Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
THE PROCESS OF PREPARING A SULFO-ALKYLATED LIGNITE WHICH COMPRISES REACTING LIGNITE IN AN ALKALINE REACTION MEDIUM WITH FROM 6 TO 50 PARTS OF A SULFUR COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SULFUROUS ACID AND ITS WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS, AND A METHYLENIC COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALDEHYDES AND METHYL KETONES IN AN AMOUNT STOICHIOMETRICALLY EQUIVALENT TO AN AMOUNT OF FORMALDEHYDE IN THE RANGE OF 3 TO 25 PARTS OF FORMALDEHYDE PER 100 PARTS OF SAID LIGNITE, THE REACTION BEING CONDUCTED AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE UNDER 375*F.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
146 words
A WATER SOLUBLE LIGNITE DERIVATIVE MADE BY HEATING 100 PARTS OF LIGNITE IN AN ALKALINE LIQUID REACTION MEDIUM WITH 6 TO 50 PARTS OF A SULFUR COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SULFUROUS ACID AND ITS WATER SOLUBLE SALTS, AND A METHYLENIC COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALDEHYDES AND METHYL KETONES, SAID METHYLNIC COMPOUND BEING PRESENT IN AMOUNT STOICHIOMETRICALLY EQUIVALENT TO AN AMOUNT OF FORMALDEHYDE WITHIN THE RANGE FROM 3 TO 25 PARTS OF FORMALDEHYDE PER 100 PARTS OF LIGNITE, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE FROM 175* TO 375*F. FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF THE METHYLENIC AND THE SULFUR COMPOUNDS TO REACT AND FORM SIDE CHAINS ON THE LIGNITE HAVING THE FORMULA -R-SO3M, WHEREIN -R- IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF METHYENE AND SUBSTITUTED METHYLENE RADICALS AND M IS AN ALKALI METAL; AND DRYING THE RESULTING PRODUCT.
