Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A process of preparing a dispersion of a water soluble cationic power polymer which comprises diluting with water a water-in-oil emulsion of a water soluble acrylamide polymer containing 20% by weight to 50% by weight of said acrylamide polymer, adding to said diluted emulsion a surfactant and a premix of formaldehyde and a secondary amine selected from the group consisting of dimethylamine, methylethylamine, dibutylamine, methylamylamine, methylaminoethanol, diethanolamine, morpholine and piperidine, in which the ratio of formaldehyde to said secondary amine is within the range of 10:1 to 1:10, the dilution and resultant concentration of polymer being such that the concentration of resultant cationic polymer is 1 to 10%0 by weight and the formation of said cationic polymer occurs in not more than 20 minutes, the weight ratio of said premix to said acrylamide polymer being within the range of 1:2 to 2:1 and the resultant cationic polymer having a cationicity of at least 60%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A process of preparing a dispersion of a water soluble cationic power polymer which comprises diluting with water a water-in-oil emulsion of a water soluble acrylamide polymer containing 20% by weight to 50% by weight of said acrylamide polymer, adding to said diluted emulsion a surfactant and a premix of formaldehyde and a secondary amine selected from the group consisting of dimethylamine, methylethylamine, dibutylamine, methylamylamine, methylaminoethanol, diethanolamine, morpholine and piperidine, in which the ratio of formaldehyde to said secondary amine is within the range of 10:1 to 1:10, the dilution and resultant concentration of polymer being such that the concentration of resultant cationic polymer is 1 to 10%0 by weight and the formation of said cationic polymer occurs in not more than 20 minutes, the weight ratio of said premix to said acrylamide polymer being within the range of 1:2 to 2:1 and the resultant cationic polymer having a cationicity of at least 60%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which said premix is a formaldehyde-dimethylamine adduct.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which said premix is a formaldehyde-dimethylamine adduct and said acrylamide polymer is nonionic polyacrylamide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the mixing of said premix and said emulsion is performed at a pH greater than 7.0.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said premix and said emulsion are mixed at a pH within the range of 9 to 11.0.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the mixing of said premix and said emulsion is effected at temperatures of about 40° to 70° F.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
96 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said premix contains formaldehyde and dimethylamine in a molar ratio of 1:1 and said acrylamide polymer is a nonionic water soluble polyacrylamide, said premix is mixed with water and a surfactant before being added to said emulsion, said premix containing said surfactant is gradually added to said emulsion and the resultant mixture vigorously agitated for not more than 20 minutes, the temperature of the resultant mixture being about 40° to about 70° F., and the molecular weight of said polyacrylamide being within the range of about 2-14 million.
Claim 9
