Abstract
Abstract A method for separating vinyl chloride from a mixture of vinyl chloride with other non-plastic substances such as sand and soil, metals, glass or rubbers which comprises introducing gas bubbles into a dispersion of the vinyl chloride mixture in an aqueous liquid medium such as water or salt water and containing a flotation agent such as pine oil thereby to float the vinyl chloride and collect it.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A method for separating vinyl chloride from a mixture of vinyl chloride with other non-plastic substances selected from the group consisting of soil, sand, metals, glass, rubber and a mixture thereof, which comprises introducing gas bubbles into a dispersion of the vinyl chloride mixture in an aqueous liquid medium, and adding to said dispersion a flotation agent selected from the group consisting of pine oil, kerosene, cresylic acid, eucalyptus oil, camphor oil, a higher alcohol, methyl isobutyl carbinol, pyridine, o-toluidine and a mixture thereof thereby to float the vinyl chloride due to the adherence of the gas bubbles thereto.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
99 words
A method for separating vinyl chloride from a mixture of vinyl chloride with other non-plastic substances selected from the group consisting of soil, sand, metals, glass, rubber and a mixture thereof, which comprises introducing gas bubbles into a dispersion of the vinyl chloride mixture in an aqueous liquid medium, and adding to said dispersion a flotation agent selected from the group consisting of pine oil, kerosene, cresylic acid, eucalyptus oil, camphor oil, a higher alcohol, methyl isobutyl carbinol, pyridine, o-toluidine and a mixture thereof thereby to float the vinyl chloride due to the adherence of the gas bubbles thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
