Abstract
Silicon containing polyamine scale inhibitors derived from poly(primary amine)s are disclosed. The scale inhibitors can be used to reduce siliceous scale formation in industrial process streams such as alumina recovery process streams, nuclear waste streams and kraft paper mill effluent streams.
Claims13
A scale inhibiting polymer comprising:
- a polymer backbone functionalized with a hydrophobe-containing compound and a silane compound,
- wherein the polymer backbone is one or more of the group consisting of polyvinyl amine and polyallylamine,
- wherein the hydrophobe-containing compound is one or more of the group consisting of 1-bromopropane, propylene oxide, 1,2-epoxydodecane, 1,2-epoxyhexane, (2,3-epoxypropyl) benzene, butyl gycidyl ether, 1-bromododecane, and the hydrophobe-containing compound is present at 1-40 mol %, and
- wherein the silane compound is one or more of the group consisting of (5,6-epoxyhexyl)triethoxysilane and (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, and the silane is present at 9-20 mol %.

A method of reducing siliceous scale formation in an industrial process that is susceptible to siliceous scale formation, comprising adding a scale-reducing amount of a polymer to an industrial process stream, the polymer comprising:
- a polymer backbone functionalized with a hydrophobe-containing compound and a silane compound,
- wherein the polymer backbone is one or more of the group consisting of polyvinyl amine and polyallylamine,
- wherein the hydrophobe-containing compound is one or more of the group consisting of 1-bromopropane, propylene oxide, 1,2-epoxydodecane, 1,2-epoxyhexane, (2,3-epoxypropyl) benzene, butyl glycidyl ether, 1-bromododecane, and the hydrophobe is present at 1-40 mol %, and
- wherein the silane compound is one or more of the group consisting of (5,6-epoxyhexyl)triethoxysilane and (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, and the silane is present at 9-20 mol %.
