[Also in Division C3] Water evaporation from an aqueous surface in contact with the atmosphere is retarded by dispersing organosilicon compounds (see Specification for comprehesive lists) on the surface. The aqueous surface may be that in an open tank, ditch, trough, pan, kettle, bowl, barrel, dish, closed vessel with drying atmosphere passing through it, pond, lake or a reservoir. The amount of compound dispersed affects the rate of evaporation.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR ACCELERATING WATER EVAPORATION IS DISCLOSED IN WHICH AN AQUEOUS SURFACE IS TREATED WITH AN ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND. AN AQUEOUS SURFACE HAVING AN ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND ON THE SURFACE IS ALSO DISCLOSED. AN EXAMPLE OF THE ORGANOSILICON COMPOUND IS
Abstract:
ALKYLDIPHENYLACETOXYSILANES AND ALKYLDIPHENYLMETHOXYSILANES IN WHICH THE ALKYL GROUP HAS FROM 12 TO 45 INCLUSIVE CARBON ATOMS ARE DISCLOSED. THE ALKYLDIPHENYLSILANES ARE USEFUL AS EVAPORATION RETARDANTS.
