Abstract: A process for the production of an aqueous solution containing chlorine dioxide and chlorine, which comprises:(a) feeding to a reaction zone a first reactant stream comprising an aqueous solution containing an alkali metal chlorate and an alkali metal chloride;(b) feeding to said reaction zone a second reaction stream comprising an acid admixture of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid, wherein the weight ratio of said phosphoric acid to said sulfuric acid as expressed as H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 :H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, is from about 1:16 to about 1:3;(c) mixing said first and second reactant streams in said reactant zone; said streams being fed into said reaction zone at rates sufficient to form a reaction product stream comprising an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide and chlorine in said reaction zone; and(d) withdrawing the resulting aqueous reaction product stream from said reaction zone.

Abstract: A method has been devised for removing hexavalent chromium from concentrated aqueous alkali metal chlorate solutions by reacting the solution with a hydrazine compound and separating trivalent chromium compound from the solution. Alkali metal hypohalites may be simultaneously removed from the chlorate solution by reaction with excess hydrazine compound.

Abstract: Corrosion inhibiting compositions are described which contain a hydrazine compound, an organometallic complex and preferably a quinone compound. The organometallic complex is the reaction product of a cobaltous or manganous hydroxide and one or more aromatic ligands containing at least two hydroxy functional groups, or at least one amino and one hydroxy group, in the ortho position with respect to one another. The quinone compound is preferably added to these compositions in order to render the compositions compatible with chelating phosphonate scale control agents. The use of these compositions as oxygen scavengers in corrosive environments is also described.

Abstract: Corrosion inhibiting compositions are described which contain a hydrazine compound, an organometallic complex, and, preferably, a quinone compound. The organometallic complex is the reaction product of a cobaltous or manganous hydroxide and one or more organic ligands selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted and substituted amino derivatives of carboxylic acids and salts thereof. The quinone compound is preferably added to these compositions in order to render them compatible with chelating phosphonate scale control agents. The use of these compositions as oxygen scavengers in corrosive environments is also described.

Abstract: Corrosion inhibiting compositions are described which contain a hydrazine compound, an organometallic complex and a quinone compound. The organometallic complex is the reaction product of a cobaltous, manganous, or cupric inorganic salt and one or more aromatic ligands containing at least two hydroxy or two amino functional groups, or at least one amino and one hydroxy group, in the ortho position with respect to one another. The quinone compound is one which renders the composition compatible with chelating phosphonate scale control agents. The use of these compositions as oxygen scavengers in corrosive environments is also described.
