  • Methods of preventing scaling involving inorganic compositions, and compositions therefor
    Patent number: 6365101
    Abstract: Method for inhibiting scale deposits in an aqueous system. The method may include at least one of adding and forming anti-scalant in the aqueous system such that an amount of anti-scalant in the aqueous system is up to about 1000 ppm, wherein the anti-scalant comprises at least one of polyvalent metal silicate and polyvalent metal carbonate, wherein the aqueous system has a pH of at least about 9, and wherein a mean particle size of the anti-scalant is less than about 3 microns. The method may also include at least one of adding and forming anti-scalant in the aqueous system such that an amount of anti-scalant in the aqueous system is up to about 1000 ppm, wherein the anti-scalant comprises at least one of polyvalent metal silicate and polyvalent metal carbonate, and wherein the aqueous system has a pH of at least about 9; and adding dispersant to the aqueous system.

  • Methods of preventing scaling involving inorganic compositions, and inorganic compositions therefor
    Patent number: 6355214
    Abstract: Method for inhibiting scale deposits in an aqueous system. The method may include adding anti-scalant to the aqueous system such that an amount of anti-scalant in the aqueous system is up to about 500 ppm, wherein the anti-scalant comprises at least one of polyvalent metal silicate and polyvalent metal carbonate, and wherein the aqueous system has a pH of at least about 9. The method may include adding anti-scalant to the aqueous system such that an amount of anti-scalant in the aqueous system is up to about 500 ppm, wherein the anti-scalant comprises at least one of polyvalent metal silicate and polyvalent metal carbonate, in the presence of up to about 0.4 ppm of cationic polymer. The method may include adding anti-scalant to the aqueous system at at least one of before a pulping digester and at a pulping digester, such that an amount of anti-scalant in the aqueous system is up to about 500 ppm, wherein the anti-scalant comprises at least one of polyvalent metal silicate and polyvalent metal carbonate.

  • Polybutene based foam control compositions for aqueous systems
    Patent number: 5229033
    Abstract: A composition to control foam in aqueous systems such as those found in papermaking operations comprising a polybutene and at least one surfactant having a melting or pour point below 20.degree. C. The surfactants include polyethylene glycol esters, sorbitan ester, polyoxyalkylene ester, oleic diethanolamide and block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Due to their low melting point, these surfactants may be blended with the polybutene at room temperature resulting in a foam control composition that is translucent, resistant to deposition and highly effective.
