Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy and the sharp increase in population, water shortage has become an important factor restricting China's economic construction and development. The acceleration of industrialization has led to an increase in industrial water consumption, of which industrial cooling water is a major item of industrial water, and circulating cooling water accounts for about 80% of industrial water. Saving industrial circulating cooling water is the main way to rationally utilize water resources.

[0003] During the long-term circulation of industrial circulating cooling water, water evaporates and concentrates continuously, and Ca 2+ Mg 2+ 、CO3 2- The concentration of plasma will continue to grow due to the evaporation loss of part of the water. When these ions reach a high concentration, a scale deposit layer will form on the surface of the equipment, resulting in a reduction in the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe, which in turn affects the heat transfer efficiency and cooling effect. In severe cases, it may even cause pipe leakage and perforation, endangering industrial production safety. Calcium carbonate scale, calcium sulfate scale, and calcium phosphate scale are the main components of scale in industrial circulating cooling water systems. They have strong viscosity and low solubility in the circulating water system, making them very easy to adhere to and deposit on the surface of the pipe, resulting in a decrease in the heat exchange capacity of the cooling water. In order to effectively inhibit the formation of these calcium scales and improve the quality of cooling water, adding scale inhibitors is considered to be the most common and effective scale prevention method.

[0004] At present, the scale inhibitors widely used in industrial circulating cooling water treatment are mainly organic phosphine scale inhibitors and polycarboxylic acid scale inhibitors. At present, some commonly used scale inhibitors on the market can only have a good effect on one or two types of scales, but the comprehensive scale inhibition effect is not ideal. For example, a certain dose of polyacrylic acid only has a good scale inhibition effect on calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate scales, but has a poor scale inhibition effect on calcium phosphate scales. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a comprehensive scale inhibitor that has a good scale inhibition effect on calcium carbonate scale, calcium sulfate scale, and calcium phosphate scale. Organic phosphine scale inhibitors have excellent scale inhibition performance and are most widely used in the field of water treatment. However, organic phosphine scale inhibitors are rich in P and easily cause eutrophication of water bodies. With the continuous improvement of national environmental protection standards and people's environmental awareness, the use of organic phosphine scale inhibitors has gradually been restricted. In order to achieve the coordinated development of efficient water treatment and environmental friendliness, scale inhibitors have begun to develop and develop in the direction of phosphorus-free or low-phosphorus to reduce phosphorus emissions.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new type of comprehensive, efficient and environmentally friendly phosphorus-free water treatment scale inhibitor. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of existing scale inhibitors, the present invention provides a method for preparing a phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor.

[0008] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the mass of sodium persulfate added is 1.2-1.6% of the sum of the mass of monomer acrylic acid and 2-allyloxyethanol.

[0009] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the mass of sodium bisulfite added is 9-9.5% of the sum of the mass of monomer acrylic acid and 2-allyloxyethanol.

[0010] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the preparation method of the copolymer described in the present invention includes the following process: the mass ratio of monomer acrylic acid to 2-allyloxyethanol is (4~9):1.

[0011] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the mass concentration of the sodium persulfate added is 10-20%.

[0012] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, further, the mass concentration of the sodium bisulfite added is 25-35%.

[0013] According to the method for preparing the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the mass of the deionized water added to the reaction container is 1 to 1.5 times the mass of the monomer.

[0014] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, monomers acrylic acid and 2-allyloxyethanol, an initiator sodium persulfate and a reducing agent sodium bisulfite are simultaneously added dropwise into deionized water by a peristaltic pump, and the monomer addition time is 60-65 minutes; wherein the initiator and the reducing agent are added dropwise 1-3 minutes before the monomer acrylic acid and 2-allyloxyethanol mixture, and continue to be added dropwise for 1-5 minutes after the monomer addition is completed, and the total addition time of the initiator and the reducing agent is 63-73 minutes.

[0015] According to the preparation method of the phosphorus-free comprehensive scale inhibitor, the monomer content in the acrylic acid monomer is 96.88%, and the monomer content in the 2-allyloxyethanol is 98%.

[0016] The technical features and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The water-soluble copolymer prepared by the present invention uses acrylic acid and 2-allyloxyethanol as raw materials, and the molecular structure contains carboxyl, hydroxyl and ether groups with good scale inhibition and dispersibility. 2+ It has a strong chelating and dispersing effect, effectively reduces the formation of calcium scale, and has low cost and easy operation.

[0017] The copolymer prepared by the invention has simple synthesis process, high conversion rate, low cost and good water solubility, and has good scale inhibition ability for calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and calcium phosphate, thus effectively solving the scaling problem in the circulating cooling water system.

[0018] The polymer scale inhibitor prepared by the present invention does not contain any organic phosphine or inorganic phosphate in the molecule, which can greatly reduce the emission of phosphorus and avoid the environmental problems caused by the existing phosphorus-containing scale inhibitor.
