Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
In a process for treating water by passing the water through an ion exchange resin, the improvement comprising: adding a catalyzed hydrazine compound to the water being treated prior to passage through the ion exchange resin in an amount effective to reduce iron fouling of the ion exchange resin; and passing the water containing said catalyzed hydrazine through the ion exchange resin to effect treatment of the water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
In a process for treating water by passing the water through an ion exchange resin, the improvement comprising: adding a catalyzed hydrazine compound to the water being treated prior to passage through the ion exchange resin in an amount effective to reduce iron fouling of the ion exchange resin; and passing the water containing said catalyzed hydrazine through the ion exchange resin to effect treatment of the water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the catalyzed hydrazine compound is present in the water in an amount of at least 0.02 ppm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the catalyzed hydrazine compound is present in the water in an amount of at least 0.2 ppm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrazine compound is catalyzed with a quinone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrazine compound is catalyzed with an organometallic complex.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrazine compound is hydrazine and catalyzed hydrazine is present in the water in an amount of at least 0.02 ppm.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the hydrazine is catalyzed with a quinone.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the hydrazine is catalyzed with an organometallic complex.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the water treated is a water condensate generated in a steam turbine system.
