no. 1 approach

[0038] First, the scale inhibitor according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The antiscalant of this embodiment suppresses the precipitation of calcium phosphate scale produced in the reverse osmosis membrane treatment, prevents scale from adhering to the RO membrane, etc., and its main component is a unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid and derived from 2- A water-soluble copolymer of (meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid constituent units.

[0039]Specifically, the water-soluble copolymer as the main component of the scale inhibitor of this embodiment is a copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid and 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, or Copolymers with other monomers. Here, "(meth)acrylic acid" means methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or salts thereof, and these monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, "2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid" means 2-methacrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfon...

no. 2 approach

[0057] Next, the scale inhibition method according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The scale inhibition method of the present embodiment is a method of suppressing precipitation of calcium phosphate scale in reverse osmosis membrane treatment using the scale inhibitor of the first embodiment. That is, in the scale inhibition method of this embodiment, a scale inhibitor mainly composed of a water-soluble copolymer having (meth)acrylic acid-derived scale inhibitor is added to the reverse osmosis membrane treatment water system. Units and constituent units derived from 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, units derived from 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid are 10 to 40 mol %, and the mass average molecular weight is 1×10 4 ~5×10 4 .

[0058] In the scale inhibition method of this embodiment, there is no particular limitation on the method of adding the scale inhibitor, and it can be added at the site where scale a...

Abstract

Provided are a scale preventing agent for reverse osmosis membranes and a scale preventing method that can prevent attachment of calcium phosphate scale arising in reverse osmosis membrane processing without increasing the phosphorus concentration in discharged water and which does not give rise to fine sludge such as gelated materials. To a reverse osmosis membrane processing system is added a scale preventing agent having a unit derived from a (methyl)acrylate and a structural unit derived from 2-(methyl)acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. The unit derived from 2-(methyl)acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid is 10-40 mol%, and the main component of the scale preventing agent is a water-soluble copolymer having a mass average molecular weight of 1*10<4>-5*10<4>.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scale inhibitor for a reverse osmosis membrane and a scale inhibitor method. More specifically, it relates to a scale inhibitor and a scale inhibitor method for preventing the adhesion of calcium carbonate scale generated in membrane treatment. Background technique [0002] In cooling water systems, boiler water systems, membrane treatment or injection wells of geothermal power plants, scale can form on heat transfer surfaces, piping or membrane surfaces that come into contact with water. Especially when high-concentration operation is carried out from the viewpoint of resource conservation and energy saving, or when the recovery rate is improved in the case of using a membrane, the dissolved salts in the water are concentrated to form insoluble salts, resulting in scale generation. [0003] Further, for example, the scale generated in the heat exchange part causes heat transfer disturbance, the scale attached to the piping ...
