Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A method of fluidizing a flocculated red mud plastic mass which comprises uniformly admixing with the flocculated red mud plastic mass at least 0.10 pound per metric ton of an acrylic acid polymer as polymer based upon the dry weight of the red mud, said polymer having a molecular weight within the range of 5,000-30,000.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
55 words
A method of fluidizing a flocculated red mud plastic mass which comprises uniformly admixing with the flocculated red mud plastic mass at least 0.10 pound per metric ton of an acrylic acid polymer as polymer based upon the dry weight of the red mud, said polymer having a molecular weight within the range of 5,000-30,000.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 where the acrylic acid polymer contains from 10-30% by weight of methylmethacrylate.
