Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
15 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the alkali metal lignosulfonate is a sodium lignosulfonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the sodium lignosulfonate is reacted with the phenol until at least 10 weight percent of phenol, based upon the lignosulfonate solids, has reacted with the lignoSulfonate and the lignosulfonate-phenol product is reacted with formaldehyde in the presence of from 17 to 20 weight percent of sodium hydroxide until the gel time is in the range of from 26 to 28 minutes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 3 wherein the sodium lignosulfonate is a sodium salt of spent sulfite liquor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein the sodium lignosulfonate and phenol are reacted in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide for up to 24 hours at a temperature in the range of 90* to 180* C at a pH in the range of from 9 to 12 in an aqueous medium having solids concentration of from 35 to 90 weight percent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the sodium lignosulfonate in an amount of from 25 to 50 weight percent, based upon the phenol, is intermixed with the phenol at a pH in the range of from 9.5 to 11 in an aqueous medium having a solids concentration in the range of from 65 to 85 weight percent and reacted at a temperature in the range of 90* to 125* C for from one to 4 hours.
