The present invention generally relates to a method for separating solids from liquid in a slurry comprising solids and a liquid (e.g., an aqueous solution). More specifically, the method comprises contacting an effective amount of a high molecular weight polymeric flocculant with the slurry in a tanker truck or as the slurry is flowing to the truck, allowing the solids to settle during a settling time whereby the solids settle to the bottom of the tanker truck, and the liquid is removed from the tanker truck at a level above the settled solids. The high molecular weight polymeric flocculant can comprise repeat units derived from a cationic monomer, an anionic monomer, a nonionic monomer, or a combination thereof.

Use of polyelectrolytes for the remediation of solids from oil field separation

Anticorrosion compounds and compositions can be used in methods for preventing metal corrosion. More specifically, the method comprises contacting an anticorrosion composition to an aqueous system in contact with a metal. The anticorrosion composition comprises substituted and/or hydrogenated benzotriazoles and tolyltriazoles.

Azole derivatives for corrosion mitigation

Methods for dispersing foulants are disclosed herein. Various effective dispersant compositions are also disclosed. The dispersant composition can include a silt dispersant and a hydrocarbon dispersant. Generally, the silt dispersant can be a homopolymer or a copolymer of one or more monomers, and the monomers can be one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, &#x3b1;-halo acrylic acid, maleic acid, itaconic acid, vinyl acetic acid, allyl acetic acid, fumaric acid, &#x3b2;-carboxylic acrylate, and their salts. The silt dispersant can also be a terpolymer of acrylic acid, acrylamide, and sulfonated acrylamide. The hydrocarbon dispersant can be a non-ionic surfactant or a nonylphenol or a nonylphenol ethoxylate, such as a high EO 9 Nonyl phenol resin. Also disclosed are methods for preventing or reducing fouling in equipment that contacts water used during a hydrocarbon production process.

Fouling mitigation in equipment used during hydrocarbon production

The present invention generally relates to methods for increasing recovery of crude oil from a subterranean hydrocarbon-containing formation and for removing or inhibiting deposits in a well, the methods comprising contacting an acid composition that comprises a salt of a nitrogen base having a fluoro inorganic anion with the well or the formation.

Fluoro-inorganics for well cleaning and rejuvenation

Provided herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising vitamin C and chromium-free vitamin K, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s). Also provided herein is a chromium-free pharmaceutical composition comprising vitamin C and vitamin K, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s). Further provided herein is a method of treating, preventing, or managing an NF&#x3ba;B-mediated condition, disorder, or disease, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of vitamin C and chromium-free vitamin K. Provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a polycystic disease in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of vitamins C and K.

Vitamins C and K for treating polycystic diseases

Provided herein is a method of treating, preventing, or managing osteolysis in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of vitamin C, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate thereof, in combination with vitamin K, or a single enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, or a mixture of diastereomers thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate thereof.

Vitamin C and vitamin K, and compositions thereof for treatment of osteolysis or prolongation of prosthetic implant

The present invention generally relates to methods for removing silica or silicate deposits comprising contacting a cleaning composition with a surface in contact with a liquid containing silica or silicates, wherein the cleaning composition comprises a salt of a nitrogen base having a fluoro inorganic anion. In particular, these methods for removing silica or silicate deposits can be used in steam generators, evaporators, heat exchangers, and the like that are used in produced water plant unit operations.

Fluoro-inorganics for inhibiting or removing silica or metal silicate deposits

Compositions comprising combinations of magnesium ascorbate (magnesium Vitamin C of 'MgVC') and Vitamin K3 or (VK3) or a quinone and semiquinone analogue of VK3, are used in methods for killing or inhibiting the growth of tumor or cancer cells or preneoplastic cells in a subject, or for treating cancer in a subject in need of such treatment.

Non-toxic anti-cancer drug combining ascorbate, magnesium and a naphthoquinone

A process for mitigation of fouling deposits within a combustion zone, capturing of toxic metal emissions, and reduction of visible sulfur emissions attributable to sulfuric acid mist during coal combustion. SOformed during coal combustion is reduced by the addition to the coal of raw, unprocessed magnesium-containing minerals such as magnesite ore or brucite ore. The minerals are pulverized to a fine particle size and combined with pulverized coal to provide a mixture of the particles. The mixture is combusted and the ore particles calcine and decrepitate to very fine magnesium oxide particles that have a significant particle surface area. The magnesium oxide particles react with the SOproduced during combustion of the coal and also capture toxic metals to reduce the quantity of undesirable stack discharge components.

Reduction of coal-fired combustion emissions

A method of using a mixture as an amphoteric buffer is disclosed comprising mixing sulfuric acid, magnesium oxide and/or magnesium hydroxide, and water to form an amphoteric buffer, and applying the buffer to a spill of an acid or alkali so as to neutralize the spill.

Amphoteric magnesium buffers

Water recovered from the polymerization of vinyl monomers can be treated to remove or deactivate chain transfer agents present in the water allowing resuse in polymerization processes. The water recovered from a vinyl polymerization reaction is contacted with a cation exchange resin in the hydrogen form prior to recycle, or may be acidified and then contacted with an anion exchange resin in the hydroxide form.

Recycle of water from polyvinyl chloride polymerization by treatment

Selenium compounds present in aqueous liquids can be removed using a poly dithiocarbamate materials. The selenium compounds are then removed by precipitation or sedimentation. Optionally, an oxidizing agent may be added to the system prior to the addition of the poly dithiocarbamate. Various filtration methods may be employed to remove the selenium-dithiocarbamate materials from aqueous liquids.

Removal of selenium from water by complexation with polymeric

The concentration of at least one metal species in an aqueous system is at least reduced in an aqueous system that contains at least one kind of chelating agent, by adding to such system a species or plurality of species of bacteria that have a low toxicity for the metal species, and establishing and maintaining a biomass in the system for a sufficent time period to reduce the metal concentration.

Process for reducing metal concentration in aqueous systems

A method for treating and resolving a phosphorus containing oily waste emulsion is described. The treatment uses an emulsion destabilizing cationic polymer of low molecular weight in combination with filter aids to form a coacervate slurry. The coacervate slurry can be optionally treated with either high molecular weight anionic or cationic coagulents, or combination thereof. The suspended solids formed by the above treatments are removed from the slurries and wasted or discarded or incinerated. The remaining liquids may be recycled, reused, or treated as effluent meeting environmental standards.
