Abstract: A method for reducing aggregate material carry back in aggregate material hauling equipment includes applying an effective amount of an anti-sticking and anti-icing agent to hauling surfaces of the aggregate material hauling equipment that will subsequently be in contact with the aggregate material to be hauled. The method includes initiating loading of the aggregate material into the aggregate material hauling equipment while the hauling surfaces of the hauling equipment remain wet from the applying of the anti-sticking and anti-icing agent. This ensures wetting of the aggregate material at the interface with the hauling surface to provide improved anti-sticking and anti-icing action.

Abstract: A dust suppression composition includes a combination of a crusting agent, a dust suppression agent and a carrier. A method of suppressing dust of an aggregate material includes the step of contacting aggregate material with an effective amount of that dust suppression composition.

Abstract: A composition for deicing or inhibiting formation of ice includes waste material from a fermentation process for producing an amino acid from a carbohydrate source, and at least some second anti-freezing and deicing agent or a carrier. The active agent is waste material from a fermentation process for producing an amino acid from a carbohydrate source. The carrier may be water. A method for deicing an icy surface includes applying to that surface an effective amount of waste material from a fermentation process for producing an amino acid from a carbohydrate source.

Abstract: Three novel types of release agents comprising waste products of several useful product-making processes well known in the art are disclosed. The first type of release agent is comprised of desugared sugar beet molasses, which is a waste product in the process of removing sugar from sugar beet molasses. The second type of release agent is sugar cane molasses. The third type of agent is a class of compositions comprising steepwater, brewers condensed solubles and distillers solubles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a deicing/anti-icing composition that includes sugar cane molasses solids and a deicing component, which preferably is a chloride salt. The composition may be applied to surfaces to remove ice or snow therefrom, or to inhibit the accumulation of ice and snow thereon. The sugar can molasses solids may be sprayed onto the salt as the salt is being applied to a road surface from a moving vehicle. Alternately, the sugar cane molasses solid may be applied to body of salt to inhibit ice formation at or near the surface of the body of salt.

Abstract: A composition is proposed for use in preventing the formation of ice or snow on outdoor surfaces, such as roadways or aggregate stockpiles, and also for deicing surfaces upon which snow or ice has formed. The composition is formed from a waste product of the process of removing sugar from molasses, also known as desugared molasses. As a byproduct of a widely used process for making edible sugar, the desugared molasses is readily available at a low cost. Moreover, the composition is ready for use in conventional spraying equipment without the need for mixing agents, is environmentally friendly, and is able to perform at temperatures well below the freezing point of water. The composition is also non-corrosive and can be admixed with chloride salts, such as magnesium, calcium, or sodium chloride, to reduce the corrosiveness of the resulting solution while still providing effective deicing activity.
