Abstract
Abstract Polymeric piperazinamides suitable for use in reverse osmosis membranes. These polymeric piperazineamides consist essentially of the repeating unit ##STR1## wherein x is zero or a whole number from 1 to 8, R is a substituent such as alkyl, and --A-- is a bivalent radical, namely an organic dicarbonyl radical which either is always of the formula ##STR2## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, and R' and R" are each hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, or else where some of said radicals --A-- are of formula (III) and the remainder of said radicals --A-- are organic dicarbonyl radicals differing from said formula (III).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A membrane forming polymeric piperazinamide consisting essentially of the repeating unit having a structure defined by the formula (I): ##STR7## wherein the group defined by the general formula (II): ##STR8## is a bivalent piperazine radical, wherein x is zero or a whole number from 1 to 8, and where, when x is not zero, R is alkyl; said --A-- groups representing at least two different dicarbonylic groups, a first dicarboxylic group having a structure defined by the formula (III): ##STR9## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, and R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and aryl radicals; and constituting at least 10 mol% of said --A-- groups and a second dicarboxylic group constituting that portion of said A groups that is not made up of dicarbonylic radicals of the formula (III), and being the dicarbonylic radical from one or more dicarboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of fumaric, mesaconic, orthophthalic, isophthalic, terephthalic and thiofurazan-3,4-dicarboxylic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
A membrane forming polymeric piperazinamide consisting essentially of the repeating unit having a structure defined by the formula (I): ##STR7## wherein the group defined by the general formula (II): ##STR8## is a bivalent piperazine radical, wherein x is zero or a whole number from 1 to 8, and where, when x is not zero, R is alkyl; said --A-- groups representing at least two different dicarbonylic groups, a first dicarboxylic group having a structure defined by the formula (III): ##STR9## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, and R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and aryl radicals; and constituting at least 10 mol% of said --A-- groups and a second dicarboxylic group constituting that portion of said A groups that is not made up of dicarbonylic radicals of the formula (III), and being the dicarbonylic radical from one or more dicarboxylic acids selected from the group consisting of fumaric, mesaconic, orthophthalic, isophthalic, terephthalic and thiofurazan-3,4-dicarboxylic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
A reverse osmosis anisotropic gel membrane of a polymeric piperazinamide consisting essentially of the repeating unit having a structure defined by the formula (I): ##STR10## wherein the group defined by the general formula (II): ##STR11## is a bivalent piperazine radical, wherein x is a whole number from 1 to 8, and R is alkyl; said --A-- groups representing a dicarbonylic group having a structure defined by the formula (III): ##STR12## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, and R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and aryl radicals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
93 words
A reverse osmosis anisotropic gel membrane of a polymeric piperazinamide consisting essentially of the repeating unit having a structure defined by the formula (I): ##STR10## wherein the group defined by the general formula (II): ##STR11## is a bivalent piperazine radical, wherein x is a whole number from 1 to 8, and R is alkyl; said --A-- groups representing a dicarbonylic group having a structure defined by the formula (III): ##STR12## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, and R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, and aryl radicals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A reverse osmosis anisotropic gel membrane of the polymeric piperazinamide of claim 1.
