Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
IN A PERMEATION PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE OF OIL SOLUBLE ORGANIC CHEMICALS WHICH MIXTURE CONTAINS AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATION OF THE MORE PERMEABLE COMPONENT SUCH THAT CONTACT OF THE LIQUID MIXTURE OF ORGANIC CHEMICALS WITH A NON-POROUS PLASTIC PERMEATION MEMBRANE WOULD CAUSE THE MEMBRANE TO RUPTURE DURING PERMEATION DUE TO SAID EXCESSIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATION, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES REDUCING THE CONCENTRATION OF SAID MORE PERMEABLE COMPONENT TO A LEVEL AT WHICH IT DOES NOT CAUSE RUPTURING OF THE MEMBRANE DURING PERMEATION BY THE STEP OF DILUTING SAID LIQUID MIXTURE OF OIL SOLUBLE ORGANIC CHEMICALS WITH A SATURATED HYDROCARBON MISCIBLE THEREWITH, SAID SATURATED
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
