Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A process for preparing aluminoxanes which comprises mixing a first solution of a trialkyl aluminum compound in a liquid, dry, inert hydrocarbon solvent with a second solution of a liquid, inert, hydrocarbon solvent having water ultrasonically dispersed therein wherein the trialkyl aluminum compound and the water react to produce an aluminoxane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
A process for preparing aluminoxanes which comprises mixing a first solution of a trialkyl aluminum compound in a liquid, dry, inert hydrocarbon solvent with a second solution of a liquid, inert, hydrocarbon solvent having water ultrasonically dispersed therein wherein the trialkyl aluminum compound and the water react to produce an aluminoxane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the alkyl moiety of trialkyl aluminum compound is a C 1 -C 5 alkyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the alkyl moiety is methyl or ethyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of trialkylaluminum to water ranges from about 0.65:1 to about 2:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 4 wherein the molar ratio ranges from about 0.75:1 to about 1.25:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
