Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A process for producing from a hydrated water-soluble acrylic polymer containing more than 30% water content a water-soluble acrylic polymer in powdery form which comprises mixing the hydrated water-soluble acrylic polymer with a suffic-ient amount of water-unsaturated salt capable of taking up at least 5 molecules of water of crystallization per molecule of salt and which is selected from the group consisting of anhydrous sodium carbonate, sodium carbonate monohydrate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate monohydrate, anhydrous magnesium carbonate and anhydrous aluminum sulfate in an amount sufficient to remove a sufficient quantity of the water component of the hydrated acrylic water-soluble polymer as water of crystallization of a saturated salt hydrate of the salt so as to decrease the water content of the hydrated polymer to less than 30% and to produce a crushable mixture without heat drying of the acrylic polymer, the said water-unsaturated salt being the sole agent employed for decreasing the water content of the hydrated polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A process for producing from a hydrated water-soluble acrylic polymer containing more than 30% water content a water-soluble acrylic polymer in powdery form which comprises mixing the hydrated water-soluble acrylic polymer with a suffic-ient amount of water-unsaturated salt capable of taking up at least 5 molecules of water of crystallization per molecule of salt and which is selected from the group consisting of anhydrous sodium carbonate, sodium carbonate monohydrate, anhydrous sodium sulfate, anhydrous magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate monohydrate, anhydrous magnesium carbonate and anhydrous aluminum sulfate in an amount sufficient to remove a sufficient quantity of the water component of the hydrated acrylic water-soluble polymer as water of crystallization of a saturated salt hydrate of the salt so as to decrease the water content of the hydrated polymer to less than 30% and to produce a crushable mixture without heat drying of the acrylic polymer, the said water-unsaturated salt being the sole agent employed for decreasing the water content of the hydrated polymer.
