Abstract: Copolymers of an acrylic compound and a polymerizable quaternary ammonium compound are useful as flotation-aids for removing oils and/or solid materials from aqueous systems. The polymerizable quaternary ammonium compounds are 1-alkoxy-2-hydroxy propyl quaternaries of N-(N'N'-dialkylaminoalkyl)acrylamides.

Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsions are resolved by contacting the emulsion with a polymer of vinyl phenol or a salt thereof. The polymers may be made by hydrolyzing polyacetoxystyrene.

Abstract: A composition comprising the reaction product resulting from subjecting to grafting and esterification reaction conditions a mixture comprising a polyoxyalkylene amine and a vinyl monomer. The mixture is substantially free of copolymers derived from a polyoxyalkylene glycol and a diglycidyl ether, and the reaction product is partially cross-linked. Methods of use and preparation of such compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to N,N-diallyl-3-hydroxy azetidinium salts, homo- and co-polymers thereof; and the preparation thereof.This invention also relates to the use of the above polymers as demulsifiers.

Abstract: Novel demulsifier compositions, their method of preparation and use as demulsifiers are described. The novel demulsifiers comprise the partially condensed reaction product of a blend of at least two oxyalkylated materials with a vinyl monomer. The demulsifiers are useful in the resolution of water-in-oil emulsions.

Abstract: This invention relates to vinyl-type interpolymers having an overall carbon/oxygen atom ratio of about 2 to about 4, which is preferably derived from 2 types of vinyl monomers:(1) at least one vinyl-type monomer present in the interpolymer at about 50 mole % or greater and having a carbon/oxygen atom ratio of about 3 or less ("hydrophilic" monomer), and(2) at least one vinyl-type monomer present in the interpolymer at about 50 mole % or less and having a carbon/oxygen atom ratio of about 3 or more ("hydrophobic" monomer).Typical examples are vinyl acetate/vinyl fatty ester copolymers and vinyl acetate/dialkyl maleate copolymers. This invention also relates to uses for these compositions, particularly in the demulsification of W/O emulsions.

Abstract: This invention relates to an exothermic emulsion polymerization method characterized by the presence of a low boiling fluid as a component of one of the phases of the emulsion system, said low boiling fluid having the following characteristics:(1) It is sufficiently inert so that it does not interfere with the polymerization reaction(2) It is capable of maintaining by reflux the polymerization system at relatively even and homogeneous temperature.This is exemplified by the use of a halogenated hydrocarbon boiling below about 50.degree. C. as the low boiling fluid.

Abstract: This invention relates to adducts of salts of polymerizable tertiary amines with acrylic compounds illustrated by acrylamide and acrylonitrile; to polymers and copolymers containing said adducts and to processes for preparing them.

Abstract: Oxyalkylated cyclic phenol-aldehyde resins for example oxyalkylated cyclic tetramers; processes by which they are prepared; and method of using said oxyalkylated resins for a wide variety of uses, particularly as demulsifiers for water-in-oil type emulsions. Although oxyalkylated products are preferred, analogous products can also be prepared from alkylene sulfides, alkylene imines, or mixtures of more than one of these alkylene oxides, sulfides, or imines.
