Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Water treatment compositions are provided that are effective for mitigating corrosion or fouling of surfaces in contact with aqueous systems. The water treatment compositions can include one or more azole compounds, one or more transition metals, and one or more dispersants, in addition to various other additives. The water treatment compositions can exclude phosphorus and still be effective. Methods for mitigating corrosion or fouling of a surface in an aqueous system are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A water treatment composition comprising: one or more azole compounds, one or more transition metals, and one or more dispersants, wherein said water treatment composition does not comprise phosphorus, wherein said one or more dispersants comprises a mixture of polymaleic acid and a copolymer comprising acrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, said one or more transition metals comprises zinc, and said one or more azole compounds comprises a mixture of butylbenzotriazole and tolyltriazole. 2. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of polymaleic acid and a copolymer comprising acrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid is present in an amount ranging from about 2 ppm to about 50 ppm. 3. The water treatment composition of claim 2 , wherein said one or more dispersants are present in an amount of about 3 ppm. 4. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of butylbenzotriazole and tolyltriazole is present in an amount ranging from about 3 ppm to about 20 ppm. 5. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said zinc is present in an amount ranging from about 2 ppm to about 4 ppm. 6. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said one or more dispersants comprises a mixture of polymaleic acid and a copolymer comprising acrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid in an amount of about 3 ppm, said one or more transition metals comprises zinc in an amount of about 4 ppm, and said one or more azole compounds comprises a mixture of butylbenzotriazole and tolyltriazole in an amount of about 3 ppm. 7. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of butylbenzotriazole and tolyltriazole is present in an amount ranging from about 1 ppm to about 50 ppm. 8. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of polymaleic acid and a copolymer comprising acrylic acid and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid is present in an amount of about 3 ppm. 9. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said zinc is present in an amount of about 4 ppm. 10. The water treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of butylbenzotriazole and tolyltriazole is present in an amount of about 3 ppm.
