Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a solvent primarily composed of a low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene for the extraction of an oil fraction in water and measuring the concentration of the oil fraction in water by solvent extraction in the infrared absorption method. The low polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylene contemplated as a solvent herein may be a single polymer or a mixture of polymers of different degrees of polymerization as shown in the following formulae: <IMAGE> WHEREIN BOTH ATOMS REPRESENTED BY X in the first chemical formula are the same or different from each other and X is a chlorine or fluorine atom, and n is 2 or 3.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
In a method for extracting and measuring the concentration of an oil fraction in water which comprises extracting the oil from a water sample with a solvent and analyzing the concentration of oil in the solvent by means of an infrared analyzer, the improvement wherein the solvent utilized to extract the oil from the water sample consists essentially of a low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
In a method for extracting and measuring the concentration of an oil fraction in water which comprises extracting the oil from a water sample with a solvent and analyzing the concentration of oil in the solvent by means of an infrared analyzer, the improvement wherein the solvent utilized to extract the oil from the water sample consists essentially of a low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
67 words
The improvement according to claim 1, wherein said low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene is a single polymer or any mixture of polymers of different degrees of polymerization as shown in the following chemical formulae: ##STR5## wherein both atoms represented by X in the first chemical formula are the same or different from each other and X is a chlorine or fluorine atom, and n is 2 or 3.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The improvement according to claim 2, wherein the chemical structure of said low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene is Cl(CF 2 --CFCl) 2 Cl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
In a method for extracting and measuring the concentration of an oil fraction in water by the solvent extraction in the infrared-absorption method, which comprises introducing a water sample containing oil and a solvent for the oil into an extractor to extract oil from the water sample, introducing the combined mixture into a separator to permit the entire mixture to separate into an aqueous and a solvent-oil extract phase, and then introducing the solvent containing the oil-extract into an infrared analyzer; the improvement wherein the solvent utilized to extract the oil from the water sample consists essentially of a low polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
103 words
