Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for the purification of effluent which results in the textile, paper and leather industries and in the manufacture of dyestuffs, and which contains water-soluble, anionic dyestuffs or optical brighteners, the said process comprising the addition of a water-soluble formaldehyde condensation product to the said effluent and the subsequent removal of the occurring flocculate from the effluent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A process for the purification of aqueous effluent which results in the textile, paper and leather industries and in the manufacture of dyestuffs and optical brighteners, and which contain water-soluble, anionic dyestuffs or optical brighteners, said process comprising mixing said effluent with a water-soluble condensation product from dicyandiamide, formaldehyde, ethylene diamine and ammonium chloride in a ratio of 2.2 moles of formaldehyde, 1.3 moles of ethylene diamine and 0.8 moles of ammonium chloride per mole of dicyandiamide, in an amount corresponding to 0.03 to 3 grams of said condensation product per gram of dyestuff and optical brightener, and the subsequent removal of the occurring flocculate from the effluent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A process for the purification of aqueous effluent which results in the textile, paper and leather industries and in the manufacture of dyestuffs and optical brighteners, and which contain water-soluble, anionic dyestuffs or optical brighteners, said process comprising mixing said effluent with a water-soluble condensation product from dicyandiamide, formaldehyde, ethylene diamine and ammonium chloride in a ratio of 2.2 moles of formaldehyde, 1.3 moles of ethylene diamine and 0.8 moles of ammonium chloride per mole of dicyandiamide, in an amount corresponding to 0.03 to 3 grams of said condensation product per gram of dyestuff and optical brightener, and the subsequent removal of the occurring flocculate from the effluent.
