Class [001]
Ceramic catalyst carrier media, namely, ceramic particles for use as a neutral material to support and/or convey a catalyst or other volatilized mixture in a large-scale reaction system comprised of spheres, rings, pellets and powders of various sizes and shapes, for use in end-use processing of chemicals, petrochemicals, and refining applications; ceramic internal components comprised of ceramic particles for use in creating a continuous countercurrent contacting of gas and liquid in absorption and also for vapor liquid contacting in distillation, ceramic particles of uniform size and shape for use in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, absorption of a solute, absorption, filter bed, and similar processes such as catalytic cracking, support plates, grid bars, liquid distributors, and ceramic particles having the property of absorbing heat from its environment and transferring it effectively away from its source, frequently for transmission of thermal energy from one location to another by means of a temperature gradient existing between the two locations, for use in end-use processing of chemicals, petrochemicals, refining and environmental applications.
