Patent number: 10323112Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for making and using fluorescent monomers which are synthesized by reacting a substituted or non-substituted benzoxanthene anhydride with an amine and with a moiety containing a polymerizable group. Such monomers are useful for the preparation of tagged treatment polymers. Such tagged treatment polymers are useful as scale inhibitors in industrial water systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: Jeffery M. Atkins, Barbara E. Moriarty, Paul J. Zinn

Patent number: 9328003Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for separating metals from a liquid medium, the method uses a copolymer derived from at least two monomers: acrylic-x and an alkylamine, wherein said polymer is modified to contain a functional group capable of scavenging one or more compositions containing one or more metals are disclosed. The treated liquid is then passed through a filtration system. The scavenging effect of the combination of the treatment with the filtration is unexpectedly greater than the sum of its parts.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Nalco CompanyInventors: Deepak A. Musale, Daniel E. Schwarz, Paul J. Zinn, Bruce A. Keiser, Jitendra T. Shah

Patent number: 8927637Abstract: A polymer, a composition, and uses for either are disclosed. The polymer is derived from at least two monomers: acrylic-x and an alkylamine, and has attached to the polymer backbone a functional group capable of scavenging at least one metal. The polymer has a polymer backbone with a fluorescing quantity of conjugated double bonds, thereby providing a method for controlling metal scavenging via fluorescence. These polymers have many uses in various media, including wastewater systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Nalco CompanyInventors: Paul J. Zinn, Winston Su, Rebecca L. Stiles, Darlington Mlambo

Patent number: 8753599Abstract: A method and composition for the reduction of the emission of selenium into the environment from the burning of fossil fuels with the use of two chemistries, either individually or in combination with each other. The method uses polydithiocarbamic compounds, including polydithiocarbamic compounds derived from a polymer produced from acrylic-x and alkylamine in conjunction with a scrubber process to capture selenium and reduce its emission in aqueous phase blowdown. The method and composition also helps reduce corrosion in the scrubber process.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Nalco CompanyInventors: Bruce A. Keiser, Jitendra T. Shah, John V. Meier, Paul J. Zinn, Jianwei Yuan, Raul Espinosa, Rebecca L. Stiles, Richard Mimna, Wayne M. Carlson
