Abstract

Abstract Process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities which involves (a) feeding an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities to a cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities and thiocyanate may be caught in said cross-linked dextran layer, (b) passing an eluent through said cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities flow away together with the eluent, and (c) then further passing an eluent through the cross-linked dextran layer to recover the effluent containing the thiocyanate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 96 words
A PROCESS FOR REFINING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A THIOCYANATE CONTAINING IMPURITIES WHICH COMPRISES (A) FEEDING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A THIOCYANATE CONTAINING IMPURITIES TO A CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE IMPURITIES AND THIOCYANATE MAY BE CAUGHT IN SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER, (B) THEN PASSING AN ELUENT IN AN AMOUNT NECESSARY TO FLOW AWAY THE IMPURITIES THROUGH SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE IMPURITIES MAY BE FLOWED AWAY TOGETHER WITH THE ELUENT, AND (C9 THEN FURTHER PASSING AN ELUENT THROUGH SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE EFFLUENT CONTAINING THE THIOCYANATE MAY BE SEPARATED.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 96 words
A PROCESS FOR REFINING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A THIOCYANATE CONTAINING IMPURITIES WHICH COMPRISES (A) FEEDING AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A THIOCYANATE CONTAINING IMPURITIES TO A CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE IMPURITIES AND THIOCYANATE MAY BE CAUGHT IN SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER, (B) THEN PASSING AN ELUENT IN AN AMOUNT NECESSARY TO FLOW AWAY THE IMPURITIES THROUGH SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE IMPURITIES MAY BE FLOWED AWAY TOGETHER WITH THE ELUENT, AND (C9 THEN FURTHER PASSING AN ELUENT THROUGH SAID CROSS-LINKED DEXTRAN LAYER SO THAT THE EFFLUENT CONTAINING THE THIOCYANATE MAY BE SEPARATED.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 97 words
A process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities which comprises (a) feeding an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities to a cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities and thiocyanate may be caught in said cross-linked dextran layer, (b) then passing an eluent in an amount necessary to flow away the impurities through said cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities may be flowed away together with the eluent, and (c) then further passing an eluent through said cross-linked dextran layer so that the effluent eluent containing the thiocyanate may be separated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 97 words
A process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities which comprises (a) feeding an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities to a cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities and thiocyanate may be caught in said cross-linked dextran layer, (b) then passing an eluent in an amount necessary to flow away the impurities through said cross-linked dextran layer so that the impurities may be flowed away together with the eluent, and (c) then further passing an eluent through said cross-linked dextran layer so that the effluent eluent containing the thiocyanate may be separated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
The process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities as in claim 1 wherein a concentration of a thiocyanate in an aqueous solution to be refined is 0.01 % by weight to 60 % by weight.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 39 words
The process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities as in claim 2 wherein a concentration of a thiocyanate in an aqueous solution to be refined is 0.1 % by weight to 50 % by weight.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities as in claim 1 wherein the thiocyanate is sodium thiocyanate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 22 words
The process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities as in claim 1 wherein the eluent is a water.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 39 words
The process for refining an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate containing impurities as in claim 1 wherein the aqueous solution to be refined is an aqueous solution of a thiocyanate recovered in the process for producing acrylic synthetic fibers.
