Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
In a process for the continuous manufacture of peroxydicarbonate, RO-C(O)-OO-C(O)-OR wherein R is alkyl of 2-16 carbons, by continuously reacting chloroformate, RO-C(O)-Cl, with hydrogen peroxide and aqueous alkali metal hydroxide at a temperature in the range of -10° C. to + 50°C. in at least two reaction zones connected in series, the improvement which comprises isolating peroxydicarbonate product in at least 97% purity by continuously feeding a solvent-free reaction mixture from the last of said reaction zones directly through a centrifuge to recover the organic phase.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
In a process for the continuous manufacture of peroxydicarbonate, RO-C(O)-OO-C(O)-OR wherein R is alkyl of 2-16 carbons, by continuously reacting chloroformate, RO-C(O)-Cl, with hydrogen peroxide and aqueous alkali metal hydroxide at a temperature in the range of -10° C. to + 50°C. in at least two reaction zones connected in series, the improvement which comprises isolating peroxydicarbonate product in at least 97% purity by continuously feeding a solvent-free reaction mixture from the last of said reaction zones directly through a centrifuge to recover the organic phase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein R is alkyl of 3-8 carbons and said centrifuge is a liquid-liquid centrifuge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 2 wherein R is isopropyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 2 wherein R is secondary butyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 2 wherein R is n-propyl.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
The process of claim 1 which further comprises continuously mixing the isolated organic phase with saturated salt solution in a mixing zone and isolating peroxydicarbonate product of at least 98% purity by continuously feeding the mixed organic phase-salt solution through a second centrifuge to recover the organic phase.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 6 wherein R is alkyl of 3-8 carbons and both centrifuges are liquid-liquid centrifuges.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
9 words

Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 7 wherein R is secondary butyl.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 7 wherein R is n-propyl.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
46 words
The process of claim 6 which further comprises continuously passing the organic phase recovered from the second centrifuge through a stripping zone where the organic phase is subjected to stripping with dry oxygen-containing gas in a column and recovering peroxydicarbonate product of at least 99% purity.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 11 wherein R is alkyl of 3-8 carbons and both centrifuges are liquid-liquid centrifuges.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim

Claim 15
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 12 wherein R is secondary butyl.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 12 wherein R is n-propyl.
