Abstract: Corrosion is inhibited in hydrochloric acid solutions used to acidize wells, by adding to the solutions a corrosion inhibiting composition comprising cinnamaldehyde or a substituted cinnamaldehyde together with a reaction product of a C.sub.3-6 ketone such as acetophenone, thiourea or a related compound, formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid.

Abstract: Copolymers of an acrylic compound and a polymerizable quaternary ammonium compound are useful as flotation-aids for removing oils and/or solid materials from aqueous systems. The polymerizable quaternary ammonium compounds are 1-alkoxy-2-hydroxy propyl quaternaries of N-(N'N'-dialkylaminoalkyl)acrylamides.

Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsions are resolved by contacting the emulsion with a polymer of vinyl phenol or a salt thereof. The polymers may be made by hydrolyzing polyacetoxystyrene.

Abstract: This invention relates to adducts of salts of polymerizable tertiary amines with acrylic compounds illustrated by acrylamide and acrylonitrile; to polymers and copolymers containing said adducts and to processes for preparing them. This invention also relates to the use of said polymers and copolymers, particularly in the clarification of turbid waters by flocculation or flotation of oil and/or suspended solids. In the preferred embodiment, the quaternary adduct monomer is: ##STR1## where X is an anion, preferably halide such as chloride or carboxylate such as acetate; and polymers and copolymers containing units thereof.

Abstract: Cyclic phenol-aldehyde resins, for example cyclic tetramers; derivatives thereof; processes by which they are prepared; and uses thereof.

Abstract: Oxyalkylated cyclic phenol-aldehyde resins for example oxyalkylated cyclic tetramers; processes by which they are prepared; and method of using said oxyalkylated resins for a wide variety of uses, particularly as demulsifiers for water-in-oil type emulsions. Although oxyalkylated products are preferred, analogous products can also be prepared from alkylene sulfides, alkylene imines, or mixtures of more than one of these alkylene oxides, sulfides, or imines.
