Abstract: A novel amine is provided with improved water dispersibility which is useful to modify the formation of hydrates in streams containing low-boiling hydrocarbons and water.

Abstract: Disclosed are filled oil-in-water asphalt emulsions which remain homogeneous for prolonged periods of time notwithstanding the presence of particulate filler that might be expected to break the emulsions. The emulsions contain asphalt dispersed as the discontinuous phase in an aqueous continuous phase, particulate filler, and one or more amphoteric emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formulas (a) and (b)R.sup.4 --(OC.sub.3 H.sub.6).sub.0-1 --(C(O)NH(CH.sub.2).sub.1-3).sub.0-1 --N(Z.sup.1) (Z.sup.2).sub.0-1 --ZCOOX (a)R.sup.4 --(OC.sub.3 H.sub.6).sub.0-1 (C(O)NH(CH.sub.2).sub.1-3).sub.0-1 --N(Z.sup.1) (Z.sup.2).sub.0-1 --ZSO.sub.3 XH (b)wherein R.sup.4 is C.sub.4-24 alkyl or alkylene, f is 1-6, is --H or a cation, Z is (CH.sub.2).sub.f, CH.sub.2 CHOHCH.sub.2, or CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2, and Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 are C.sub.f H.sub.2f+1 or C.sub.f H.sub.2f OH, or in (a) Z.sup.1 can be --ZCOOX.

Abstract: Disclosed are oil-in-water asphalt emulsions comprising asphalt dispersed as the discontinuous phase in an aqueous continuous phase, the emulsions containing one or more anionic emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formulas (Ia), (Ib), (II), and (III)(R.sup.1 CH(OH)--(CH.sub.2).sub.m SO.sub.3).sub.1 X (Ia)(R.sup.1 CH.dbd.CH(CH.sub.2).sub.m-1 SO.sub.3).sub.1 X (Ib)(R.sup.2 O--(AlkO).sub.c CH.sub.2 COO).sub.1 X (II)((R.sup.3).sub.x --(A)--SO.sub.3).sub.1 X (III)wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are C.sub.6-40 hydrocarbyl, m is 1-10, X is --H or a cation, c is 1-20, A is phenyl or polycyclic aromatic, k is 1-3, and i is the valence of X.
