Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A novel ion exchange material having both cation exchange and anion exchange properties comprising a floc of beads of one or more cation exchange resins and beads of one or more anion exchange resins in a weight ratio of from about 9:1 to about 1:9 cation resin to anion resin, cohered by electrostatic attraction, the beads of each resin being approximately spherical beads of crosslinked copolymer having diameters within the range from about 0.01 to about 1.5 micrometers and bearing from about 0.7 to about 1.5 ion exchange functional groups per monomer unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A novel ion exchange material having both cation exchange and anion exchange properties comprising a floc of beads of one or more cation exchange resins and beads of one or more anion exchange resins in a weight ratio of from about 9:1 to about 1:9 cation resin to anion resin, cohered by electrostatic attraction, the beads of each resin being approximately spherical beads of crosslinked copolymer having diameters within the range from about 0.01 to about 1.5 micrometers and bearing from about 0.7 to about 1.5 ion exchange functional groups per monomer unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The ion exchange material of claim 1 wherein the functionality of the cation exchange resin beads is strongly acidic and the functionality of the anion exchange resin beads is strongly basic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The ion exchange material of claim 1 wherein the functionality of the cation exchange resin beads is strongly acidic and the functionality of the anion exchange resin beads is weakly basic.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The ion exchange material of claim 1 wherein the functionality of the cation exchange resin beads is weakly acidic and the functionality of the anion exchange resin beads is strongly basic.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
