Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily-dispersible granules which comprises contacting, with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment, and an aniline which is liquid at temperature below 100° C., insoluble in water at pH values above 7, and soluble in water at pH values below 7, the pH value being first above 7, maintaining the temperature above the melting point of the aniline and reducing the pH to below 7 to render the aniline compound soluble in water, and recovering the resulting granules in a solvent free condition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A process for producing an organic pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily-dispersible granules which consists of contacting with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment and an aniline or a mono- or di-alkylaniline in which each alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms which is liquid at temperatures below 100° C., insoluble in water at pH values above 7, and soluble in water at pH values below 7, the pH being first above 7, maintaining the temperature above the melting point of the aniline, stirring at least until the pigment has migrated from the aqueous phase to the organic phase consisting of the aniline, and then reducing the pH to below 7 to render the aniline soluble in water, and recovering the resulting granules in a solvent-free condition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A process for producing an organic pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily-dispersible granules which consists of contacting with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment and an aniline or a mono- or di-alkylaniline in which each alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms which is liquid at temperatures below 100° C., insoluble in water at pH values above 7, and soluble in water at pH values below 7, the pH being first above 7, maintaining the temperature above the melting point of the aniline, stirring at least until the pigment has migrated from the aqueous phase to the organic phase consisting of the aniline, and then reducing the pH to below 7 to render the aniline soluble in water, and recovering the resulting granules in a solvent-free condition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the amount of aniline is from 0.1 to 2 parts by weight per part of pigment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the amount of aniline is from 0.3 to 0.6 parts by weight per part of pigment.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
139 words
A process for producing an organic pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily-dispersible granules which consists of contacting with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment, a protective colloid, and an aniline or a mono- or di-alkylaniline in which each alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms which is liquid at temperatures below 100° C., insoluble in water at pH values above 7, and soluble in water at pH values below 7, the pH being first above 7, maintaining the temperature above the melting point of the aniline, stirring at least until the pigment has migrated from the aqueous phase to the organic phase consisting of the aniline and the protective colloid, and then reducing the pH below 7 to render the aniline soluble in water, and recovering the resulting granules in a solvent-free condition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
139 words
A process for producing an organic pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily-dispersible granules which consists of contacting with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment, a protective colloid, and an aniline or a mono- or di-alkylaniline in which each alkyl group has 1 to 8 carbon atoms which is liquid at temperatures below 100° C., insoluble in water at pH values above 7, and soluble in water at pH values below 7, the pH being first above 7, maintaining the temperature above the melting point of the aniline, stirring at least until the pigment has migrated from the aqueous phase to the organic phase consisting of the aniline and the protective colloid, and then reducing the pH below 7 to render the aniline soluble in water, and recovering the resulting granules in a solvent-free condition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, in which the protective colloid is mixed with an aqueous pigment slurry or an aqueous dispersion of the aniline before the pigment or dyestuff and aniline are brought together.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, in which the protective colloid is a cellulose derivative.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, in which the amount of protective colloid is up to 15% by weight of the pigment or dyestuff.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as claimed in claim 4, in which the amount of protective colloid is less than 5% by weight of the pigment.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process as claimed in claims 1 or 4, in which the stirring is such as will produce granules of a size from 0.1 to 5 mm. in diameter.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process as claimed in claims 1 or 4, in which the stirring is such as will produce granules of a size from 0.5 to 2 mm. in diameter.
