    摘要: It can sometimes be difficult to quantify the amount of polymer present in a subterranean treatment fluid, particularly at a job site. Methods for analyzing a treatment fluid for a polymer can comprise: receiving a sample of a treatment fluid comprising a nitrogen-containing polymer; placing the sample of the treatment fluid and an aqueous base in an oilfield retort; heating the sample of the treatment fluid and the aqueous base together in the oilfield retort at least until the nitrogen-containing polymer has been substantially hydrolyzed to one or more volatile nitrogen compounds; distilling the one or more volatile nitrogen compounds from the oilfield retort; and determining a quantity of the nitrogen-containing polymer in the sample of the treatment fluid based upon a quantity of the one or more volatile nitrogen compounds distilled from the oilfield retort. Analyses of other nitrogen-containing compounds may take place similarly.

    摘要: This invention is a process for removing NH.sub.3 from a NH.sub.3 -containing liquid stream. The process contains the following steps: (a) passing a NH.sub.3 -containing first liquid stream, a heated first gaseous stream, and an ammonium salt-containing second liquid stream obtained from step (d) of this process to a spray drying zone thereby spray drying the liquid stream and producing a spray drying zone effluent containing ammonia-containing gas and solid particles containing ammonium salts; (b) passing the spray drying zone effluent to a solid/gas separating means thereby separating and removing at least a portion of the solid particles and thereby producing a second gaseous stream comprising ammonia and entrained solid particles containing ammonium salts; (c) passing the second gaseous stream to a scrubbing zone to scrub the second gaseous stream, at scrubbing conditions, in the presence of an inorganic or organic acid thereby forming a gaseous stream substantially free of ammonia and an ammonium salt-containing liquid stream containing ammonium salts; and (d) passing at least a portion of the ammonium salt-containing liquid stream as the second liquid stream to the spray drying zone.
