  • Patent number: 5603862
    Abstract: There disclosed a boiler compound which comprises as the effective components thereof: (A) metabisulfurous acid or metabisulfites; (B) aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or salts thereof represented by the general formula:M.sup.1 OOC--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOM.sup.,wherein M.sup.1 and M.sup.2 are each a hydrogen atom, a sodium atom, a potassium atom or an ammonium group and n is an integer of 1 to 10; and optionally (C) a water-soluble polymer for scale inhibitor. The boiler compound is safe for human health, has excellent stability, can be used as a liquid formulation having anticorrosion activity (activity of eliminating oxygen) or both of anticorrosion activity and antiscale activity and exhibits enhanced anticorrosion activity by increasing concentration of sulfite ion which is an oxygen scavenger.

  • Patent number: 5026523
    Abstract: An anticorrosive for vapor/condensed water systems, which comprises at least one aminodiol represented by the following general formula: ##STR1## (in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represents --H, --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5 or C.sub.3 H.sub.7 ; and n represents an integer of 0 to 2) and the process for inhibiting the corrosion of vapor/condensed water systems, which comprises at least one aminodiol as mentioned above to a boiler feed water at the concentration of 0.1 to 500 mg/l. The aminodiol, when added to feed water, migrates into condensed water in large quantities and inhibits the corrosion of piping systems and boilers in highly effective manner.
