DEFINITION

Classification: 507/108

Lignin or humate component contains sulfur or is reacted with substance containing sulfur (e.g., lignosulfonate, etc.):

(under subclass 107) Composition wherein the lignin or humate component contains sulfur or has been reacted with a substance containing sulfur (e.g., lignosulf(on)ate, sulfoalkylated humates, such as sulfomethylated quebracho, sulfite liquor, etc.).

(1) Note. Included in this subclass is a humate component containing sulfur or reacted with sulfur which is also grafted onto a polymer or resin.

(2) Note. The final component need not contain sulfur.
