Abstract

Abstract A catalyst for ozone decomposition which comprises: (a) at least one selected from the group consisting of clay and carbon; (b) manganese dioxide; and optionally (c) titanium dioxide; and/or (d) at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Co, Fe, Ni and Ag. A further catalyst for ozone decomposition which comprises: (a) at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals; (b) manganese dioxide; and optionally (c) titanium dioxide; and/or (d) at least one selected from the group consisting of clay and carbon.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 38 words
A catalyst structure for ozone decomposition which comprises a catalyst comprising clay, manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, supported on an inactive carrier material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 38 words
A catalyst structure for ozone decomposition which comprises a catalyst comprising clay, manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, supported on an inactive carrier material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 69 words
The catalyst structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the catalyst comprises 10-50% by weight of clay, 20-90% by weight of manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, wherein the amount of said at least one oxide is 1-30% by weight based on the total amount of the manganese oxide and said at least one oxide.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 58 words
A method of producing a catalyst structure for ozone decomposition which comprises immersing an inactive carrier material in a slurry of a catalyst comprising clay, manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, and drying the carrier material to support the catalyst on the carrier material.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 58 words
A method of producing a catalyst structure for ozone decomposition which comprises immersing an inactive carrier material in a slurry of a catalyst comprising clay, manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, and drying the carrier material to support the catalyst on the carrier material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 68 words
The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the catalyst comprises 10-50% by weight of clay, 20-90% by weight of manganese dioxide and at least one oxide of a metal selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Ag, wherein the amount of said at least one oxide is 1-30% by weight based on the total amount of the manganese oxide and said at least one oxide.
