Abstract: A composition and method for inhibiting the deposition of white pitch on the surfaces of papermaking equipment during the processing of recycled coated broke. The process involves adding to the coated broke during repulping a composition having a first compound of a tetrafunctional alkoxylated diamine having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not the same, and a second compound selected from the group consisting of a phosphate, phosphonate and phosphonic acid.

Abstract: Methods of controlling the formation of calcium oxalate in aqueous systems are disclosed. The methods comprise adding from about 0.1 to 500 ppm of a water soluble (meth)acrylic acid/allyl ether copolymer to the desired water system. The methods are especially well adapted for use in pulping and paper making systems wherein calcium oxalate is often encountered as a troublesome scale forming compound.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for inhibiting white pitch deposition in felts of a papermaking system including adding to the felts an effective inhibiting amount of an organic, anionic polyelectrolyte. The molecular weight of the polyelectrolyte is preferably from about 1,000 to 100,000. The polyelectrolyte is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polmethacrylic acid, acrylic acid/polyethylene glycol allyl ether copolymers, methacrylic acid/polyethylene glycol allyl ether copolymers, acrylic acid/1-allyloxy-2-hydroxypropane sulfonic acid copolymers. The use of these polyelectrolytes in combination with surfactants provides an especially effective white pitch inhibiting and total felt conditioning process when applied to the felt.
