Processes for inhibiting scale produced during wet process phosphoric acid production by adding a scale inhibiting amount of a reagent having at least one amine portion including at least one primary amine, and at least one hydrocarbyl portion having an insolubilizing group attached thereto to at least one stage of a wet process phosphoric acid production process are provided herein.

Modified amines useful as scale inhibitors in wet process phosphoric acid production

Processes for inhibiting scale produced during wet process phosphoric acid production by adding a scale-inhibiting amount of a reagent having a primary amine-containing polymer to at least one stage of a wet process phosphoric acid production process are provided herein, wherein said primary amine-containing polymer includes one or more organic moieties that reduce the polymer's solubility in an aqueous environment as compared to its native form, thereby reducing or preventing scale in the wet process phosphoric acid production process.

Primary amine-containing polymers useful as scale inhibitors

Processes for inhibiting scale produced during wet process phosphoric acid production by adding a scale-inhibiting amount of a reagent having a primary amine-containing polymer, or salt thereof, to one or more stages of a wet process phosphoric acid production stream are provided herein, wherein the primary amine-containing polymer includes an A mer according to Formula (I):
