Abstract

Abstract Extraction of dissolved substances from aqueous solution by contacting the solution with a mixture of fluorocarbon solvents comprising normally gaseous monochlordi- fluoromethane and normally liquid trichlorotrifluoroethane. Contact is carried out under pressure which maintains the solvent mixture in the liquid state. The aqueous solution and the solvent mixture form two phases upon standing. Separation of the phases and release of pressure on the fluorocarbon solvent liberates the monochlorodifluoromethane from the mixture, and extracted material insoluble in trichlorotrifluoroethane either precipitates or forms a second liquid layer. The insoluble material is then separated from the trichlorotrifluoromethane.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 29 words
A composition for use in solvent extraction of desired materials from aqueous solution, the composition comprising 10 to 90 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 90 to 10 wt% 1, 1, 2-trichloro-1-2,2-trifluroethane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 29 words
A composition for use in solvent extraction of desired materials from aqueous solution, the composition comprising 10 to 90 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 90 to 10 wt% 1, 1, 2-trichloro-1-2,2-trifluroethane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 and containing 13 to 32 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 87 to 68 wt% 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
3 . A composition as claimed in claim 2 and containing 13 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 87 wt% 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 117 words
A process for extracting solute from an aqueous solution by contacting the solution with an immiscible solvent in which said solute is soluble, the process comprising contacing said aqueous solution containing a solute that is insoluble in 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-triflurorethane with a mixture of 10 to 90 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 90 to 10 wt% 1,3,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane at a pressure sufficient to maintain the mixture in the liquid state, allowing the contacted liquids to return to a quiescent state after said contact thus forming separate liquid layers, separating the liquid layers, vaporizing the monochlorodifluoroethane in the fluorocarbon solvent phase by reducing pressure thereby causing the solute to precipitate or form a second liquid layer, and separating said solute from the 1,3,2-crichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 117 words
A process for extracting solute from an aqueous solution by contacting the solution with an immiscible solvent in which said solute is soluble, the process comprising contacing said aqueous solution containing a solute that is insoluble in 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-triflurorethane with a mixture of 10 to 90 wt% monochlorodifluoromethane and 90 to 10 wt% 1,3,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane at a pressure sufficient to maintain the mixture in the liquid state, allowing the contacted liquids to return to a quiescent state after said contact thus forming separate liquid layers, separating the liquid layers, vaporizing the monochlorodifluoroethane in the fluorocarbon solvent phase by reducing pressure thereby causing the solute to precipitate or form a second liquid layer, and separating said solute from the 1,3,2-crichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process as claimed in claim 4 in which the aqueous solution contains caffeine.
