3239H C-1524Y TITLE OF THE INVENTION CONTROLLING SCALE IN BLACK LIQUOR EVAPORATORS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An anionic/cationic polymer mixture comprising: (a) a polyanion selected from polyacrylic acid (AA), polymethacrylic acid (MAA), polymaleic acid/anhydride (MA), polyitaconic acid (IA), polyvinyl sulfonic acid (VSA), poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid) (AMPSA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polystyrene sulfonate (SSS), and polyvinyl phosphonic acid (VPA), each optionally copolymerized with with one or two of the other, or optionally copolymerized with acrylamide up to a molar unit ratio of 1:1, provided that the total polyanionic weight average molecular weight is from about 1 to 15 thousand; and 3239H C-1524Y (b) a polycation selected from poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (DMDAAC), polyethylene imine (PEI), polyamine (PA), polyvinyl amine (PVA), poly(4-vinylpyridinium) (PVP), chitosan (CH), poly(methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride) (MAPTAC), and poly(acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride) (APTAC), each optionally copolymerized with with one or two of the other, or optionally copolymerized with acrylamide up to a molar unit ratio of 1:1, provided that the total polycationic weight average molecular weight is from about 20 thousand to 2 million; wherein the weight ratio of polyanion (a) to polycation (b) is from 1:2 to 1:8, has been found to give excellent inhibition of the formation, deposition and adherence of various a1kali metal and alkaline earth metal scales, e.g., sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and calcium carbonate scales in the stringent conditions which characterize black liquor heaters, evaporators, etc. in paper mills, particularly in association with Kamyr and similar wood chip digesters, characterized by elevated pH's of 12 and higher, high dissolved organic and inorganic solids concentrations, and elevated temperatures and pressures.
