Abstract
Abstract The method produces a catalyst containing titanium oxide as a primary ingredient and is prepared from a titanium oxide-containing starting material through a titanium oxide precursor containing a suitable meta or ortho-titanic acid. Meta or ortho-titanic acid is obtained through a hydrothermal process step carried out in the presence of a suitable flocculent or colloid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
In a method for making a catalyst containing titanium oxide as a chief ingredient and derived from a titania source starting material selected from the group of titania acids consisting of meta-titanic acid, ortho-titanic acid and mixtures thereof, the improvement which comprises the steps of adding to dissolved starting material an acidic, water-soluble flocculent selected from the group consisting of soluble vanadates, silicic acid derivatives, sulfuric acid, soluble phosphates, phosphoric acid, soluble molybdates, soluble tungstates, and acidic particulate carbon suspensions and then treating the mixture by a hydrothermal process consisting of the steps of elevating the temperature of the mixture of starting material and flocculent while maintaining said mixture at the autogenously-generated pressure.
