ABSTRACT:
A two-step process is disclosed for preparing an essentially non-crosslinked random copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid with esters of the acids which esters are formed by reaction with an alkylene oxide. Raw materials are (meth)acrylic acid and alkylene oxide. In a first step, a predetermined amount of a particular esterification catalyst is used, and with close control of process conditions, the (meth)acrylic acid yields both mono- and polyalkoxylated esters. In the second step polymerization is effected without separating the esterification catalyst or purifying the esters formed. The resulting random copolymer formed consists essentially of a terpolymer of (i) acrylic acid or methacrylic acid (together "(meth)acrylic"), (ii) a hydroxymonoalkylated (meth)acrylate, and (iii) a hydroxypolyalkyleneoxylated (meth)acrylate the monomeric moieties being present in specified relative proportions. Despite the presence of the polyalkyleneoxylated ester moiety the terpolymer is soluble in water, and is surprisingly effective in the treatment of industrial process water used in recirculating water systems.
