Appeal No. 96-0797 Application No. 08/089,962 7. Backtitrate with O.125N NaOH to a blue-green end point. If less than 5 ml NaOH are used, start over using 5 more ml H SO in step 3. 2 4 If more than 10 ml NaOH are used, start over using 5 less ml H SO in step 3. 2 4 The concentration of limestone (CaCO ), calcium hydroxide 3 (Ca(OH) ), and calcium sulfite (CaSO .1/2H 0) are 2 3 2 determined by the following calculations: 8. gm/1 CaCO = – (ml H SO x N H SO )-(ml NaOH x N NaOH) • 503 24 2 4 ______________________________________ ml sample 9. gm/1 Ca(OH) = – (ml H SO x N H SO )-(ml NaOH x N NaOH • 372 2 4 2 4 ____________________________________ ml sample 10. gm/1 CaSO 1/2H O = (ml KIO X N KIO ). 3 2 3 3 __________________ 64.5 ml sample Relying on the above teachings, the examiner concludes that it would have been obvious to use the above "Modified Palmrose analysis with an autotitrator ... as an alternative on-line monitor of the oxidation loss for [the] flue gas desulfurization system" taught by Jankura since Jankura’s PH monitoring system is said to be equivalent to the Modified Palmrose Analysis for the purpose of monitoring the oxidation loss in the flue gas desulfurization system.
