  • Methods for fumigating soil
    Patent number: 6294584
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods for fumigating soil containing deleterious organisms such as nematodes. The methods utilize an effective amount of acrolein over sole demand for acrolein which when added to the soil will control the organisms but will not exhibit phytotoxicity towards the existing or future plant life.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 29, 1999
    Date of Patent: September 25, 2001
    Assignee: Betzdearborn Inc.
    Inventors: Edmund J. Bockowski, Dwight P. Davis
  • Methods for fumigating soil using acrolein
    Patent number: 5866614
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods for fumigating soil containing deleterious organisms such as nematodes. The methods utilize an effective amount of acrolein which when added to the soil will control the organisms but will not exhibit phytotoxicity towards the existing or future plant life and an effective amount of a detoxification compound such as for example: sulfites, bisulfites, ammonia or ammonium compounds.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods for inhibiting the corrosion and deposition of iron and iron-containing metals in aqueous systems
    Patent number: 5342548
    Abstract: Methods are provided for inhibiting the corrosion of iron and iron-containing methods in contact with aqueous systems. Trisodium salt of 2,4,6-trimercapto-5-triazine is added to cooling water systems to inhibit the corrosion of these metal surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 1993
    Date of Patent: August 30, 1994
    Assignee: Betz Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: William J. Yorke, Edmund J. Bockowski
  • Method of detection using sensor electrode
    Patent number: 5271819
    Abstract: A sensor electrode and method for detecting select characteristic in a liquid. The method utilizes filters and adsorbent materials to selectively remove contaminants in the liquid. The improvement comprises back flushing the filters and adsorbent material, once they become saturated, with specific solutions to wash away the select contaminants.
    Type: Grant

    Inventor: Edmund J. Bockowski
  • Biological & dust control methods for bulk/granular solids
    Patent number: 5256419
    Abstract: A foam carrier for a dust control agent and a pesticidal material is provided to control fugitive dust dissemination and biological activity in bulk/granular solids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 1993
    Date of Patent: October 26, 1993
    Assignee: Betz Laboratories, Inc.

  • Methods for inhibiting the production of acid in acid mine waters
    Patent number: 5171454
    Abstract: Methods are provided for inhibiting the production of acid in acid mine waters by controlling the growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in the mine waters by adding an effective amount of acrolein. This will reduce acid mine drainage to other aqueous systems. The methods comprise adding from about 0.1 to about 10 parts acrolein per million parts of the mine water for which acid production inhibition is sought.

  • Method of generating acrolein
    Patent number: 5079266
    Abstract: This invention relates to the generation of acrolein from an acetal of acrolein via exposure to a sulfonic acid reusable catalytic material. The acrolein acetals have the following general structures; ##STR1## where R may or may not be equal to R' and R/R' is an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbons; and ##STR2## where R is a cyclic diol derived from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerol hexoses or polysaccharides.
