Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
IN A POLYMERIZATION PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF SOLID POLYMER FROM A SLURRY OF POLYMER IN UNPOLYMERIZED MATERIAL, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES DISCHARGING SAID SLURRY ONTO A VORTEX OF WATER HEATED TO A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 100* F. AND 185* F., THE SAID VORTEX HAVING A NONTURBULENT INNER SURFACE CONTAINING A WATER INSOLUBLE SOAP OF AN ORGANIC ACID HAVING FROM 9 TO 30 INCLUSIVE CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULE AND A METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUPS 2 AND 3 OF THE PERIODIC TABLE HAVING A MOLECULE WEIGHT WITHIN THE RANGE BETWEEN 20 AND 125, WHEREBY THE UNPOLYMERIZED MATERIAL IS VOLATILIZED FROM THE MIXTURE AND THE SOAP IS ADSORBED ONTO THE POLYMER TO YIELD A NEARLY DRY WATER REPELLENT MASS OF POLYMER PARTICLES FLOATING UPON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER VORTEX, AND SEPARATING THE POLYMER PARTICLES FROM THE VORTEX.
