Abstract
Abstract A method for preparing an extended corrosion inhibiting pigment for use in formulating protective coatings for ferrous substrates in which a particulated inert carrier is slurried in an aqueous solution in the presence of molybdic oxide, to which a metal oxide of zinc, calcium, strontium and/or barium is added in a manner to effect a deposition of the corresponding metal molybdate on the carrier particles, whereafter the coated carrier is separated, dried and calcined at an elevated temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for the manufacture of a substantially non-toxic complex corrosion inhibiting pigment which comprises the steps of (1) dispersing a water-insoluble inert inorganic pigmentary sized solid particulate carrier in an aqueous carrier, (2) further dispersing a quantity of pigmentary sized molybdenum trioxide in said aqueous carrier to effect sufficient dissolution thereof to produce reactively available molybdate ions, (3) adding to said slurry and slurrying therein a metal oxide also in a pigmentary size range selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, calcium oxide, strontium oxide, barium oxide and mixtures thereof thereby producing corresponding reactive, available metal ions in said aqueous carrier slurry, (4) reacting said metal ions with said molybdate ions to precipitate substantially insoluble metal molybdate compounds as an adherent deposit on said particulated inert carrier, continuing said acid-base type reaction and precipitation of the corresponding metal molybdate reaction products on said inert carrier particles until the reaction is substantially completed, separating the thus formed salt-free complex molybdated pigment product from the gross aqueous salt-free reaction medium, drying and removing substantially all the remaining moisture including water of hydration therefrom.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for the manufacture of a substantially non-toxic complex corrosion inhibiting pigment which comprises the steps of (1) dispersing a water-insoluble inert inorganic pigmentary sized solid particulate carrier in an aqueous carrier, (2) further dispersing a quantity of pigmentary sized molybdenum trioxide in said aqueous carrier to effect sufficient dissolution thereof to produce reactively available molybdate ions, (3) adding to said slurry and slurrying therein a metal oxide also in a pigmentary size range selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, calcium oxide, strontium oxide, barium oxide and mixtures thereof thereby producing corresponding reactive, available metal ions in said aqueous carrier slurry, (4) reacting said metal ions with said molybdate ions to precipitate substantially insoluble metal molybdate compounds as an adherent deposit on said particulated inert carrier, continuing said acid-base type reaction and precipitation of the corresponding metal molybdate reaction products on said inert carrier particles until the reaction is substantially completed, separating the thus formed salt-free complex molybdated pigment product from the gross aqueous salt-free reaction medium, drying and removing substantially all the remaining moisture including water of hydration therefrom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, including the further step of heating, but not above the boiling point the said aqueous slurry reaction mixture of step 4.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 1, including the further steps of heating and vigorously agitating said aqueous slurry during said reaction of step 4 to maintain a substantially uniform suspension of said particulated inert carrier and said molybdenum oxide in said slurry.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the metal oxide is dispersed in water to form a slurry before adding the metal oxide to the first prepared aqueous suspension of molybdenum trioxide of steps (1) and (2) in step (3).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the complex molybdated pigment product is further dried after separation from the aqueous medium to remove the predominant quantity of water therefrom and thereafter milled to eliminate any agglomerates present therein and calcining the milled product to remove any water of hydration present.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1, wherein in the reaction and precipitation steps from about 2 up to about 30% of the selected metal molybdate is deposited on said particulated inert carrier, by weight of the total complex pigment product.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 where the selected metal molybdate is from about 10 to about 25% by weight of the total complex pigment product.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the molar quantity of metal ions to the molybdate ions is within the range of from 1:1 to not more than 5:1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method as defined in claim 1, wherein the molar concentration of metal oxide is in excess of that required stoichiometrically to form the corresponding metal molybdate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 9, wherein the molar ratio of metal to molybdate is 2:1.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
12 words

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
