Abstract

Abstract A process for the preparation of PVP-iodine having an iodine:iodide ratio of about 2:1 and a partition coefficient of 180-250, by reacting PVP with elementary iodine in the presence of formic acid, oxalic acid or an ammonium salt or amide of carbonic acid, formic acid or oxalic acid, in aqueous solution.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 85 words
A process for the preparation of PVP-iodine having an iodine: iodide ratio of about 2:1, a partition coefficient of 180-250 and an iodine content of from about 5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the solids which comprises: reacting PVP having a K value of from 10 to 35 with elementary iodine in the presence of formic acid, oxalic acid or an ammonium salt or amide of carbonic acid, formic acid or oxalic acid, said reaction being carried out in aqueous solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 85 words
A process for the preparation of PVP-iodine having an iodine: iodide ratio of about 2:1, a partition coefficient of 180-250 and an iodine content of from about 5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the solids which comprises: reacting PVP having a K value of from 10 to 35 with elementary iodine in the presence of formic acid, oxalic acid or an ammonium salt or amide of carbonic acid, formic acid or oxalic acid, said reaction being carried out in aqueous solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
The process of claim 1, wherein formic acid, oxalic acid or an ammonium salt or amide of carbonic acid, formic acid or oxalic acid is added to an aqueous solution of PVP containing from 10 to 60% by weight of PVP and wherein elemental iodine is added to the solution and reacted therein with PVP.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 88 words
The process of claim 2, wherein elemental iodine is added to the PVP solution at a temperature of from about room temperature to about 50° C. and is mixed with the solution until the iodine is dissolved, and wherein the solution is then heated at from about 50° to 80° C. for a sufficient period of time to produce an iodine:iodide ratio of 2:1 and to form a PVP-iodine having an available iodine content of from 5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the solids.
