Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
35 words
A process for purifying an aliphatic isocyanate containing hydrolyzable chlorine which comprises mixing finely divided dry alkali metal carbonate with the aliphatic isocyanate containing the hydrolyzable chlorine, at a temperature between 180° and 235° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process for purifying an aliphatic isocyanate containing hydrolyzable chlorine which comprises mixing finely divided dry alkali metal carbonate with the aliphatic isocyanate containing the hydrolyzable chlorine, at a temperature between 180° and 235° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkali metal carbonate is selected from the class consisting of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and lithium carbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 in which the finely divided dry alkali metal carbonate is formed by grinding the metal carbonate in the presence of the aliphatic isocyanate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkali metal carbonate is ground in aliphatic isocyanate and then added to the impure isocyanate to be treated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 in which the carbonate is finely divided by grinding it in another inert organic liquid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 which includes the additional step of separating the aliphatic isocyanate from the reaction product of the carbonate and the hydrolyzable chlorine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 6 in which the separation is accomplished by distillation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 6 in which the separation is accomplished by filtration.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 1 in which the aliphatic isocyanate is 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexyl diisocyanate).
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 9 in which sodium carbonate is the alkali metal carbonate.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 in which most of the finely divided dry alkali metal carbonate particles have a diameter of no greater than 5 microns.
