Abstract: The present invention provides supported peroxides, and a method of forming supported peroxides. Supported peroxides according to the invention are solid particles that include an organic peroxide and a metallic soap. In accordance with the method of the invention, supported peroxides are preferably formed by dispersing a mixture that includes at least one peroxide and at least one C4 to C30 carboxylic acid into an aqueous solution that includes a compound that is capable of reacting with the C4 to C30 carboxylic acid to form a water soluble soap. Dispersing the mixture into the aqueous solution results in the formation of an emulsion. A polyvalent metal compound that is capable of reacting with the water soluble soap to form a water insoluble metallic soap is then added to the emulsion, which converts the water soluble soap into a water insoluble metallic soap that precipitates from the solution. The organic peroxide is entrained within the precipitate.

Dispersing the mixture into the aqueous solution results in the formation of an emulsion. Polymer is then added to the emulsion, and forms a polymer suspension. A polyvalent metal compound that is capable of reacting with the water soluble soap to form a water insoluble metallic soap is then added to the polymer suspension, which converts the water soluble soap into a water insoluble metallic soap that precipitates from the suspension.

Abstract: A lubricant additive suitable for combination with an aqueous-based paper or paper board coating mixture wherein the lubricant additive is selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyalkylene mono- and di-ester of phosphoric acid, a polyoxyalkylene mono- and di-ester of a phosphoric acid salt, and a mixture thereof.

Abstract: A process for producing a low sulfate organic sulfonate/sulfate aqueous solution from a soluble sulfate containing organic sulfonate/sulfate which comprises forming an aqueous solution of organic sulfonate/sulfate; and passing the aqueous solution of the organic sulfonate/sulfate containing the soluble sulfate over a nanofiltration zone at an elevated pressure to form a retentate with a reduced sulfate content and a permeate containing the soluble sulfate and organic material.

Abstract: Compositions and methods relating to cementitious compositions are provided. The addition of an amidoamine that is the reaction product of polyalkylenepolyamines and short-chain alkanedioic acids or reactive derivatives thereof to cementitious compositions has been found useful in inhibiting the corrosion of ferrous metal articles in contact with said composition. The amidoamine is advantageously employed in combination with a hydrophobe compound that enhances corrosion inhibition. The invention also provides aqueous emulsions which contain the amidoamine, one or more hydrophobes, and an emulsifier for the hydrophobe.
