Abstract
Abstract Blue iron hexacyanoferrate-III pigments (I) are prepared by anodic oxidation of metallic iron in hydrogen cyanide, or a reaction medium containing hydrogen cyanide, at pH<7 and at an anode potential of </=0.76 V (measured against a standard hydrogen electrode) to complex iron-II hexacyanoferrate-II compounds (II), which are then oxidized to (I) in a conventional manner. The oxidation of (II) is advantageously carried out with air or oxygen at pH 0-4 and at from 70 to 95 DEG C., but can also be carried out at pH>8. The process gives readily dispersible pigments (I) which are of high color strength and give brilliant, glossy colorations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
In a process for the preparation of blue iron hexacyanoferrate-III pigments, wherein the iron-II hexacyanoferate-II compound is prepared, isolated and then oxidized to the blue pigment, the improvement wherein the iron-II-hexacyanoferrate-II compound is prepared by anodic oxidation of metallic iron at pH<7 and at an anode potential of <0.76 V--measured against the standard hydrogen electrode--at from -20° to 150° C., in a reaction medium comprising hydrogen cyanide, in a suitable solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
In a process for the preparation of blue iron hexacyanoferrate-III pigments, wherein the iron-II hexacyanoferate-II compound is prepared, isolated and then oxidized to the blue pigment, the improvement wherein the iron-II-hexacyanoferrate-II compound is prepared by anodic oxidation of metallic iron at pH<7 and at an anode potential of <0.76 V--measured against the standard hydrogen electrode--at from -20° to 150° C., in a reaction medium comprising hydrogen cyanide, in a suitable solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
