Abstract
Abstract A method for using a macroamine polymer as a flocculating agent, said polymer having a structural unit shown by the following formula: ##EQU1## wherein R represents an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, x is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.65 and 0.95, and y is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.23 and 0.04. Said polymer can be obtained by reacting polyvinyl bromide with an N-monoalkylaniline having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
In a process for treating water to remove dissolved and suspended impurities including metallic ions, bentonite or dyestuffs by floculation, the improvement comprising a. dissolving in said water an effective amount of a water soluble linear macroamine polymer consisting essentially of a structural unit shown by the following formula: ##EQU5## wherein R represents alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, x is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.65 and 0.95, and y is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.23 and 0.04, and b. separating floc formed in step (a) from said water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
In a process for treating water to remove dissolved and suspended impurities including metallic ions, bentonite or dyestuffs by floculation, the improvement comprising a. dissolving in said water an effective amount of a water soluble linear macroamine polymer consisting essentially of a structural unit shown by the following formula: ##EQU5## wherein R represents alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, x is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.65 and 0.95, and y is a mol decimal fraction between about 0.23 and 0.04, and b. separating floc formed in step (a) from said water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein x in the macroamine polymer is between 0.80 and 0.95.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
