Basic aluminum salts of acetylsalicylate acid and a non-toxic water soluble acid

Claim 1

AN ALUMINUM ASPIRIN COMPOSITION REPRESENTED BY THE AVERAGE FORMULA AL(R1)X(R2)Y(R3)Z, WHEREIN R1 REPRESENTS AN EQUIVALENT OF NON-TOXIC, WATER-SOLUBLE ACID ANION, DERIVED FROM AN ACID CHARACTERIZED BY A DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF AT LEAST ABOUT 10-5, R2 REPRESENTS THE ANION OF ACETYLSALCYLIC ACID, AND R3 REPRESENTS HYDROXYL GROUPS, THE SUBSCRIPT X IS AT LEAST ABOUT 0.1, THE SUBSCRIPT Y IS AT LEAST ABOUT 0.5 AND THE SUBSCRIPT Z EQUALS 3-(X+Y) AND IS AT LEAST ABOUT 0.1.

Claim 3

THE METHOD OF PRODUCING AN ALUMINUM ASPIRIN COMPOSITION SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF UNREACTED ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING IN A SUBSTANTIALLY WATERFREE INERT ORGANIC SOLVENT AN ALUMINUM ALCOHOLATE WITH A BLE NON-TOXIC ACIDS CHARACTERIZED BY DISSOLCATION CONSTANTS BLE NON-TOXIC ACIDS CHARACTERIZED BY DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS OF AT LEAST ABOUT 10-5 AND THE ALUMINUM SALTS THEREOF; ADDING ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID TO THE MIXTURE AND THEREAFTER ADDING WATER TO THE MIXTURE AND HEATING AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW ABOUT 60*C. TO HYDROLYZE ANY UNREACTED ALCOHOLATE GROUPS.

Claim 4

THE METHOD OF PRODUCING AN ALUMINUM ASPIRIN COMPOSITION SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF UNREACTED ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING IN A SUBSTANTIALLY WATERFREE INERT ORGANIC SOLVENT AN ALUMINUM ALCOHOLATE WITH A BLE NON-TOXIC ACIDS CHARACTERIZED BY DISSOLCATION CONSTANTS BLE NON-TOXIC ACIDS CHARACTERIZED BY DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS OF AT LEAST ABOUT 10-5 AND THE ALUMINUM SALTS THEREOF; ADDING ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID TO THE MIXTURE AND THEREAFTER ADDING WATER TO THE MIXTURE AND HEATING AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW ABOUT 60*C. TO HYDROLYZE ANY UNREACTED ALCOHOLATE GROUPS.
