  • Patent number: 4853439
    Abstract: A novel, highly water soluble complex of a substantially insoluble organic compound and a solid homopolymer or copolymer of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. The complex exhibits water solubilities in excess of about 25-fold that of the insoluble organic compound. A method for producing the complex is disclosed wherein the polymer and insoluble compound are dissolved in a mutual solvent, allowed to react for a period of time sufficient to form the complex, and then the solvent is removed to produce the dried highly water-soluble complex.

  • Patent number: 4684519
    Abstract: The invention relates to the process for making a highly stable polyvinylpyrrolidone-halogen complex by forming a reaction solution in a diffusion zone containing a 3 to 9 percent aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone and halogen dissolved in an alcohol solution wherein the concentration of alcohol is not less than 40% of the total solutions and wherein a portion of the halogen requirement, up to 35%, may be in the form of hydrogen halide or a salt thereof; reacting the polypyrrolidone and halogen components and forming a water/alcohol azeotrope simultaneously with the corresponding polyvinylpyrrolidone-halogen complex; subjecting the reacted mixture to azeotropic distillation to remove an aqueous alcohol distillate; recycling the distillate to the halogen solubilizing or diffusion zone and subjecting the remaining liquid product solution, containing not more than about 35% solids, to spray drying to recover the polyvinylpyrrolidone/halogen product in the form of a particulate solid wherein each particle i
