Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of preventing unwanted precipitation of a stable aqueous catalyst solution comprising an admixture of a water soluble compound of platinum and chlorine in a catalytic amount, and an antifreeze compound selected from the group consisting of alcohol and glycols and mixtures thereof, said method comprising adding a chloride selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, lithium chloride, sodium chloride and mixtures thereof to said compound of platinum or to said antifreeze compound prior to admixing said antifreeze compound and said platinum compound, and following said admixing, adding water to provide approximately 50% water by volume.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
98 words
A method of preventing unwanted precipitation of a stable aqueous catalyst solution comprising an admixture of a water soluble compound of platinum and chlorine in a catalytic amount, and an antifreeze compound selected from the group consisting of alcohol and glycols and mixtures thereof, said method comprising adding a chloride selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, lithium chloride, sodium chloride and mixtures thereof to said compound of platinum or to said antifreeze compound prior to admixing said antifreeze compound and said platinum compound, and following said admixing, adding water to provide approximately 50% water by volume.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said compound of platinum and chlorine is H 2 PtCl 6 .6H 2 O, said antifreeze compound is ethylene glycol, and wherein said chloride is lithium chloride.
