Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of stripping an organic extraction solvent containing molybdenum and vanadium quaternary alkyl ammonium complexes comprising: contacting said organic extraction solvent with an aqueous stripping solution maintained at a temperature of no more than 50° C., a pH of between 7 and 9, and containing at least 75 grams per liter of a salt of a bicarbonate ion, for a time sufficient to convert said molybdenum and vanadium quaternary alkyl ammonium complexes to aqueous soluble metal complexes; separating said organic extraction solvent and said aqueous stripping solution.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of stripping an organic extraction solvent containing molybdenum and vanadium quaternary alkyl ammonium complexes comprising: contacting said organic extraction solvent with an aqueous stripping solution maintained at a temperature of no more than 50° C., a pH of between 7 and 9, and containing at least 75 grams per liter of a salt of a bicarbonate ion, for a time sufficient to convert said molybdenum and vanadium quaternary alkyl ammonium complexes to aqueous soluble metal complexes; separating said organic extraction solvent and said aqueous stripping solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said salt of bicarbonate ion is ammonium bicarbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said organic extract solution contains tri-caprylyl methyl ammonium chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said bicarbonate concentration is at least 160 grams per liter.
