Abstract
Abstract A process for treating an aqueous slurry of pigment which comprises adding to the aqueous slurry a halogenated carbon medium which is in liquid state at room temperature and has at least one member selected from the group consisting of fluorine atom and chlorine atom in the molecule; agitating the aqueous slurry vigorously; separating the pigment in a form of cake containing the halogenated carbon medium; and drying the cake. According to the process of the present invention, a filtering step and a washing step can be eliminated and energy for drying can be greatly reduced. The pigment product obtained is excellent in brilliancy and clearness.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A process for treating an aqueous slurry of pigment which comprises adding to the aqueous slurry a halogenated hydrocarbon medium which is liquid at room temperature and has at least one halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine atom and chlorine atom in its molecule; agitating the aqueous slurry vigorously to cause the halogenated hydrocarbon medium to replace water as the medium wherein the pigment is dispersed; separating the pigment in the form of a cake containing the pigment and the halogenated hydrocarbon medium; and drying the cake to remove the halogenated hydrocarbon medium by evaporation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A process for treating an aqueous slurry of pigment which comprises adding to the aqueous slurry a halogenated hydrocarbon medium which is liquid at room temperature and has at least one halogen selected from the group consisting of fluorine atom and chlorine atom in its molecule; agitating the aqueous slurry vigorously to cause the halogenated hydrocarbon medium to replace water as the medium wherein the pigment is dispersed; separating the pigment in the form of a cake containing the pigment and the halogenated hydrocarbon medium; and drying the cake to remove the halogenated hydrocarbon medium by evaporation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The process of claim 1, wherein a small amount of at least one fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a trifluorochloroethylene polymer having a polymerization degree of 500-1300, a fluorine-containing surfactant and a fine powder of tetrafluoroethylene polymer is added to the aqueous slurry together with the halogenated carbon medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
The process of claim 1, wherein a small amount of at least one fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a trifluorochloroethylene polymer having a polymerization degree of 500-1300, a fluorine-containing surfactant and a fine powder of tetrafluoroethylene polymer is added to the separated cake, and the cake is kneaded and dried.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the halogenated hydrocarbon medium is selected from the group consisting of trifluorotrichloroethane, tetrafluoroethylene, tetrachloromethane and tetrachloroethylene.
