Abstract

See full text

A composition useful as a deposit control agent to control the formation, deposition and adherence of scale in the process of extracting precious metals from an ore comprising (I) an aqueous slurry of a mining circuit having the ore, and (II) from about 5 to 500 ppm, based on the total weight of (I), of (a) from about 50 to 100 weight percent, based on the weight of (II), of a polyether polyamino methylene phosphonate, and (b) from about 0.1 to 50 weight percent, based on the weight of (II), of a polymer. A method for inhibiting calcium scale in one or more aqueous systems of a mining circuit employing this composition is also provided.
