Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A process for preparing a dispersion comprising finely divided particles of a first magnetic solid dispersed in a continuous phase of a water-insoluble organic solvent, comprising the steps of (A) dispersing (a) the components of an aqueous reaction mixture capable of reacting to form said first magnetic solid and containing water therein, in (b) a liquid comprised of a solution of an oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble organic solvent, and forming a dispersed system of two immiscible liquid phases wherein the continuous phase is said liquid (b) and the disperse phase is finely divided droplets of said aqueous reaction mixture; and (B) effecting the reaction of the components of said aqueous reaction mixture, in situ in said dispersed system, to transform said droplets into finely divided particles of said first magnetic solid, said oil-soluble surface active agent being adhered to or adsorbed on said finely divided particles and being effective to disperse them in said water-insoluble organic solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A process for preparing a dispersion comprising finely divided particles of a first magnetic solid dispersed in a continuous phase of a water-insoluble organic solvent, comprising the steps of (A) dispersing (a) the components of an aqueous reaction mixture capable of reacting to form said first magnetic solid and containing water therein, in (b) a liquid comprised of a solution of an oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble organic solvent, and forming a dispersed system of two immiscible liquid phases wherein the continuous phase is said liquid (b) and the disperse phase is finely divided droplets of said aqueous reaction mixture; and (B) effecting the reaction of the components of said aqueous reaction mixture, in situ in said dispersed system, to transform said droplets into finely divided particles of said first magnetic solid, said oil-soluble surface active agent being adhered to or adsorbed on said finely divided particles and being effective to disperse them in said water-insoluble organic solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
207 words
A process for preparing a dispersion comprising finely divided particles of Fe 3 O 4 dispersed in a continuous phase of a water-insoluble non-polar organic solvent, comprising the steps of dispersing (a) a water-soluble ferrous salt, a water-soluble ferric salt, a water-soluble alkali and water to form an aqueous reaction mixture capable of reacting to form finely divided solid Fe 3 O 4 particles in (b) a liquid consisting essentially of a solution of an oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble non-polar organic solvent in which liquid the concentration of said oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble organic solvent is higher than the critical micelle concentration thereof, and thereby forming a dispersed system consisting essentially of two immiscible liquid phases wherein the continuous phase is said liquid (b) and the disperse phase is finely divided droplets of said aqueous reaction mixture; effecting the reaction of the components of said aqueous reaction mixture, in situ in said dispersed system, to transform said droplets into finely divided solid particles of Fe 3 O 4 , said oil-soluble surface active agent being adhered to or adsorbed on said finely divided solid particles of Fe 3 O 4 and being effective to disperse them in said water-insoluble organic solvent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
207 words
A process for preparing a dispersion comprising finely divided particles of Fe 3 O 4 dispersed in a continuous phase of a water-insoluble non-polar organic solvent, comprising the steps of dispersing (a) a water-soluble ferrous salt, a water-soluble ferric salt, a water-soluble alkali and water to form an aqueous reaction mixture capable of reacting to form finely divided solid Fe 3 O 4 particles in (b) a liquid consisting essentially of a solution of an oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble non-polar organic solvent in which liquid the concentration of said oil-soluble surface active agent in said water-insoluble organic solvent is higher than the critical micelle concentration thereof, and thereby forming a dispersed system consisting essentially of two immiscible liquid phases wherein the continuous phase is said liquid (b) and the disperse phase is finely divided droplets of said aqueous reaction mixture; effecting the reaction of the components of said aqueous reaction mixture, in situ in said dispersed system, to transform said droplets into finely divided solid particles of Fe 3 O 4 , said oil-soluble surface active agent being adhered to or adsorbed on said finely divided solid particles of Fe 3 O 4 and being effective to disperse them in said water-insoluble organic solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which said finely divided particles of said first solid contain from 1 to 50 moles of water per mole of said oil-soluble surface active agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process as claimed in claim 2 in which said finely divided Fe 3 O 4 particles contain from 1 to 50 moles of water per mole of said oil-soluble surface active agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which said particles have a particle diameter of 1000 Å or less.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
