Abstract: A chemical composition for use in degassing of vessels is taught, said chemical composition including 1-10% by weight of an oxyalkylated dodecyl thiol; and 1-20% by weight of an alkyl di-substituted 9-decenamide. A method is further provided for degassing a vessel. The method includes charging said vessel with chemical composition and a carrier medium, wherein said chemical composition comprises 1-10% by weight of an oxyalkylated dodecyl thiol and 1-20% by weight of an alkyl di-substituted 9-decenamide.
Abstract: A composition is provided for chemically liquefying and dispersing heavy organic solids in hydrocarbon streams. The composition comprises oxyalkylated tertiary dodecyl mercaptan; alkylaryl sulfonic acid or its representative salts; alkyl di-substituted 9-decenamide; and a hydrocarbon distillate.

Abstract: A composition is provided for the treatment of scaling and deposits due to naturally occurring radioactive material, said composition comprising one or more extractants that preferentially attract radioactive isotopes over other forms of alkaline earth cations A composition is further provided wherein said composition forms a polydentate ligand with one or more metals to act as carriers for radioactive elements. The composition comprises components that enhance stabilization of coordination complexation of the radioactive isotopes in the formation of polydentate ligands.
