          Application No. 08/115,274                                                  


          with the Brief on September 11, 1995 (Paper no. 14) was                     
          entered for purposes of appeal.  See the advisory action dated              
          November 28, 1995 (Paper no. 15).                                           
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The invention is drawn to a method for making an emulsion              
          by contacting a solid which contains at least one of                        
          tetraethyl lead or bromoethane with a solution having an                    
          appropriate hydrophilic lipophilic balance or HLB value, the                
          solution being present at a sufficient concentration to                     
          emulsify tetraethyl lead and bromoethane.  Thereafter the                   
          emulsion is separated from the solid, and recovered.                        


                                      THE CLAIM                                       
               Claim 1 is illustrative of appellants’ invention and is                
          reproduced below.                                                           

               1.   A method for making an emulsion comprising:                       
               (a) preparing an aqueous surfactant solution,                          
               (b) contacting a solid, which contains at least one of a               
          tetraalkyllead and a bromoethane with an amount of the                      
          solution that has a hydrophile lipophile balance value and                  
          concentration sufficient to form an emulsion comprising at                  
          least one of a tetraalkyllead and a bromoethane,                            

                                          2
