DEFINITION

Classification: 502/24

Including intended dissolution or precipitation of a substantial amount of an ingredient of the ultimate composition:

(under subclass 22) Process in which an essential component of the composition is (1) dissolved in a solvent or by reaction, or (2) caused to come out of solution in a solid phase, permitting separation from reaction products and/or extraneous material or providing such component in an effective form.

(1) Note. The subject matter of this subclass requires an intentional dissolution of a component of the composition and does not include incidental etching of an active material during an acid treating to clean the metal surface.

(2) Note. A process in which additional active material may be added by precipitation is not proper for this subclass. The material precipitated must have been present in the original catalyst composition, though possibly in a different form.
