Abstract
Abstract Charge containing dewaxed oil and dewaxing solvent (typically methyl ethyl ketone and toluene) is treated to separate dewaxing solvent by use of a separating elastomer membrane barrier of a polysiloxane which has been cross-linked as with toluene diisocyanate, adipoyl dichloride, a dialkoxy silane, or a diacetoxy silane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
An elastomer membrane, which comprises a non-porous elastomer membrane layer of a polysiloxane which has been cross-linked with, as cross-linking agent, a polyisocyanate, (ii) a poly(carbonyl chloride), or (iii) a silane R 4-a Si(A) a wherein A is --OH, --NH 2 , --OR, or --OOCR, a is 2, 3, or 4, and R is hydrogen or an alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or alkaryl group, in proportions sufficient for providing properties enabling effective separation of dewaxing solvent and dewaxed oil.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
79 words
An elastomer membrane, which comprises a non-porous elastomer membrane layer of a polysiloxane which has been cross-linked with, as cross-linking agent, a polyisocyanate, (ii) a poly(carbonyl chloride), or (iii) a silane R 4-a Si(A) a wherein A is --OH, --NH 2 , --OR, or --OOCR, a is 2, 3, or 4, and R is hydrogen or an alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or alkaryl group, in proportions sufficient for providing properties enabling effective separation of dewaxing solvent and dewaxed oil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane is a cyclic polysiloxane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane is a linear polysiloxane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane is a silanol-terminated linear polysiloxane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words

A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cross-linking agent is a toluene diisocyanate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cross-linking agent is a poly(carbonyl chloride).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
14 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cross-linking agent is adipoyl dichloride.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A membrane as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cross-linking agent is R 4-a Si(A) wherein A is --OR or --OOCR, a is 2, 3, or 4, and R is hydrogen or an alkyl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, or alkaryl group.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
