Abstract:
Methods for inhibiting the attachment of microbes to surfaces in aqueous systems are disclosed. Copolymers of a tannin and a cationic monomer are added to aqueous systems, such as papermaking and cooling water systems, to inhibit microbial attachment to surfaces which cause slime formation problems.

International Classification:
F23J 1100
US Classification:
110343
Abstract:
In a coal fired boiler of the type having a combustion zone in which said coal is fired, a convection zone located downstream from said combustion zone and having a plurality of heater tubes disposed therein adapted to heat water or steam disposed therein, and in which convection zone combustion residues emanating from said coal have a tendency to stick to or agglomerate upon said tubes, a method of decreasing said tendency to stick or agglomerate, comprising burning said coal in the presence of an additive consisting essentially of super large magnesium oxide particles, a major mass fraction of which is about 150 microns in diameter or greater.

Abstract:
Methods for inhibiting the attachment of microbes to surfaces in aqueous systems are disclosed. Tea extracts and/or tannins are added to aqueous systems, such as papermaking and cooling water systems, to inhibit microbial attachment to surfaces which cause slime formation problems.
A method of reducing the amount of corrosion due to sulfuric acid on metal parts at the cold-end of a combustion system and in contact with combustion gases derived from the combustion of sulfur-containing fuel, said method comprising adding to the combustion gases an effective amount for the purpose of an ethylene polyamine additive.
The present invention is drawn to ethylene polyamines in combination with certain alkanolamines as cold-end additives. More specifically, it has been discovered that if these additives are fed to the moving combustion gases of a combustion system which uses sulfur containing fuel and upstream of cold-end surfaces to be treated, the additive will travel along with the gases as vapor and/or liquid droplets and deposit on the cold-end surfaces. As a result, the amount of sulfuric acid corrosion of metallic cold-end surfaces is reduced.
