First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition for corrosion control in aqueous systems, the composition comprising a formulation of: an aluminum corrosion inhibitor, the aluminum corrosion inhibitor comprising (i) an aluminum sulfate present at a concentration of approximately 0.1-2 wt % actives, or (ii) a sodium aluminate present at a concentration of approximately 0.1-2 wt % actives; and (i) a polycarboxylic acid polymer, (ii) a sulfonic acid polymer, (iii) a combination of a polycarboxylic acid and a polysulfonic acid, (iv) an organic phosphonate, (v) a combination of a phosphonate and a polycarboxylic acid, or (vi) a combination of a phosphonate and a polysulfonic acid, wherein the pH of the formulation is (a) less than 4, or (b) greater than 10. 2. The composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the aluminum corrosion inhibitor comprises complexes of (i) citrate and aluminum, (ii) saccharic acid and aluminum, or (iii) aluminum and gluconate. 3. The composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises a polymaleic acid, polycarboxylic sulfonic acid, polyacrylic acid, hydroxyacids, phosphonocarboxylic acids, polyhydroxysuccinic acids, polymaleic anhydride, phosphonates, 1-Hydroxy Ethylidene-1,1-Diphosphonic Acid, 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid, amino alkylene phosphonic acids, polymers featuring one monomeric group with a phosphonic acid, and/or combinations thereof. 4. The composition as recited in claim 3 , wherein the formulation comprises (i) a polycarboxylic sulfonic acid polymer, or (ii) a polymaleic acid/polycarboxylic sulfonic acid polymer blend. 5. The composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises a polycarboxylic acid, and the polycarboxylic acid polymer is present at a concentration of about 3 to about 50 wt % polymer actives. 6. The composition as recited in claim 5 , wherein the concentration ratio of the aluminum corrosion inhibitor to the polycarboxylic acid polymer is greater than about 1:100. 7. A composition for corrosion control in aqueous systems, the composition comprising a formulation of: an aluminum corrosion inhibitor, the aluminum corrosion inhibitor comprising (i) an aluminum sulfate present at a concentration of approximately 0.1-2 wt % actives, or (ii) a sodium aluminate present at a concentration of approximately 0.1-2 wt % actives; and one or more of (i) a polycarboxylic acid polymer, (ii) a sulfonic acid polymer, (iii) a combination of a polycarboxylic acid and a polysulfonic acid, (iv) an organic phosphonate, (v) a combination of a phosphonate and a polycarboxylic acid, or (vi) a combination of a phosphonate and a polysulfonic acid, wherein the pH of the formulation is (a) less than 4, or (b) greater than 10.
