Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed for eliminating oxygen dissolved in water wherein there is added to the water a hydrazine solution containing, as the activator, an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN A = 0, 1 OR 2; B = 0, 1, 2 OR 3; C = 0, 1, 2 OR 3; B + C = 2 OR 3; AND A + B + C = 3, 4 OR 5, SUFFICIENT TO INCREASE THE RATE OR REMOVAL OF SUCH OXYGEN COMPARED TO THE RATE WHEN AN AQUEOUS HYDRAZINE SOLUTION, PER SE, IS USED. The use of aqueous solutions of hydrazine to eliminate oxygen dissolved in water, such as boiler or heater water, is known.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
In the process of removing oxygen dissolved in water which comprises placing an aqueous hydrazine solution into contact with said water for a period of time sufficient to remove said dissolved oxygen, the improvement whereby said oxygen is more rapidly removed consisting essentially of adding to said hydrazine solution an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR5## wherein a = 0, 1 or 2; b = 0, 1, 2 or 3; c = 1, 2 or 3; b + c = 2 or 3; and a + b + c = 3, 4 or 5, sufficient to increase the rate of removal of said dissolved oxygen from said water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
In the process of removing oxygen dissolved in water which comprises placing an aqueous hydrazine solution into contact with said water for a period of time sufficient to remove said dissolved oxygen, the improvement whereby said oxygen is more rapidly removed consisting essentially of adding to said hydrazine solution an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR5## wherein a = 0, 1 or 2; b = 0, 1, 2 or 3; c = 1, 2 or 3; b + c = 2 or 3; and a + b + c = 3, 4 or 5, sufficient to increase the rate of removal of said dissolved oxygen from said water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process as defined in claim 1 wherein the weight ratio between said compound and the hydrazine in said hydrazine solution is between 1/1000 and 1/10.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process as defined in claim 2 wherein the weight ratio between said compound and the hydrazine in said hydrazine solution is between 1/300 and 1/30.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process as defined in claim 2 wherein the amount of activated hydrazine solution is such that the weight ratio between said hydrazine and said oxygen dissolved in water is between 1 and 100.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process as defined in claim 4 wherein the amount of activated hydrazine solution is such that the weight ratio between said hydrazine and said oxygen dissolved in water is between 1 and 15.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
150 words
In the process of removing oxygen dissolved in water which comprises placing an aqueous hydrazine solution into contact with said water for a period of time sufficient to remove said dissolved oxygen, the improvement whereby said oxygen is more rapidly removed from said water, consisting essentially of adding to said hydrazine solution a compound of the formula: ##STR6## wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of nitro, nitroso and nitramine, a is 0, 1 or 2; b is 0, 1, 2 or 3; c is 1, 2 or 3; b + c is 2 or 3 and a + b + c is 3, 4 or 5, and maintaining said compound in said hydrazine solution until the group X is converted to the NH 2 group, said compound being present in an amount sufficient to increase the rate of removal of said dissolved oxygen from said water.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
150 words
In the process of removing oxygen dissolved in water which comprises placing an aqueous hydrazine solution into contact with said water for a period of time sufficient to remove said dissolved oxygen, the improvement whereby said oxygen is more rapidly removed from said water, consisting essentially of adding to said hydrazine solution a compound of the formula: ##STR6## wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of nitro, nitroso and nitramine, a is 0, 1 or 2; b is 0, 1, 2 or 3; c is 1, 2 or 3; b + c is 2 or 3 and a + b + c is 3, 4 or 5, and maintaining said compound in said hydrazine solution until the group X is converted to the NH 2 group, said compound being present in an amount sufficient to increase the rate of removal of said dissolved oxygen from said water.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
69 words
An aqueous hydrazine solution containing therein an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR7## wherein a = 0, 1 or 2; b = 0, 1, 2 or 3; c = 1, 2 or 3; b + c = 2 or 3; and a + b + c = 3, 4 or 5, sufficient to increase the rate of removal of dissolved oxygen in water when said solution is
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
69 words
An aqueous hydrazine solution containing therein an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR7## wherein a = 0, 1 or 2; b = 0, 1, 2 or 3; c = 1, 2 or 3; b + c = 2 or 3; and a + b + c = 3, 4 or 5, sufficient to increase the rate of removal of dissolved oxygen in water when said solution is
