Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
Absorption agent for water-based liquids and having low fire risk, characterized in that it is a composite material essentially consisting of cellulose fibres which have been made hydrophilic and which have adhered to them inorganic material, constituting 15-50% by weight of the agent, 0,5-10% by weight of the inorganic material being a precipitation (flocculation) chemical conventionally used in waste water purification.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
Absorption agent for water-based liquids and having low fire risk, characterized in that it is a composite material essentially consisting of cellulose fibres which have been made hydrophilic and which have adhered to them inorganic material, constituting 15-50% by weight of the agent, 0,5-10% by weight of the inorganic material being a precipitation (flocculation) chemical conventionally used in waste water purification.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Agent as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the precipitation chemical is AVR (iron-containing aluminium sulphate) ferric chloride (FeC1 ) or pure aluminium sulfate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
Agent as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the cellulose fibres comprise mechanical, chemi-mechanical or semi-chemical fibres or sulphate or sulphite fibres or mixtures thereof, preferably reject fibres from the paper and paperboard industry.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
Agent as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the cellulose fibres have been made hydrophilic in a way known per se, e.g. by a wetting agent, preferably a tenside, particularly a polyethylene glycol ether.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
Agent as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the inorganic material is a stock and/or coating filler conventionally used in paper and paperboard manufacture, e.g. kaolin (clay), talcum, chalk (calcium carbonate) or diatomaceous earth.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
Agent as claimed in any of claims 1-5, for absorbing acidic liquids, e.g. urine, characterized in that it further contains a neutralizing material, e.g. slaked lime, bicarbonate, chalk, talcum or lye or mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
Agent as claimed in any of claims 1-6, for use with such as latrines, characterized in that it further contains chemical preparations inhibiting anaerobic reactions, and in that it also contains scenting agents.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
Agent as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it further contains an antioxidant preventing the absorbed liquid from becoming rancid, the antioxidant being such as ascorbic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid, or tartaric acid.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
Agent as claimed in any of claims 1-8, characterized in that it furthermore contains a chemical preparation preventing the formation of ammonia coming from amino acids.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
Agent as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that it also contains nutrients for plants, these nutrients being such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium.
