Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process according to claim 1, characterised in that 1,2-dichloro-propane is used as the aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Process according to claim 1, characterised in that sodium hydroxide in the form of a 5-10% strength solution is employed as the acid-binding agent, using a metering device controlled by the pH.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
Process according to claim 1, characterised in that instead of the colour bases according to claim 1, salts thereof with inorganic or organic acids are employed, the colour base being liberated by the addition of acid-binding agents in the first reaction step.
