Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of preparing electroconductive, catalytic particles comprising the steps of: (a) forming a slurry of activated carbon and a thermally decomposable silver compound; (b) impregnating the activated carbon with the thermally decomposable silver compound; (c) drying the slurry whereby to form dried carbon product; (d) thereafter mixing the dried carbon product with a dispersion of a hydrophobic compound to form a second slurry; (e) impregnating the hydrophobic compound into the carbon product; (f) forming the second slurry into particles; and (g) thereafter heating the particles formed from the second slurry whereby to dry the particles, sinter the hydrophobic compound, and form electroconductive, catalytic, sintered particles having silver HO 2 - disproportionation catalyst impregnated carbon and hydrophobic material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of preparing electroconductive, catalytic particles comprising the steps of: (a) forming a slurry of activated carbon and a thermally decomposable silver compound; (b) impregnating the activated carbon with the thermally decomposable silver compound; (c) drying the slurry whereby to form dried carbon product; (d) thereafter mixing the dried carbon product with a dispersion of a hydrophobic compound to form a second slurry; (e) impregnating the hydrophobic compound into the carbon product; (f) forming the second slurry into particles; and (g) thereafter heating the particles formed from the second slurry whereby to dry the particles, sinter the hydrophobic compound, and form electroconductive, catalytic, sintered particles having silver HO 2 - disproportionation catalyst impregnated carbon and hydrophobic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
