  • Patent number: 4116713
    Abstract: A thickened acid cleaner concentrate composition comprising an inorganic acid, e.g., hydrochloric, an organic acid, e.g., oxalic, a nonionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a flocculating agent such as iron or aluminum ion and water is used to clean vehicles such as railroad equipment. The waste water is then treated by increasing its pH to cause flocculation and separation to remove suspended solids and entrained BOD prior to discharge or re-use within the plant. The flocculating agent in the composition provides a proportional pretreatment of the waste to facilitate the final treatment and separation of waste in the used composition.

  • Patent number: 4007305
    Abstract: Textile materials are treated with an alkaline aqueous medium having a pH value of 7.5-11 and containing 0.25-4% by weight of a dissolved water soluble hydrophilic soil release polymer having carboxylic acid groups and 0.05-1% by weight of a dispersed hydrophobic soil repellent fluorochemical. The soil release polymer and the soil repellent fluorochemical are deposited on the surfaces of the textile fibers and the resulting textile material is dried to impart the desired nondurable soil release and soil repellency properties. The aqueous medium also may contain polyvinylpyrrolidone to further improve the finish. In a preferred variant, the textile material is first contacted with an alkaline aqueous solution of the soil release polymer, and thereafter with an alkaline aqueous medium containing the dispersed soil repellent fluorochemical to reduce the tendency of the deposited soil release polymer to cover the deposited soil repellent fluorochemical molecules.
