The present invention relates to certain compositions and processes useful for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms in water and, in particular, water used for industrial purposes; for example, in the manufacture of paper, in cooling water systems in effluent water treatment, and in secondary recovery petroleum operations. The novel processes and compositions of the present invention are processes or mixtures which show unexpected synergistic activity against microorganisms, including bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria, fungi, and algae, which produce slime in aqueous systems where such slime is objectionable from either an operational or aesthetic point of view. Specifically, the invention is directed to the use of compositions comprising 2-(thio-cyanomethylthio)benzothiazole and 2'-hydroxyethyl 2,3-dibromopropionate or 2'-hydroxyethyl 2-bromoacrylate.

Slime control compositions and methods of using the same

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.

Dialkylamino-N,N-bis(phosphonoalkylene)alkylamines and use in aqueous

This invention is related to liquid polymer compositions and to methods of preparing these compositions which comprise a high molecular weight water-soluble vinyl addition polymer, water, one or more surfactants, and a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol, or water-soluble ethoxylated alcohol, alkylphenol or fatty acid.

Water-soluble dispersions of high molecular water-soluble polymers

Dimethylaminomethylenebis(phosphonic acid) is prepared by reacting dimethylformamide with phosphorous trichloride and treating the reaction mixture with alcohols or glycols and water. The phosphonic acid is combined with water soluble carboxylic acid polymers for use as a corrosion and scale inhibitor in aqueous systems. These compositions may also be combined with phosphorous acid and water soluble zinc salts.

Synergistic compositions for corrosion and scale control

Process for preparing dimethylaminomethylenebis(phosphonic acid)

Cationic, water-soluble, amine-epichlorohydrin polymeric compositions formed by reacting polymeric bis(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) amines with tertiary amines are useful in papermaking processes, in water purification processes, textile manufacturing processes, and for the control of pests such as algae, bacteria and fungi.

Amine-epichlorohydrin polymeric compositions

Pesticidal compositions comprised of alkali-metal salts of hydroxymethyldithiocarbamic acids in aqueous media are stabilized by addition of alkaline material thereto.
