Patent number: 11781056Abstract: A slurry composition that includes (A) a solvent, (B) a suspension aid, (D) an alkoxylated fatty amine, (E) an active ingredient, and optionally (C) a polar activator. The slurry composition may be formulated with up to 75 wt. % of the active ingredient (E), based on a total weight of the slurry composition, and remain as a pumpable and stable suspension. A concentrated slurry base is also disclosed which includes the solvent (A), the suspension aid (B), the polar activator (C), and the alkoxylated fatty amine (D), all being present at a higher concentration in the concentrated slurry base than a slurry composition made therefrom. A method of treating a subterranean formation is also disclosed, whereby the slurry composition is mixed with an aqueous fluid to form a treatment fluid, and the treatment fluid is introduced through a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: KAO SPECIALTIES AMERICAS LLCInventors: Mohand Melbouci, Andrew Hughes, Terry Singleton, Glenn Hall, Samuel John Thompson

Patent number: 6544383Abstract: The removal of inks from a pulp fiber slurry is accomplished by use of a combination of (1) a polyester obtained through reaction between di and/or tricarboxylic acids and/or anhydrides thereof and a polyalkylene glycol or one or more alkylene oxides, (2) a first deinking agent which is an alkoxylated hydrophobic base, e.g. an alcohol, amine, acid, dimer acid, salts thereof, or the like, and (3) a second deinking agent which is a second alkoxylated hydrophobic base having a cloud point about 2 to 20° lower than the cloud point of the first deinking agent. Use of the three component combination allows an improved foam profile allowing longer continuous operation or one or more of a reduction in total chemical demand, optical bleach demand, and stickies.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2001Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: KAO Specialties AmericasInventors: Peter Robinson, Hugh Lavery
