Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A method for preventing microbial contamination of organic fluids selected from the group consisting of functional fluids and liquid hydrocarbon fuels which support microbial growth when mixed with water comprising incorporating in said fluid an effective inhibitory amount of a biocide having the formula ##SPC3## wherein R and R' are lower alkyl appended to a ring carbon atom, x and y are each integers in the range of 0-2, the sum of x and y being an integer in the range of 0-4 and wherein R" is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, phenyl, halo, nitro and oxy, z being an integer in the range of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x, y, and z is an integer in the range of 0-4.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 126 words
A method for preventing microbial contamination of organic fluids selected from the group consisting of functional fluids and liquid hydrocarbon fuels which support microbial growth when mixed with water comprising incorporating in said fluid an effective inhibitory amount of a biocide having the formula ##SPC3## wherein R and R' are lower alkyl appended to a ring carbon atom, x and y are each integers in the range of 0-2, the sum of x and y being an integer in the range of 0-4 and wherein R" is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, phenyl, halo, nitro and oxy, z being an integer in the range of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x, y, and z is an integer in the range of 0-4.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said organic fluid is a metal working fluid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said organic fluid is a cutting fluid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein z is an integer having a value of 1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said biocide is 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said organic fluid is a cutting fluid and said biocide is 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 91 words
A metal working fluid having incorporated therein an effective inhibitory amount of a biocide having the formula ##SPC4## wherein R and R' are methyl, x and y are each integers in the range of 0-2, the sum of x and y being an integer in the range of 0-4 and wherein R" is selected from the group consisting of methyl, phenyl, halo, nitro and oxy, z being an integer in the range of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x, y, and z is an integer in the range of 0-4.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 91 words
A metal working fluid having incorporated therein an effective inhibitory amount of a biocide having the formula ##SPC4## wherein R and R' are methyl, x and y are each integers in the range of 0-2, the sum of x and y being an integer in the range of 0-4 and wherein R" is selected from the group consisting of methyl, phenyl, halo, nitro and oxy, z being an integer in the range of 0-2 and wherein the sum of x, y, and z is an integer in the range of 0-4.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 16 words
The metal working fluid of claim 7 wherein z is an integer whose value is 1.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 12 words
The metal working fluid of claim 7 wherein said biocide is 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 19 words
The metal working fluid of claim 7 wherein said fluid is a cutting fluid and said biocide is 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline.
