Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
248 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates from a feed solution by the utilization of a fractionation medium wherein the solution contains carbohydrates A and B in major amounts and carbohydrate A has a volume distribution coefficient of at least 0.05 units greater than carbohydrate B when determined on said medium comprising: I. sequentially admitting predetermined volumes of the feed solution and elution water to a column of said medium; Ii. separating the effluent from the column sequentially into the following fractions: a. carbohydrate A rich fraction, b. carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B, c. carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A, d. carbohydrate B rich fraction, and e. dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction, Iii. admitting sequentially into the column: a. carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B, b. a volume of feed solution approximately equal to carbohydrate B rich fraction, c. carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A, d. dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction, e. a volume of elution water approximately equal to the volume of the carbohydrate A rich frction, the carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B and the dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction being recycled directly to the column and the carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A being collected while the feed solution is introduced into the column and then admitting said collected fraction into the column, and Iv. repeating steps II and III in a cyclic manner.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
248 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates from a feed solution by the utilization of a fractionation medium wherein the solution contains carbohydrates A and B in major amounts and carbohydrate A has a volume distribution coefficient of at least 0.05 units greater than carbohydrate B when determined on said medium comprising: I. sequentially admitting predetermined volumes of the feed solution and elution water to a column of said medium; Ii. separating the effluent from the column sequentially into the following fractions: a. carbohydrate A rich fraction, b. carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B, c. carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A, d. carbohydrate B rich fraction, and e. dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction, Iii. admitting sequentially into the column: a. carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B, b. a volume of feed solution approximately equal to carbohydrate B rich fraction, c. carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A, d. dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction, e. a volume of elution water approximately equal to the volume of the carbohydrate A rich frction, the carbohydrate A rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate B and the dilute carbohydrate B rich fraction being recycled directly to the column and the carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A being collected while the feed solution is introduced into the column and then admitting said collected fraction into the column, and Iv. repeating steps II and III in a cyclic manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates as defined in claim 1, wherein carbohydrate A has a volume distribution coefficient of at least 0.1 units greater than carbohydrate B when determined on the medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates as defined in claim 2, wherein carbohydrate A has a volume distribution coefficient of at least 0.2 units greater than carbohydrate B when determined on the medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates as defined in claim 2, wherein the medium comprises porous particulate ion exchange resins.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim
61 words
A method for the separation of water soluble carbohydrates as defined in claim 7, wherein the carbohydrate B rich fraction highly contaminated with carbohydrate A is collected in a storage tank by directing said fraction into the top of said tank, and withdrawing said fraction from the bottom of said tank thereby maintaining the dry substance concentration gradient of said fraction.
