Application No. 08/310,052
this control test example, much less the modifications of the
example required to meet the terms of the appealed claims. In
this regard, we hasten to add that control test 18 in
Maegerlein is not an anticipatory process of the appealed
claims since both the waste gas and a pH-adjusted water
(dilute aqueous sulfuric acid) is introduced at the upper end
of the vertical tubular reactor. Moreover, there is no
indication that the dilute aqueous sulfuric acid is sprayed
down over the packing as required by the specific language of
the appealed claims.
The decision of the examiner is reversed.
