摘要:
A method of preventing sludge deposition in the treatment of geothermal steam condensate with iron catalyzed/hydrogen peroxide by carrying out the treatment in the presence of an inorganic polyphosphate.
摘要:
A method for preventing the deposition of sulfide and/or sulfate scale during the production of a hot two-phase geothermal fluid which contains hydrogen sulfide, barium heavy and/or transition metals, and at least a critical minimum amount of calcium in solution. Gaseous oxygen is injected into the geothermal fluid at a critical rate to selectively oxidize the hydrogen sulfide to intermediate sulfide oxidation products, such as thiosulfates. Thereafter the geothermal fluid is separated into gaseous and liquid phases. Where iron is present in the geothermal fluid, the degree of turbulence induced during the oxidation step is selectively controlled in order to prevent the deposition of iron pyrites.
摘要:
High sulfate content water is treated in a multistage process to remove sulfate and hardness. Sulfate concentration is reduced in the first stage of the process by addition of calcium hydroxide. Calcium concentration is reduced in the second stage of the process by reaction of carbon dioxide or bicarbonate and calcium and hydroxide ions from the first stage of the process, forming insoluble calcium carbonate.
摘要:
Formation of hard adherent scale deposits of insoluble salts particularly carbonates and sulfates of metals such as calcium or other alkaline earth metals, and/or iron are inhibited, controlled or prevented on, or removed from (a) the walls of evaporators, cooling towers, heat exchangers, boilers and devices where a thermal gradient exists or areas where catalytically active sites induce scale formation in aqueous systems by (b) from about 2/10 to 2,000 parts per million of an aliphatic copolymer of monovinyl compound and a vinyl sulfonate having (c) from about 25 to 75 mol percent of the sulfonate and (d) a molecular weight of about 1,000 to 25,000. The copolymer is useful alone, and in cooperation with corrosion inhibitors, other sequestrants and chelating agents.
摘要:
THE INCORPORATION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF LITHIUM ION INTO A SOLUTION OF A HEAVY METAL SEQUESTERING AGENT OF THE FORMULA:
HO-P(=O)(-OH)-C(-R)(-OH)-P(=O)(-OH)2
WHEREIN R IS A LOWER ALKYL RADICAL HAVING FROM 1 TO 5 CARBON ATOMS, INHIBITS THE FORMATION OF THE WHITE PRECIPITATE CHARACTERISTICALLY PRODUCED WHEN SEQUESTRANTS OF THIS TYPE ARE USED TO SEQUESTER IONS OF HEAVY METALS SUCH AS CALCIUM. ALKALI METAL, AMMONIUM AND ETHANOLAMINE SALTS OF COMPOUNDS OF THE ABOVE FORMULA AND MONO AND DIALKYL ESTERS THEREOF WITH METHANOL, ETHANOL, PROPANOL AND BUTANOL ALSO PROVIDE USEFUL SEQUESTERING AGENTS.
摘要:
Compositions for inhibiting corrosion and scale formation in aqueous systems which consist essentially of from 20 to 97.5% by weight of total composition of (a) a combination of zinc and hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride and (b) 2.5 to 80% by weight of total composition of a corrosion inhibitor, particularly benzotriazole.
摘要:
A pipe cleaning composition containing hydrochloric acid, furfural, dialkylthiourea, benzyl thiocyanate and water has a reduced tendency to attack steel or copper pipe.
