Abstract
Abstract A process for producing stable ( beta -type) dioxazine violet pigment having superior gloss and tinting strength to the metastable ( alpha -type or a type analogous thereto) dioxazine violet pigment, by mixing an aqueous suspension of a metastable dioxazine violet pigment with an acetate or ketone compound and then heating the mixture. The metastable dioxazine violet pigment may be that obtained according to the conventional method, and employable in situ.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A process for the crystal transformation of dioxazine violet pigment, comprising suspending a metastable dioxazine violet pigment having the type crystal form characteristic in 5.8°, 10.2° and 24.4° at 2θ in the diffraction angle in water mixed with (1) an acetate of an aliphatic or alicyclic alcohol or (2) an aliphatic or alicyclic ketone having 4 to 11 carbons, and heating until a stable dioxazine violet pigment having the β type crystal form characteristic in 5.7°, 10.2°, 17.1°, 23.4° and 28.6° at 2θ in the diffraction angle is obtained.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A process for the crystal transformation of dioxazine violet pigment, comprising suspending a metastable dioxazine violet pigment having the type crystal form characteristic in 5.8°, 10.2° and 24.4° at 2θ in the diffraction angle in water mixed with (1) an acetate of an aliphatic or alicyclic alcohol or (2) an aliphatic or alicyclic ketone having 4 to 11 carbons, and heating until a stable dioxazine violet pigment having the β type crystal form characteristic in 5.7°, 10.2°, 17.1°, 23.4° and 28.6° at 2θ in the diffraction angle is obtained.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the metastable dioxazine violet pigment is obtained by mixing crude dioxazine violet with 60 to 90% sulfuric acid to form the sulfate, and then hydrolyzing the said sulfate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the metastable dioxazine violet pigment is obtained by sulfonating an aromatic hydrocarbon in concentrated sulfuric acid, successively adjusting the concentration of the sulfuric acid to 60 to 90%, then adding crude dioxazine violet thereto to form the sulfate, and hydrolyzing the said sulfate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the metastable dioxazine violet pigment is obtained by dissolving crude dioxazine violet in a halogenated acetic acid, and then subjecting the solution to recrystallization with water or a water-soluble solvent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein there is used methyl isobutyl ketone.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein there is used n-butyl acetate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the mixing amount of the acetate or aliphatic or alicyclic ketone of 4 to 11 carbons is 0.1 to 5.0 times the weight of the starting pigment.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process according to claim 7, wherein the amount of water being used is 5 to 20 times the weight of the starting pigment.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of water being used is 5 to 20 times the weight of the starting pigment.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the heat treatment is carried out under the normal pressure and at a temperature of not higher than 100° C.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
80 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein there is mixed with the metastable dioxazine violet pigment a compound which is methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate, n-amyl acetate, γ-methoxybutyl acetate, methylamyl acetate, β-ethylbutyl acetate, β-ethylhexyl acetate, cyclohexyl acetate, methylcyclohexyl acetate, nonyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl n-propyl ketone, methyl n-butyl ketone, diethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl n-amyl ketone, ethyl butyl ketone, methyl hexyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, cyclohexanon, 4-methylcyclohexanon, or 3- methylcyclohexanon.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the aqueous suspension of the metastable dioxazine violet pigment which is mixed with the acetate or ketone contains water as the sole liquid.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 12 wherein the aqueous suspension employed consists essentially of the metastable dioxazine violet pigment and water.
