Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A method of preparing a mixture of cation and anion exchange resin particles substantially all of which are in a size range of about 10 to 250 microns, comprising: combining large bead cation and anion exchange resin particles; and grinding the combination of anion and cation exchange resin particles to a size range of about 10 to 250 microns.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
59 words
A method of preparing a mixture of cation and anion exchange resin particles substantially all of which are in a size range of about 10 to 250 microns, comprising: combining large bead cation and anion exchange resin particles; and grinding the combination of anion and cation exchange resin particles to a size range of about 10 to 250 microns.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
55 words
A method of preparing a filter precoat medium having particles substantially all in a size range of about 60 to 400 mesh, comprising: combining large bead anion and cation exchange resin particles; and grinding the combination of anion exchange resin and cation exchange resin particles to a size range of about 60 to 400 mesh.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
55 words
A method of preparing a filter precoat medium having particles substantially all in a size range of about 60 to 400 mesh, comprising: combining large bead anion and cation exchange resin particles; and grinding the combination of anion exchange resin and cation exchange resin particles to a size range of about 60 to 400 mesh.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
27 words
The method of claims 1 or 2 wherein the step of grinding reduces the combination of particles to a size range of about 10 to 40 microns.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 1 or 2 wherein the cation exchange resin is in the ammonium form and the anion exchange resin is in the hydroxide form.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
27 words
The method of claims 1 or 2 wherein the cation exchange resin is in the hydrogen form and the anion exchange resin is in the hydroxide form.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
29 words
The method of claims 1 or 2 wherein the ratio by weight of cation exchange resins to anion exchange resins is between 3 to 1 and 1 to 1.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
43 words
The method of claims 1 or 2 wherein the step of grinding the combination of anion and cation exchange resins includes feeding the resin combination into a hammer mill having a retaining screen with uniform aperture sizes between about 0.020 to 0.070 inches.
