Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An adsorptive separation process for separating normal paraffins from non-normal hydrocarbons wherein the paraffins have from about 10 to about 35 carbon atoms per molecule, using a molecular sieve adsorbent having an effective channel diameter of about 5 angstroms is improved by passing a non-normal hydrocarbon input stream into the adsorption zone at adsorption conditions to promote the selective adsorption of the straight chain hydrocarbon constituents of the feed material in contact with the adsorbent in preference to the lighter straight chain hydrocarbon constituents of the desorbent material also in contact with adsorbent.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 31, 1991 and granted June 29, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 31, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 31, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
