Abstract: Disclosed are methods for inhibiting corrosion of metals in contact with heated water or heated aqueous solutions during, for example, food and beverage packaging operations including, for example, cooking, pasteurization and/or sterilization through the use of one or more stannous salts and/or reducing agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new method for the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide from a solution of sodium chlorite and carbon dioxide. The present invention produces effective levels of chlorine dioxide without having to resort to the use of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, sulfur dioxide, or methanol. By eliminating the use of toxic and/or hazardous compounds, the present invention provides a safer means for generating and using chlorine dioxide in a wider variety of applications than previously possible. For instance, the present invention can easily be adapted for the treatment of combustion exhaust gases, flue gases, cooling towers, chilled water systems, contaminated groundwater, and agricultural produce or products.

Abstract: A composition and an improved method for treating aqueous systems to prevent the accumulation of mineral scale and corrosion which comprises adding to the aqueous system a treatment solution comprising 2 phosphonobutane 1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid and a quad-polymer that includes four discrete monomers (specifically allyloxybenzenesulfonic acid, methallyl sulfonic acid, a copolymerizable non-ionic monomer and an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer). The composition and method allow the use of higher cycles of concentration, including aqueous systems having calcite saturation indices (CSI) of more than 200, while inhibiting the formation of calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, magnesium silicate, and iron scales.
