Definitions

• the present invention resides in a modified alkylenediamine or polyalkylenepolyamine composition.
• the composition is suitable for use as a fluid loss additive in aqueous hydraulic cement slurry compositions or as a floccuiant for water purification, liquid waste treatment, or in the mining industry where such flocculants are added to suspension of solid particles (fines) in water or other aqueous media (pulps) to cause the individual particles to collect in the form of blocks.
• Hydraulic cements i.e., any inorganic cement that hardens or sets under water, are customarily admixed with water and emplaced as aqueous slurries.
• the amount of water employed may vary rather extensively depending largely upon the fluidity of the slurry required and upon the necessary ultimate strength.
• a hydraulic cement it is necessary for the cement slurry to be emplaced within or next to a porous medium, for example, earthen strata, e.g., in the cementing off of boreholes, grouting, dam and tunnel construction and the like. When such is the case, water filters out of the slurry and into the strata during the setting period.
• One such material comprises a polyamine compound selected from the polyalkyleneimines, polyalkylenepolyamines or mixtures thereof. A description of these polyamine compounds and their use in hydraulic cement slurries is taught, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 3,491,049.
