Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
A process for producing an exhaust gas purifying catalyst by depositing a slurry containing at least one platinum-group element, active alumina, cerium oxide, a barium compound and a zirconium compound as catalyst ingredients on a monolithic support and calcining the support having the catalyst ingredient deposited thereon, which comprises (a) a step of preparing active alumina containing the platinum-group element, (b) a step of preparing a slurry containing the platinum-group element and active alumina from step (a), cerium oxide, the barium compound and the zirconium compound, and (c) a step of depositing the slurry on the monolithic support, followed by calcination.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
A process for producing an exhaust gas purifying catalyst by depositing a slurry containing at least one platinum-group element, active alumina, cerium oxide, a barium compound and a zirconium compound as catalyst ingredients on a monolithic support and calcining the support having the catalyst ingredient deposited thereon, which comprises (a) a step of preparing active alumina containing the platinum-group element, (b) a step of preparing a slurry containing the platinum-group element and active alumina from step (a), cerium oxide, the barium compound and the zirconium compound, and (c) a step of depositing the slurry on the monolithic support, followed by calcination.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process set forth in claim 1 wherein the monolithic support is of a honeycomb-like or three-dimensional network structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
