the range 1000° to 1250° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
195 words
A process for making the carrier-supported catalyst as claimed in claim 1, which comprises suspending aluminum oxide selected from the group consisting of delta-alumina and boehmite, and having an alkali content of up to 0.2 weight%, in water; heating the resulting highly viscous magma so as to form a dry mass; admixing graphite to the dry mass and grinding it; compressing the ground graphite-containing mass into shapes; burning off the graphite from the shapes at temperatures within the range 550° to 750° C; calcining the shapes for periods within the range 10 to 20 hours at temperatures within the range 1000° to 1250° C impregnating the shapes with an aqueous solution of a cerium salt of a readily decomposable acid; drying the cerium salt so applied to the shapes for periods within the range 16 to 64 hours at temperatures within the range 130° to 150° C; decomposing the dry cerium salt by heating the shapes first at temperatures within the range 200° to 300° C and thereafter at temperatures within the range 450° to 550° C, respectively; and annealing the resulting shapes containing cerium oxide at temperatures within the range 700° to 900° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process as claimed in claim 2, wherein between 3 and 10 weight% of graphite is admixed to the dry mass prior to grinding it.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cerium salt of a readily decomposable acid is cerium nitrate.
