Process of inhibiting scale formation in aqueous systems using quaternary ammonium salts of. cap alpha. -1,4-thiazine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6485173
Quaternary ammonium salts of ..cap alpha..-1,4-thiazine alkanephosphonic acids are described which inhibit scale formation in aqueous systems. The compounds also can be used in formation of acid corrosion inhibitors, as sequestering agents, and as microbiocides. These compounds are prepared by reacting an ..cap alpha..-1,4-thiazine alkanephosphonic acid compound with an alkylating agent in a suitable polar solvent or a mixture of polar solvents. Examples of solvents are water, mixtures of water and lower alcohols, lower alcohols, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and hexamethyulphosphorotrimide. 10 claims.
