Abstract
Abstract A novel, water-soluble, sulfated vinyl monomer is presented; and scale-inhibiting agents are provided which are particularly effective against phosphate scale and which comprise an alkylolamide sulfate or an alkylolanilide sulfate, polymerized with an alkenyl compound such as acrylic acid or the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
The method of inhibiting scale formation in an industrial water system which comprises the step of adding to the water in such a system a scale-inhibiting amount a scale inhibiting agent comprising a polymer of a sulfate monomer having the general structural formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 represents either an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom; wherein R 2 represents an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, a hydrogen atom, or an alkylol group; and wherein R 3 represents a bond, an alkylene group having one to eight carbon atoms, or a phenyl group; and an alkenyl compound having the general structural formula: ##STR4## wherein R 5 and R 6 represent either hydrogen or an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, and R 4 represents either hydrogen, an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, or a carboxylic acid group.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
151 words
The method of inhibiting scale formation in an industrial water system which comprises the step of adding to the water in such a system a scale-inhibiting amount a scale inhibiting agent comprising a polymer of a sulfate monomer having the general structural formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 represents either an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom; wherein R 2 represents an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, a hydrogen atom, or an alkylol group; and wherein R 3 represents a bond, an alkylene group having one to eight carbon atoms, or a phenyl group; and an alkenyl compound having the general structural formula: ##STR4## wherein R 5 and R 6 represent either hydrogen or an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, and R 4 represents either hydrogen, an alkyl group having one to three carbon atoms, or a carboxylic acid group.
