Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing small particles of a complex of 4,4''methylene dianiline and selected alkali metal salts including sodium chloride in an inert liquid which comprises agitating a mixture of tris-(4,4''-methylene dianiline), alkali metal salt, an inert liquid vehicle and water; the amount of water being at least 0.5 part per 100 parts of salt and not more than that quantity which would provide a saturated solution throughout at least 50% of the complex-forming reaction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
IN A PROCESS FOR FORMING A COMPLEX OF 4,4'' -METHYLENE DIANILINE (MDA) AND AN ALKALI METAL SALT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SODIUM CHLORIDE, SODIUM BROMIDE, SODIUM IODIDE, LITHIUM CHLORIDE, LITHIUM BROMIDE, LITIUM IODIDE, AND SODIUM CYANIDE, THE MOLE RATIO OF MDA/SALT IN SAID COMPLEX BEING 3:1, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISING ADDING TO THE MDA/ SALT MIXTURE 1) AT LEAST ABOUT 0.5 PARTS OF WATER PER 100 PARTS OF SALT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DISSOLVE ALL THE SALT UNTIL THE COMPLEXFORMING REACTIONS IS AT LEAST 50% COMPLETE, AND 2) 2-35 PARTS OF AN INERT LIQUID CARRIER PER PART OF SALT, CONDUCTING THE REACTION BETWEN THE MDA AND SALT WITH AGITATION, AND RECOVERING DIRECTLY FROM SAID REACTION A DISPERSION OF MDA/SALT COMPLEX PARTICLES OF SUCH FINENESS THAT AT LEAST 95% HAVE A MAXIMUM DIAMETER OF ABOUT 10 MICRONS.
