The invention relates to a scale inhibitor containing itaconic acid. The scale inhibitor comprises the following components in parts by weight: 32-36 parts of sodium ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonate, 21-25 parts of tetrasodium aminotrimethylene phosphonate , 11-15 parts of sodium polyacrylate, 10-14 parts of tartaric acid, 10-14 parts of itaconic acid, 6-10 parts of methylisothiazolinone, 6-10 parts of 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide 10 parts, 5-9 parts of tolyltriazole, 5-9 parts of sodium sulfite, 1-9 parts of sodium lauryl sulfate, 2-6 parts of methyl amyl alcohol, 1-5 parts of licorice extract, moon peach leaf 1-5 parts of extract, 52-56 parts of water, the antiscalant of the present invention is stable in nature, has a long storage period, and has good scale inhibition effect on the precipitation of inorganic salts in the salt-discharging dark pipe, and has no effect on the salt-discharging dark pipe. Corrosion and scale inhibition efficiency is high, the dosage is small, when it is discharged to the external environment, it will not cause environmental pollution, and there is no need for subsequent treatment costs.
