Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A gel for the separation of useful components from a rhodanate-containing liquid resulting from a detoxification process, the gel being of a cross-linked polymer more than 50 weight % of whose repeating units are selected from 2,3-dioxypropyl (meth)acrylate and 2,3-dioxypropyl (meth)allyl ether moities, the gel having an average particle diameter of more than 10 µ and a water content of from 30 to 150%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
A gel for the separation of useful components from a rhodanate-containing liquid resulting from a detoxification process, the gel being of a cross-linked polymer more than 50 weight % of whose repeating units are selected from 2,3-dioxypropyl (meth)acrylate and 2,3-dioxypropyl (meth)allyl ether moities, the gel having an average particle diameter of more than 10 µ and a water content of from 30 to 150%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A gel according to claim 1 of a cross-linked polymer more than 70 weight % of whose repeating units are selected from said moieties.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
A gel according to claim 1 or 2 having an average particle diameter of from 30 to 150 µ.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
33 words
A method of treating rhodanate-containing liquid from a desulfurization and decyanization process, the method comprising separating the rhodanate component from the liquid by gel filtration using a gel according to any preceding claim.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
25 words
A method according to claium 4 wherein other components eluted from the gel separately from the rhodanate are recycled for use in the desulfurization step.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
25 words
A method according to claium 4 wherein other components eluted from the gel separately from the rhodanate are recycled for use in the desulfurization step.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of separating useful components from a rhodanate-containing detoxification treated liquid, characterised by separateing the rhodanate, by gel filtration, from an aqueous solution containing a rhodanate as the main component and obtained by the desulfurization and decyanization treatment of a gas containing hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide, and by reusing the aqueous solution containing the remaining components as the desulfurization and decyanization treatment liquid.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of separating useful components from a rhodanate-containing detoxification treated liquid, characterised by separateing the rhodanate, by gel filtration, from an aqueous solution containing a rhodanate as the main component and obtained by the desulfurization and decyanization treatment of a gas containing hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide, and by reusing the aqueous solution containing the remaining components as the desulfurization and decyanization treatment liquid.
