Abstract
Abstract In order to reduce the tendency to decompose of particles or granules of alkali metal chlorites and to enhance their stability, said particles or granules are completely coated with an inorganic salt or a mixture of such salts which are compatible with the chlorite and with each other, e.g. nitrates, carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, silicates and chlorides, especially alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts thereof. The coating may be carried out by any conventional coating process, e.g. by contacting the particles with a solution of the stabilizing salts under vaporizing conditions in a rotating inclined disk, a rotary drum, or in a fluidized bed.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
An alkali metal chlorite-containing product comprising ( a) alkali metal chlorite-containing particles and (b) a coating on said particles, said coating being an inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of sodium nitrate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium chloride, potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium phosphate, potassium silicate, potassium chloride and mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A product as claimed in claim 1 wherein the alkali metal chlorite is sodium chlorite.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A product as claimed in claim 1 wherein the particles are granules.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A product as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alkali metal chlorite-containing particles comprise a mixture of alkali metal chlorite and an inorganic salt different from the alkali metal chlorite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A product as claimed in claim 4 wherein said different inorganic salt in the particles is a nitrate, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, silicate or chloride.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A product as claimed in claim 5 wherein said different inorganic salt in the particles is an alkali metal salt or an alkaline earth metal salt.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A product as claimed in claim 6 wherein said different inorganic salt in the particles is a sodium or potassium salt.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A product as claimed in claim 1 wherein the particles are coated in at least 10% by weight based on uncoated particles of the inorganic salt.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
Coated alkali metal chlorite-containing particles as claimed in claim 1 and which suffer substantially no loss in weight when contacted, in the absence of contaminants, with a lighted cigarette.
