Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
IN THE PROCESS FOR POLYMERIZING AN ALKYLENE OXIDE TO A POLYMER HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT IN THE RANGE BETWEEN ABOUT 1,000 AND ABOUT 100,000 BY HEATING SAID ALKYLENE OXIDE IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE BETWEEN ABOUT 50*C. AND ABOUT 250*C., WHEREIN THE SAID ALKYLENE OXIDE IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENE OXIDE, PROPYLENE OXIDE, BUTYLENE OXIDE, 4,4,4-TRICHLOROBUTYLENE OXIDE-1,2, STYRENE OXIDE, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES EMPLOYING AS A CATALYST A CATALYTIC PROPORTION OF A MIXTURE OF ALUMINUM HYDREDE AND A METAL HALIDE, SAID METAL HALIDE BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ANHYDROUS FERRIC CHLORIDE, FERRIC CHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATE, NICKEL BROMIDE, STANNIC CHLORIDE, BERYLLIUM CHLORIDE, ZIRCONIUM CHLORIDE, AICONIUM BROMIDE, ZIC CHLORIDE, COBALT CHLORIDE, ARSENOUS CHLORIDE, TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE, AND MIXTURES THEREOF, THE WEIGHT RATIO OF ALUMINUM HYDRIDE TO SAID METAL HALIDE BEING BETWEEN ABOUT 3:1 AND ABOUT 1:9.
