摘要:
The present invention generally relates to methods for reducing the pH of aqueous mixtures with the advantage of preventing formation of deposits and scales on internal surfaces in contact with the aqueous systems. These methods also that the advantages that they reduce pH with less corrosion or metal loss of the internal surface as compared with a conventional strong acid used to reduce the pH in such systems. The methods use an acid composition comprising a salt of a nitrogen base having a fluoro inorganic anion.

The invention provides a method of inhibiting the accumulation of DSP scale in the liquor circuit of Bayer process equipment. The method includes adding one or more particular silane based small molecules to the liquor fluid circuit. These scale inhibitors reduce DSP scale formation and thereby increase fluid throughput, increase the amount of time Bayer process equipment can be operational and reduce the need for expensive and dangerous acid washes of Bayer process equipment. As a result, the invention provides a significant reduction in the total cost of operating a Bayer process.
摘要:
Two intermediates that have known separate efficacy for preventing scales such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and barite (barium sulfate) were discovered to have a synergistic effect for preventing or inhibiting silicate scaling when used together. Each of these intermediates is ineffective at preventing silicate scaling when used alone; however, when used in combination, they have a synergistic benefit. In one non-limiting embodiment the components include a polyamine phosphonate and a lysine tetra(alkylene)phosphonate.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are polymer compositions useful for scale inhibiting applications. The polymer compositions include a plurality of monomers, which include at least one carboxylic acid and a sulfonated acid. The polymer compositions are used in polymer mixtures in water sources for inhibiting scale formation at relatively low dosages.
摘要:
The poly(zwitterion-alt-sulfur dioxide) copolymer includes a structural unit having the structural formula: wherein “n” is the number of repeating units. The copolymer is made by cocyclopolymerizing 3-(N,N-diallyl,N-carboethoxymethylammonio)propanesulfonate with sulfur dioxide to obtain an intermediate polyzwitterion (PZ) copolymer, which is hydrolyzed to form the copolymer. The copolymer may be converted to a poly(electrolyte-zwitterion) by treatment with a base, such as sodium hydroxide.
摘要:
Processes for inhibiting scale produced during wet process phosphoric acid production by adding a scale inhibiting amount of a reagent having at least one amine portion including at least one primary amine, and at least one hydrocarbyl portion having an insolubilizing group attached thereto to at least one stage of a wet process phosphoric acid production process are provided herein.

Formulations of the present invention contain compounds of Formula (I) that are used as Sulfur Scale Inhibition and/or Removal Agents in the treatment of Industrial Water Systems.
摘要:
Scale inhibitor compositions and methods of inhibiting scale formation generally include a tagged scale inhibiting (co)polymer including at least one scale inhibiting moiety and an imidazole moiety. The imidazole moiety fluoresces at a wavelength of about 424 nm and can be used to detect the amount of scale inhibitor present.
摘要:
Alkyl phosphonates prepared from amino acids suitable for use in inhibiting scale. The phosphonates are obtained as reaction mixtures where the level of alkyl phosphonation is deliberately controlled to provide only partial alkyl phosphonation of the amino acid. The resulting alkyl phosphonates exhibit improved environmental properties compared to the fully substituted species, while still exhibiting acceptable efficacy in the control of scale. The compositions possess advantages over existing phosphonates in that they exhibit higher biodegradation by method OECD 306. They also offer lower toxicity to marine life compared to the fully substituted species and are not expected to bioaccumulate.
摘要:
Hydrophobically modified Si-containing polyamines are useful for treating scale in industrial process streams. Preferred hydrophobically modified Si-containing polyamines are particularly useful for treating aluminosilicate scale in difficult-to-treat industrial process streams, such as in the Bayer alumina process streams, nuclear waste streams and kraft paper mill effluent streams.
