Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
THE METHOD OF TREATING WATER IN A WATER SYSTEM TO RETARD THE CORROSON OF THE METALS WHICH CONTACT THE WATER IN THE SYSTEM WHICH COMPRISES ADDING TO THE WATER A COMPOSITION CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A WATER SOLUBLE PHOSPHONE OR PHOSPHINE IN A CONCENTRATION OF ABOUT TWO PPM TO 20 PPM, A WATER SOLUBLE SULFONATED LIGNIN IN A CONCENTRATION OF ABOUT FOUR PPM TO 20 PPM, AND A WATER SOLUBLE METAL CATION IN A CONCENTRATION OF ABOUT ONE PPM TO 10 PPM, SAID SULFONATED LIGNIN INCLUDING A COMPONENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF PRODUCTS WHICH ARE OXIDIZABLE TO FORM A CARBOXYLIC ACID, B CARBOXYLIC ACID, OR MIXTURES OF THE TWO, SAID WATER SOLUBLE PHSPHONE OR PHOSPHINE BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF
