Abstract: Zwitterionic diazonium salts, derived from aromatic amines, are aggregated by: (a) diazotizing said amine to a zwitterionic diazonium salt in the presence of a cationic surfactant or (b) diazotizing said amine and thereafter treating the resulting zwitterionic diazonium salt with a cationic surfactant, so as to give particles of the diazonium salts which are readily separable from the liquid mass in which they are formed.

Abstract: Laundry detergent compositions containing no phosphate or low levels of phosphate materials and specific mixtures of selected nonionic surfactants and selected cationic surfactants are disclosed. The nonionic/cationic surfactant mixtures are formulated to have "cloud point" characteristics and, preferably, reduced cationic monomer concentrations as defined herein. These compositions are unusually effective in removing greasy and oily soils and body soils from fabrics; they are also effective in the removal of particulate soils. A process is disclosed for laundering fabrics using compositions containing nonionic surfactants and cationic surfactants.

Abstract: Dialkylamino-N,N-bis(phosphonoalkylene)alkylamines, salts, and specifically the hydrochlorides thereof prepared by reacting an unsymmetrical dimethylaminoalkylamine hydrochloride with phosphorous acid and an aldehyde are useful in various industrial processes including acting as corrosion and scale inhibitors in aqueous systems wherein such corrosion and scale problems exist. Quaternized dialkylamino-N,N-bis(phosphonoalkylene)alkylamines suitable for the same uses are prepared by the treatment of an aqueous solution of a dialkylamine-N,N-bis(phosphonoalkylene)alkylamine with an epoxide or a halohydrin.
