Granted: 1907-03-02
Abstract: 5169. Laureau, J. H. March 2. Sucrates.-Relates to the treatment of marine plants for the extraction of chemical, mineral, and organic matters, which consist mainly of iodine, gelatinous matters such as fucose, and cellulose. The fresh plants are first treated with crude or refined hydrocarbons, or their derivatives, such as petroleum, tar, heavy oils, schist oils, resin oils, crude or sublimed naphthalene, phenol, picric acid, lysol, cresol, creosote, with or without the addition of formaldehyde. The invention is distinguished from that described in Specification No. 20,356, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Indiarubber &c.], in that no water is used with the oils. The saline matters are extracted from the treated plants by fresh, sea, lime, or acidulated water. Fucose is extracted as a fucosate from the exhausted plants and their saline matters by treatment with hot or cold alkaline carbonates, or caustic alkalies such as potash, soda, or ammonia, a residue of cellulose remaining. On treatment with organic acids, fucose which is insoluble in water but soluble in alkalies, alkaline borates, and silicates is formed. As a modification the hydrocarbonated marine plants may be first extracted with alkalies or alkali carbonates and iodine extracted from the solutions obtained after the fucose and gum have been separated out. Formaldehyde may be used to preserve the hydrocarbonated plants as well as the extracts and residues.
