    Abstract: Methods of enhancing release of bulk solids from a surface are provided. The methods comprise wetting the surface with a substance comprising water, a fatty acid, an emulsifier, and a carrier oil. The carrier oil may be selected from mineral oil, silicone oil, and combinations thereof. The fatty acid may be tall oil fatty acid. The substance may be formed from diluting a concentrate with water. The substance may be applied to the surface at a dose of from about 0.1 gallons to about 50 gallons of the substance per about 2000 square feet of surface, thereby wetting the surface.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of mitigating scale in phosphoric acid and ammonium phosphate plants. Scale-mitigating compositions of the invention can be added to phosphoric acid before or during the concentration in the evaporator cycle of a phosphoric acid plant. The compositions retard the formation of scale on surfaces in contact with the phosphoric acid, and thus time between cleaning is extended and plant productivity increased. Further, the scale that forms is softer and more easily cleaned from surfaces, reducing non-operation time of the plant and/or evaporator. Methods of mitigating scale formation in phosphoric acid production and phosphoric acid handling plants are disclosed. In the methods, scales accumulate more slowly and are softer, more tractable, and more easily cleaned from surfaces to which they adhere.
