Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
A process of reclaiming spent lube oil which comprises treating said spent lube oil with a composition consisting essentially of a surfactant and a polyalkylene polyamine at an elevated temperature, separating the settled impurities and recovering the reclaimed oil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 1 where the surfactant is anionic.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 2 where the anionic surfactant contains a sulfate or a sulfonate radical.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 3 where the polyalkylene polyamine is predominantly of the formula ##STR10##
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 4 where the surfactant is an alkylarylsulfonic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 5 where the alkylarylsulfonic acid is ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
50 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said elevated temperature is 50° to 200° C., the weight ratio of surfactant to polyalkylene polyamine is between 95 to 5 and 5 to 95 and the amount of treating composition employed is from about 0.02% to 5.0% by weight of the oil treated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 6 where said composition contains water.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 8 where the polyalkylene polyamine is predominantly ##STR11##
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 8 where the polyalkylene polyamine is predominantly ##STR12##
