Eckert, J A

A process is described for the degradation of a solution of a hydrocarbon liquid and a sulfonated polymer and an amine-containing polymer, the solution having anti-misting properties. The hydrocarbon liquid has a solubility parameter of less than 9.5 and is selected from the group consisting of mineral oil, synthetic oil, crude and distilled alkanes, cycloalkanes, paraffins, naphthenic and aromatics and mixtures thereof. The amine-containing polymer is a copolymer formed by copolymerization from a vinyl monomer and a monomer containing a basic moiety selected from the group consisting of amine groups, alkyl amine groups and pyridine groups. The sulfonate content of the sulfonated polymer is about 4 to about 200 meq. of sulfonated groups per 100 grams of the sulfonated polymer and the basic nitrogen content of the amine-containing polymer is about 4 to 500 meq. per 100 grams of the amine-containing polymer. The process comprises the step of contacting the solution of the hydrocarbon liquid, the sulfonated polymer and the amine-containing polymer with an inorganic acid.
