THE INVENTION
Appellants’ claimed invention is directed toward an
oxychlorination catalyst composition which includes an
oxychlorination catalyst, a specified amount of catalytically
and chemically inert solid diluent particles, and a solution
or suspension of a catalytically active copper compound.
Claim 17 is illustrative and reads as follows:
17. An oxychlorination catalyst composition comprising
immixture of (a) a catalytically effective amount of an
oxychlorination catalyst, (b) a diluent comprising particles
of a catalytically and chemically inert solid substance, which
diluent is present in an amount ranging from 1 to 20 times by
weight of the oxychlorination catalyst (a), and (c) a solution
or suspension of a catalytically active copper compound.
