摘要:
Improved water soluble vinyl addition polymers for use as thickening and flocculating agents in water purification treatment, paper manufacture and waste water treatment are prepared using alkoxylated castor oil as an activation release agent. The release agent is biodegradable thereby making the overall product process more environmentally friendly.
摘要:
Homogeneous compositions of a solid, water soluble organic acid, e.g., glutaric acid, and a solid cationic ester-based copolymer flocculant are resistant to mechanical segregation and stratification caused by agitation. The compositions are prepared by coating the polymeric flocculant with the organic acid. The compositions are useful in sludge dewatering, water treatment, paper processing and waste water treatment.

摘要:
A cathode assembly for use in an electrolyzer cell is provided which comprises at least one separating means adjacent to a face of said cathode assembly and comprising a fluid-impervious material and extending diagonally upwards from a point on a first side of said cathode to a point short of a second side opposite the first side of said cathode, said first separating means having a positive monotonic slope with reference to said first side and to a third side adjacent to said first side and thereby separating said face into at least two interconnected regions. The preferred embodiment of the cathode assembly comprises two separating means equipped with downwardly disposed flanges affixed to an edge of said separating means and extending substantially along the full length of said separating means. A process employing the cathode assembly is also disclosed.

摘要:
A process for forming a hydrophobically modified water soluble or water dispersible polymer by utilizing a micellar polymerization technique comprising the steps of: (1) providing a reaction medium including one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers and one or more surface active agents or protective colloids; (2) incrementally adding one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties to said reaction medium; (3) initiating polymerization of said one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers with said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties; and (4) continuing polymerization of said one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers with said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties while incrementally adding said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties to said reaction medium is provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a copolymer comprising the polymerization product of two or more vinyl monomers wherein one of the monomers is a mixture of 3-methacryloyloxy-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium halide and 2-methacryloyloxy-3-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium halide salt. The copolymer has an intrinsic viscosity greater than about 5 dl/g. The preferred copolymer comprises the polymerization product of acrylamide and a mixture of 3-methacryloyloxy-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and 2-methacryloyloxy-3-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. The copolymers of the present invention are particularly useful as flocculants.
摘要:
Use of dicarboxylic acid in the preparation of cationic water soluble polymers useful in flocculation of suspended solids in various waste waters is disclosed. The dicarboxylic acids are shown to improve stability of cationic functionality and enhance distribution of charge.
