- EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of an emulsifier within the scope of this invention A mixture of C -dodecyl chloride, (*This is a mixture of C1248 chain which is predominately C and sold as such.) 61.6 g., thiourea, 57 g., and ethyl alcohol, 200 g., was refluxed until a clear colorless solution was obtained. The reaction was then allowed to proceed closer to completion by refluxing for an additional 6 hours. Upon cooling, a heavy precipitate formed. The solid 38.6 g., assumed to consist primarily of unreacted thiourea, was filtered off, and the alcoholic filtrate, containing 79.7 g. of solids, preserved for evaluation purposes.
- the filtrate solids were determined to be dodecyl isothiouronium chloride.
- EXAMPLE II Emulsification of octadecylamine with dodecyl isothiouronium chloride octadecylamine, 18 g., was blended with the product of Example I, 2 g., (net, i.e., after evaporation of the alcoholic solvent) and subsequently ground in a por celain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, 80 g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform white emulsion was obtained. Care was taken to avoid the generation of foam during the later stages of the emulsification process. The emulsion was then divided into 2 parts and diluted to 16.6 and 7 percent solids," respectively, and the samples used for evaluation purposes.
- the emulsion was very liquid, almost comparable to milk, and could be diluted infinitely with distilled water. No sign of phase separation occurred in 0.5 percent solutions of this emulsion in distilled water.
- the 16.6 percent emulsion had a cream-like appearance and showed the same characteristics as the 7% emulsion.
- EXAMPLE III Emulsification of hydrogenated tallow amine with dodecyl isothiouronium chloride
- EXAMPLE IV(a) Preparation of a modified version of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride
- Dodecyl chloride 2 This is a mixture of C chains which is predominantly C and sold as such. 218.5 g., thiourea, 152.2 g., and ethyl alcohol, 400 g., were allowed to interact at 80C under reflux conditions until the water-solubility test carried out with small samples of the reaction mixture according to the procedure described in Example IV(b) indicated that dodecyl chloride was converted nearly completely into soluble isothiouronium salts. The product was then isolated as described in Example I for C 2.1g dodecyl chloride.
- Example IV(b) Water-solubility test This test was developed as a control method for the production of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride from dodecyl chloride and thiourea, and is based on the water-insolubility of dodecyl chloride.
- the product/salt mixture yields a cloudy white solution at room temperature; as product concentration increases however, a precipitate will form in larger quantities.
- the graduated tube containing the product/salt mixture is then heated in a water bath until a clear solution is obtained. If any unreacted dodecyl chloride is present in the reaction mixture, it will reveal itself by forming a separate layer on the surface of the water/ salt solution. Measuring the volume of unreacted dodecyl chloride thus affords a semi-quantitative estimate of the progress of the reaction. In the final stage, no dodecyl chloride will separate out at 5060C. The mixture can then be centrifuged in order to facilitate the detection of any residual amounts of dodecyl chloride, which may have escaped the natural gravimetric separation. All samples are compared to a blank obtained by mere physical blending of the reagents mentioned above.
- Example V Emulsification of octadecylamine with a modified version of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride octadecylamine, 9 g., was blended with the product of Example IV(a), l g. (net, i.e., after evaporation of the alcoholic solvent), and subsequently ground in a porcelain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform white-creamy emulsion was obtained. Care was taken to avoid the generation of foam during the later stages of the emulsification process. No sign of phase separation occurred in 0.5 percent solution of this emulsion in distilled water.
- EXAMPLE VI Preparation of an emulsifier within the scope of this invention
- Ether was then added to the reaction mixture at room temperature in order to extract the acetic acid and unreacted thiourea. Filtration of the ether/product mixture yielded a light-brown semi-solid material (78 percent yield) which was found to be completely soluble in water at low concentrations.
- EXAMPLE VII Emulsification of octadecylamine with paraffin wax isothiouronium octadecylamine, 10 g., was blended with the product of Example V1, 2.5 g., and subsequently ground in a porcelain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, 90 g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform creamy-white emulsion was ob- M mortar and pestle EDTA Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid SP tribasic sodium phosphate TEA triethanolamine tained.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above description of the prior art, the use of fatty amines to form a corrosion inhibiting film on metallic surfaces, such as encountered in boiler systems, is well known. The use of an emulsifier to allow feeding of the otherwise insoluble fatty amines at a fixed rate into the boiler water is also well known. However, the only emulsifiers that have been used successfully prior to this invention have been nonionics such as ethoxylated amines. The disadvantages of previous emulsifiers such as ethoxylated amines is that upon breakdown of the emulsion, the emulsifier remains in the boiler water and accumulates without degrading, thus reducing the efficiency of the boiler system. In sharp contrast, the novel composition claimed in this invention uses an emulsifier which degrades, upon continued heating, into volatile fractions, which thus do not accumulate within the boiler water. We have discovered novel cationic fatty amine emulsions which are stable until subjected to heating, at which time they break down to allow the fatty amine to enter the vapor phase and thus be carried throughout the boiler system, coating all exposed metallic surfaces thereof with a corrosion inhibiting film.
