A method for inhibiting silica scale formation which treats aqueous systems with a polymerizable-acid graft copolymer that includes an unsaturated grafting acid and having a percent acid graft of between about 3 wt. % and about 35 wt. %, as well as an alkylene oxide polymer backbone.

Acid grafted EO-PO copolymers as silica scale inhibitors

A method of inhibiting silica and silicate scale formation via treating an aqueous system containing silica with an effective amount of a chelating agent blended with a polymeric dispersant in a weight ratio range from greater than 1.0:0.5 to less than 1.0:3.0, agent to dispersant, including blends in a weight ratio of 1:1. Specifically, the chelating agent is either EDTA or DTPA, while the polymer dispersant is an acid and alkylene oxide derived dispersant.

Inhibition of silica scale using a chelating agent blended with acid and alkylene oxide derived polymer dispersants

A method for inhibiting silica scale formation which treats aqueous systems containing silica with a bottle brush polymer. The bottle brush polymer includes a repeat unit obtained after polymerization of one or more anionic monomers, and a repeat unit obtained after polymerization of one or more polyoxoalkylene-containing monomers. The bottle brush polymer may further include a repeat unit obtained after polymerization of one or more nonionic monomers. The addition of the bottle brush polymer to the aqueous system results in the inhibition of silica scale.

Inhibition of silica scale using bottle brush polymers

The present invention relates to a fluorescently-tagged (co)polymer useful as a scale inhibitor in industrial water systems. Said (co)polymer comprises a (i) reactive fluorescent compound selected from a diazole compound (ii) at least one monoethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, and (iii) optionally, at least one monoethylenically unsaturated acid-free monomer.

Tagged treatment polymers for monitoring antiscalant concentrations in industrial water systems

The present invention relates to a fluorescently-tagged (co)polymer and use thereof useful as a scale inhibitor in industrial water systems. Said (co)polymer comprises a (i) reactive fluorescent compound selected from a benzodiazole compound (ii) at least one monoethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, and (iii) optionally, at least one monoethylenically unsaturated acid-free monomer.
