Independent Claim
35 words
The method of claim 1 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide and at least one of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, monoethanol amine, pyridine, 4-vinyl-cyclohexene-1, 1-hexene, methylcellosolve, 2-methoxyethanol and propionitrile.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
The method of claim 2 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide and ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, said formamide and said ethylene glycol monomethyl ether being contained in amounts of about 40 to about 60 parts of formamide to about 60 to about 40 parts of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
The method of claim 2 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide and monoethanol amine, said formamide and said monoethanol amine being contained in amounts of about 70 to about 80 volume percent of formamide to about 30 to about 20 volume percent of monoethanol amine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 2 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide and methylcellosolve, said formamide and methylcellosolve being contained in substantialLy equal quantities.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method of claim 2 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide, methylcellosolve and pyridine, said formamide, methylcellosolve and pyridine being contained in amounts of about 40 volume percent formamide, 40 volume percent methylcellosolve and 20 volume percent pyridine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 2 in which said absorbent contains as its essential ingredients cuprous chloride, formamide and 2-methoxyethanol, said formamide and said 2-methoxyethanol being contained in substantially equal quantities.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