It is an object of this invention to provide a novel method for inhibiting corrosion in boiler systems by adding to the boiler water a stable, water-soluble emulsion of fatty amines with one or more cationic emulsifiers so that said emulsion is fed uniformly into the boiler water, heating the boiler water so that the said emulsion is broken down and the fatty amines enter the vapor phase, and having the fatty amines carried throughout the system while in the vapor phase, so as to deposit a fatty amine film on all exposed metallic surfaces of the boiler system.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent from the further disclosures herein. It is intended however, that the disclosures herein do not limit the invention but merely indicate preferred embodiments thereof, since various modifications within the scope of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Useful fatty amines include saturated n-alkyl amines containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms; unsaturated n-alkyl amines having a saturated backbone containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms with l or 2 unsaturated moieties on the backbone; branched alkyl amines containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms; mixtures of any or all of the above; and hydrogenated mixtures of any of the above unsaturated amines. Examples of useful fatty amines include, but are not limited to: dodecylamine, tridecylamine; tetradecylamine; pentadecylamine; hexadecylamine; heptadecylamine; octadecylamine; nonadecylamine; eicosylamine; heneicosylamine; docosylamine; hydroxyethylhexadecylamine; hydroxymethyldodecylamine; diethyl-hexadecylamine; dimethyl-tetradecylamine; triethyl-tridecylamine; tallow amines; hydrogenated tallow amines. The preferred fatty amines for utilization in this invention are octadecylamine and hydrogenated tallow amines. These fatty amines will be present in the composition of this invention in from about 8 to about parts by weight, and preferably from about 8 to about 12 parts by weight.
Useful cationic emulsifiers are the salts of nitrogenous non-quatemary bases containing at least one sulfur atom, and in particular isothiouronium salts having the general formula:
ronium chloride, eicosyl isothiouronium sulfate, hydroxymethyldodecyl isothiouronium acetate, triethyl-tridecyl isothiouronium bromide,
hydrogenated tallow isothiouronium chloride. The preferred cationic emulsifiers for utilization in this invention are dodecyl isothiouronium chloride and paraffin wax isothiouronium chloride. The cationic emulsifier will be present in the composition of this invention in from about 1 to 7 parts by weight, and preferably from 1 to about 4 parts by weight.
In order to maintain stability of the emulsion where the boiler water contains inorganic salts such as phosphates, and/or is at a high temperature, a straight chain aliphatic acid of C which has been ethoxylated with from 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide may be added to the emulsifier. The preferred stabilizer additive is octadecanoic acid ethoxylated with from about 5 to about 25 moles of ethylene oxide. The emulsion stabilizer will be present in the composition of this invention in from 0 to about 7 parts by weight and preferably from 0 to about 3 parts by weight. It should be noted that the preferred emulsion stabilizer is difficult to dissolve in water and therefore is not suitable for use as an emulsifier in the composition of this invention.
The foregoing components are combined with water to form a novel emulsion which is then diluted with water to form a steam-corrosion inhibiting composition containing from about 1 percent to about 25 percent by weight of solids.
The steam-corrosion inhibiting composition may be utilized in the following novel manner. Said composition is. added to the water in the boiler system by direct addition to the water storage tank, by feeding into water being added to the water storage tank, or by any other means, so that a ratio of from about 0.10 percent to about 2.0 percent by weight of said composition to the weight of the boiler water is maintained. The boiler water is then heated sufficiently to break down the emulsion into its component parts. Further heating of the boiler water will cause the fatty amine component to enter its vapor phase and become dispersed throughout the boiler system, whereupon it will become deposited as a film upon all exposed metallic interior surfaces of the system. Said film will then inhibit corrosion of the said surfaces caused by the steam passing across them. Although the film-coating process is independent of the steam generation, it is most frequently conducted simultaneously therewith.
The temperature at which the boiler system is functioning is not of importance as long as it is sufficient to break down the emulsion and vaporize the fatty amine. Thus, under pressures less than one atmosphere, the fatty amine will enter the vapor phase at a lower temperature and conversely, in a high pressure system, a higher temperature will be required to vaporize the fatty amine.
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of an emulsifier within the scope of this invention A mixture of C -dodecyl chloride, (*This is a mixture of C1248 chain which is predominately C and sold as such.) 61.6 g., thiourea, 57 g., and ethyl alcohol, 200 g., was refluxed until a clear colorless solution was obtained. The reaction was then allowed to proceed closer to completion by refluxing for an additional 6 hours. Upon cooling, a heavy precipitate formed. The solid 38.6 g., assumed to consist primarily of unreacted thiourea, was filtered off, and the alcoholic filtrate, containing 79.7 g. of solids, preserved for evaluation purposes. The filtrate solids were determined to be dodecyl isothiouronium chloride. The product was identified by its strong infrared absorption at 1,645 cm, believed to originate from a moiety containing the amidino-radical, C(=NII)-NI-I,.
