A multi-copolymer, methods for producing the same and using thereof in wastewater treatment application are provided. The method includes pre-mixing by mass 10-30 parts by mass of alkenyl succinic anhydrides, 10-30 parts of vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride, and 10-30 parts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate with water to form a first mixture; reacting the first mixture comprising passing thereof through inert gases to provide reflux protection, and adding by mass 10-30 parts of vinyl acetate and 10-30 parts of acrylamide to form a second mixture, followed by heating the second mixture and adding an initiator therein to initiate the reaction. The present invention is simple, at low cost, safe, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, easy to operate, with a better water purification efficiency than that of conventional macromolecule flocculants, multi-functional, good product stability, strong adsorption bridging ability, less dosage requirement for the water treatment agent, and results in a sturdy sludge cake and easily separated flocs.

Described herein are compositions comprising a vinyl acrylic copolymer derived in the presence of maltodextrin. In some examples, the compositions comprise a copolymer derived from: vinyl acetate; an acrylate monomer having a Tg of 30 C. or less; a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a combination thereof; and an organosilane; in the presence of maltodextrin. The copolymer can be provided as an aqueous dispersion. In some examples, the aqueous dispersion can have an overall solids content of from 40% to 75%. Also disclosed herein are carpet tiles having a surface coated with the adhesive formulations disclosed herein. In some examples, the carpet tile with the adhesive formulation applied thereto can pass the British spill test. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the compositions disclosed herein.

Disclosed are paraffin inhibitors, paraffin suppressant compositions, and methods of making and using them. The paraffin inhibitors comprise polymers of a maleic moiety polymerized with at least two olefins having hydrocarbon chains of a different length from each other. When added to hydrocarbon media such as crude oils to form crude oil compositions, the paraffin inhibitors inhibit the precipitation of paraffin waxes in the crude oil compositions and exhibit reduced precipitation, gelling, and/or crystallization from the hydrocarbon media when the media are subjected to sustained low temperatures.
