Abstract:
A method and composition for processing natural water such as seawater, brackish, and estuarine water wherein the water is concentrated with or without heating comprising adding to the water (I) a water-soluble polymeric phosphonate and (II) a water-soluble polycarboxylate to control scale formation and deposition. Optionally a water -soluble poly[isopropenylphosphonic acid] can also be utilized as component (I) without the addition of component (II).

US Classification:
209/500000
Abstract:
A method of enhancing the magnetic separation of ores is disclosed in which a sulfonated polymeric dispersant is added to an ore slurry just prior to or during the magnetic separation operation. The sulfonated polymeric additive inhibits heterogeneous flocculation during the magnetic separation operation.

Abstract:
A method of decreasing the viscosity of a mineral ore slurry is disclosed. The method comprises adding to a mineral ore slurry a viscosity modifying treatment such as copolymers of maleic anhydride and diisobutylene; copolymers of acrylic acid and allyl hydroxypropyl sulfonate ether, terpolymers of acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methypropane sulphonic acid salt and t-butyl acrylamide; copolymers of acrylic acid and polyethyleneglycol monoallyl ether sulfate; and copolymers of acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methypropane sulphonic acid salt; pentaphosphonates; polymethacrylates; and mixtures thereof to the mineral ore slurry.

General Electric Company - Fairfield CT
International Classification:
C21B007/06
US Classification:
075/301000
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for inhibiting corrosion of metal surfaces in a furnace system are disclosed. In one aspect of the invention, pulverized coal is burned as fuel in the presence of a copper ion catalyst/combustion aid. Corrosion is inhibited in these systems by the use of a blend of primary aminoalcohol such as 2-aminoethanol, tertiary aminoalcohol such as triethanol amine, and boric acid or water soluble salt form of the acid.

International Classification:
C08G 6302 C02F 510
US Classification:
528272
Abstract:
A method and compounds for inhibiting the formation of scale is disclosed. The method is particularly effective at inhibiting the formation and deposition of calcium scales in circulating aqueous systems such as cooling water systems. The method comprises introducing into the aqueous system a compound of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, substituted alkyl or substituted aryl; R' and R" are each independently hydrogen, C. sub. 1-4 alkyl or C. sub. 1-4 substituted alkyl; Z is 0, S, NH, or NR, where R is as described above; n is a positive integer greater than 1; f is a positive integer; and M is hydrogen, a water soluble cation (e. g. , NH. sub. 4. sup. +, alkali metal) or a C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 3 alkyl group.
