Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
AN AQUASOL OF AMORPHOUS SILICA PARTICLES HAVING A SURFACE AREA, A, OF FROM 60 TO 300 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM, THE SOL BEING STABILIZED BY CONTAINING AN AMOUNT OF ALKALI SUFFICIENT TO GIVE THE SOL AN SIO2:M2O MOL RATIO, R, OF FROM 10,000/A:1 TO 120,000/A:1 WHERE M IS A MONOVALENT CATION IN WHICH THERE IS NO HYDROCARBON CHAIN SUBSTITUENT LONGER THAN 4 CARBON ATOMS, THE CONCENTRATION OF SILICA IN THE SOL BEING FROM ABOVE
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

AN AQUASOL OF AMORPHOUS SILICA PARTICLES HAVING A SURFACE AREA, A, OF FROM 60 TO 300 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM, THE SOL BEING STABILIZED BY CONTAINING AN AMOUNT OF ALKALI SUFFICIENT TO GIVE THE SOL AN SIO2:M2O MOL RATIO, R, OF FROM 10,000/A:1 TO 120,000/A:1 WHERE M IS A MONOVALENT CATION IN WHICH THERE IS NO HYDROCARBON CHAIN SUBSTITUENT LONGER THAN 4 CARBON ATOMS, THE CONCENTRATION OF SILICA IN THE SOL BEING FROM ABOVE
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
142 words
IN A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CONCENTRATED SILICA AQUASOLS OF LOW VISCOSITY THE STEPS COMPRISING PREPARING AN AQUASOL OF AMORPHOUS SILICA PARTICLES HAVING A SURFACE AREA, A, OF FROM 60 TO 300 SQUARE METERS PER GRAM, SAID SOL HAVING A RELATIVE VISCOSITY, AS MEASURED AT 10% SIO2 AND PH 2, OF FROM 1.13 TO 1.45 CONTAINING LESS THAN 35% SIO2 BY WEIGHT, DEIONIZING SAID SOL BY BRINGING IT INTO CONTACT WITH A CATION EXCHANGE RESIN IN THE HYDROGEN FROM AND AN ANION EXCHANGE RESIN IN THE HYDROXYL FORM, ADJUSTING THE SIO2:M2O MOL RATIO, R, TO FROM 10,000/A:1 TO 120,000/A:1, WHERE M IS A MONOVALENT CATION IN WHICH THERE IS NO HYDROCARBON CHAIN SUBSTITUENT LONGER THAN 4 CARBON ATOMS, BY ADING AN ALKALI OF CATION OF THE ADDING ALSO AN AMOUNT OF SOLUBLE SALT OF A CATION OF THE M GROUP EQUAL TO FORM
