Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A process for the production of ammonium oxalate and metal carbonates which are stable under the conditions of the process comprising reacting a metal oxalate with an adduct of carbon dioxide with ammonia or aqueous ammonium hydroxide in a liquid media selected from water, ammonia, methanol, acetone or mixtures thereof at temperatures in the range of -50° C to 300° C under conditions sufficient to retain the liquid media in the liquid state to form an ammonium oxalate and the corresponding metal carbonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A process for the production of ammonium oxalate and metal carbonates which are stable under the conditions of the process comprising reacting a metal oxalate with an adduct of carbon dioxide with ammonia or aqueous ammonium hydroxide in a liquid media selected from water, ammonia, methanol, acetone or mixtures thereof at temperatures in the range of -50° C to 300° C under conditions sufficient to retain the liquid media in the liquid state to form an ammonium oxalate and the corresponding metal carbonate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said carbon dioxide adduct with ammonia or ammonium hydroxide is formed in situ by adding carbon dioxide to said liquid media containing ammonia or ammonium hydroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said oxalate is calcium oxalate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said calcium oxalate is freshly prepared.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
9 words
The process of claim 1 which is conducted continuously.