EXAMPLE II Emulsification of octadecylamine with dodecyl isothiouronium chloride octadecylamine, 18 g., was blended with the product of Example I, 2 g., (net, i.e., after evaporation of the alcoholic solvent) and subsequently ground in a por celain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, 80 g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform white emulsion was obtained. Care was taken to avoid the generation of foam during the later stages of the emulsification process. The emulsion was then divided into 2 parts and diluted to 16.6 and 7 percent solids," respectively, and the samples used for evaluation purposes. At 7 percent solids, the emulsion was very liquid, almost comparable to milk, and could be diluted infinitely with distilled water. No sign of phase separation occurred in 0.5 percent solutions of this emulsion in distilled water. The 16.6 percent emulsion had a cream-like appearance and showed the same characteristics as the 7% emulsion.
EXAMPLE III Emulsification of hydrogenated tallow amine with dodecyl isothiouronium chloride A mixture of fatty amine, (Armeen HTD, Armour Chem. Co.), 18 g., and the product of Example I, 3 g., was blended with water, 180 g., under continuous agitation. A small fraction of this quantity of water was added initially along with the fatty amine; the remainder was added slowly over a period of 1 hour. A viscous paste-like material formed under these conditions. An additional 3 g. of the emulsifier was then added, and the resulting product kept under slow agitation for 4 hours at 60-70C to yield a smoothly-flowing white emulsion.
EXAMPLE IV(a) Preparation of a modified version of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride Dodecyl chloride 2. This is a mixture of C chains which is predominantly C and sold as such. 218.5 g., thiourea, 152.2 g., and ethyl alcohol, 400 g., were allowed to interact at 80C under reflux conditions until the water-solubility test carried out with small samples of the reaction mixture according to the procedure described in Example IV(b) indicated that dodecyl chloride was converted nearly completely into soluble isothiouronium salts. The product was then isolated as described in Example I for C 2.1g dodecyl chloride. Example IV(b) Water-solubility test This test was developed as a control method for the production of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride from dodecyl chloride and thiourea, and is based on the water-insolubility of dodecyl chloride.
Equipment: Graduated test tube, centrifuge tube or cylinder (50 ml. size used on lab. scale reaction).
Procedure: 30 ml. of a 10% NaCl solution was placed in the graduated tube; 10 ml. of the alcoholic reaction mixture (after settling of the undissolved thiourea) are then mixed with the salt solution. (Because of the high content of unreacted thiourea which was dissolved in hot alcohol, but precipitates at room temperature, the sample may solidify in the sampling pipet. If this occurs, the sample can be recovered by warming the salt solution and drawing it up into the pipet several times, and by keeping the pipet in a hot water bath at l 00 C).
The product/salt mixture yields a cloudy white solution at room temperature; as product concentration increases however, a precipitate will form in larger quantities.
The graduated tube containing the product/salt mixture is then heated in a water bath until a clear solution is obtained. If any unreacted dodecyl chloride is present in the reaction mixture, it will reveal itself by forming a separate layer on the surface of the water/ salt solution. Measuring the volume of unreacted dodecyl chloride thus affords a semi-quantitative estimate of the progress of the reaction. In the final stage, no dodecyl chloride will separate out at 5060C. The mixture can then be centrifuged in order to facilitate the detection of any residual amounts of dodecyl chloride, which may have escaped the natural gravimetric separation. All samples are compared to a blank obtained by mere physical blending of the reagents mentioned above.
Example V Emulsification of octadecylamine with a modified version of dodecyl isothiouronium chloride octadecylamine, 9 g., was blended with the product of Example IV(a), l g. (net, i.e., after evaporation of the alcoholic solvent), and subsequently ground in a porcelain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform white-creamy emulsion was obtained. Care was taken to avoid the generation of foam during the later stages of the emulsification process. No sign of phase separation occurred in 0.5 percent solution of this emulsion in distilled water.
EXAMPLE VI Preparation of an emulsifier within the scope of this invention A mixture of chlorinated paraffin wax containing 40-42 percent chlorine by weight, 89 g., thiourea, 34 g., and acetic acid, 200 g., was refluxed for 8 hours at 122C. Ether was then added to the reaction mixture at room temperature in order to extract the acetic acid and unreacted thiourea. Filtration of the ether/product mixture yielded a light-brown semi-solid material (78 percent yield) which was found to be completely soluble in water at low concentrations.
EXAMPLE VII Emulsification of octadecylamine with paraffin wax isothiouronium octadecylamine, 10 g., was blended with the product of Example V1, 2.5 g., and subsequently ground in a porcelain mortar until the two components were thoroughly mixed. Distilled water, 90 g., was then added dropwise and the grinding procedure continued until a uniform creamy-white emulsion was ob- M mortar and pestle EDTA Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid SP tribasic sodium phosphate TEA triethanolamine tained.

M Ill) Du It is apparent from the results shown in the tables above that complete emulsification of the octadecylamine as judged by the above-mentioned solution test was only achieved when at least one of the emulsifiers cited in the relevant claims of this application were applied. Stability of the emulsion towards salt solution could be achieved by means of selected stabilizers such as ethoxylated stearic acid. It should be noted also that that the pressure solely of the compounds classed as stabilizers in this application was not sufficient to bring about emulsification of the fatty amine.
