US Patent:

7048871, May 23, 2006

Filed:

Nov 3, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/980361

Inventors:

Satya P. Chauhan - Columbus OH, US
William D. Samuels - Richland WA, US
Sara F. Kuczek - Pataskala OH, US
H. Nicholas Conkle - Columbus OH, US

Assignee:

Battelle Memorial Institute - Columbus OH

International Classification:

C09K 3/18

US Classification:

252 70, 106 13

Abstract:

In a process for producing a deicing/anti-icing fluid, a byproduct stream is obtained from a process that produces monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids. The stream includes water, glycerol, and an alkali-containing compound. The stream is converted to a deicing/anti-icing fluid by adding an acid to the stream to neutralize the alkali-containing compound to produce an alkali salt that functions as a supplemental freezing point depressant.

Satya P. Chauhan - Columbus OH, US
Melissa S. Roshon - Hilliard OH, US
William D. Samuels - Richland WA, US

Assignee:

Battelle Memorial Institute - Columbus OH

International Classification:

C09K 3/18

US Classification:

252 70, 106 13

Abstract:

A non-toxic deicing/anti-icing fluid includes at least 20% by weight of a freeze point depressant selected from short chain polyols having 3 to 5 carbon atoms. The fluid further includes at least 10% by weight of water, a thickener, a surfactant, and a pH moderator. The fluid meets the requirements of SAE/AMS 1428 or its revisions for a non-Newtonian, Type II, III, or IV aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluid.
