Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of scale inhibitor performance evaluation, and particularly relates to a scale inhibitor and a dynamic evaluation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The closed water circulation system is an effective measure for the paper industry to reduce wastewater discharge. However, with the increase in the number of water circulation times, the scale-forming ions in the water are continuously enriched. After reaching a certain level, they will deposit on the surface of the system equipment, bringing problems such as increased energy consumption and low wastewater utilization rate. Adding scale inhibitors to the water system to control the formation of scale is the most efficient and economical means to solve the above problems, and is of great significance for energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) reducing the scaling of equipment such as pulp conveying pipelines, washing and screening, reducing the cost of cleaning and maintaining equipment, and increasing production efficiency; (2) improving the heat transfer efficiency of heat exchange equipment and reducing energy loss; (3) improving the water circulation utilization rate, that is, reducing the discharge of wastewater and the consumption of fresh water, thereby saving water resources and protecting the environment. At present, scale inhibition is widely used in industries such as cooling circulating water, electric power, metallurgy, and seawater desalination. Different from the above application scenarios, pulp and paper wastewater contains a large amount of organic matter and suspended solids, and contains a large amount of chemical drugs and impurities. At the same time, the operating conditions of the water circulation system are complex and changeable. Selecting an efficient, fast and systematic scale inhibition and dispersion performance evaluation method and screening suitable and effective scale inhibition and dispersion agents are of great significance for the stable and long-term operation of the water circulation system.

[0003] The existing methods for evaluating the performance of scale inhibitors mainly include static scale inhibition method, bubbling method, critical pH method, limiting carbonate hardness method, conductivity method, hard scale determination method, and instrumental analysis method. The static method, bubbling method, limiting carbonate hardness method, pH displacement method, and conductivity method only evaluate the chelating performance and part of the dispersing performance of scale inhibitors. Therefore, they are applicable to the evaluation of the performance of scale inhibitors in medium- and low-hardness water, and there are relatively large errors in the evaluation of the scale inhibition performance in high-hardness water. The instrumental analysis method and hard scale determination method mainly evaluate the dispersing performance and lattice distortion performance of scale inhibitors, and can be used to evaluate the scale inhibition performance of scale inhibitor molecules in relatively high-hardness water. However, the actual operation is complex and the requirements for instruments are high. At present, there are patents providing methods for quickly evaluating the performance of scale inhibitors. Patent CN1560617A uses the method of cathodic polarization to accelerate the scaling of a working electrode made of metal material in an experimental water sample, and then evaluates the scaling performance of the experimental water sample and the metal material or the performance of water treatment agents by measuring the amount of scale on the working electrode. Although this method is fast and simple, it is not applicable to water samples with relatively complex ion content. Patent CN115950789B provides a scale inhibition performance evaluation method and device based on crystallization kinetics. This method obtains the crystallization kinetics coefficient and hydrodynamic coefficient of the flowing feed liquid under different addition amounts of the scale inhibitor to be evaluated in real time. Based on the obtained crystallization kinetics coefficient and hydrodynamic coefficient, when it is determined that the scaling process of the flowing feed liquid changes from being controlled by mass transfer to being controlled by surface reaction, the concentration of the scale inhibitor to be evaluated in the flowing feed liquid is used as its critical concentration. By comparing the critical concentrations of different scale inhibitors, a quantitative evaluation of the performance of scale inhibitors is achieved. Although this method can quantitatively evaluate the performance and dosage of scale inhibitors simultaneously, it can only be applied to systems with stable operating states and has certain limitations.

[0004] In the pulp water system of the paper industry, the contents of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , oxalate ions, organic small molecule acids, fine fibers, oxidizing substances, etc. are different in different pulping stages and change with the change of pulping raw materials. In the paper-making water system, the easily deposited substances such as fillers and sizing hydrolyzates change in different papermaking processes. In the black liquor alkali recovery system, the alkali concentration, concentration multiple, and material viscosity vary greatly in different evaporation stages. The existing scale inhibitor evaluation methods are difficult to be comprehensively applied to the evaluation of the performance of scale inhibitors in the pulp and paper fields in a systematic way.

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to develop a dynamic evaluation method for scale inhibitors that can be comprehensively applied to the evaluation of the performance of scale inhibitors in the pulp and paper fields, and formulate highly efficient scale inhibitors according to the evaluation results of this method. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Example 1: Evaluate the scale inhibitor performance of the pulping water system of a paper mill

[0038] Take the pulping water sample of a paper mill. The water sample detection analysis and actual working condition operation parameters are shown in Table 1:

[0039] Table 1 Analysis data of the pulping water sample of a paper mill

[0040]

[0041] The experimental evaluation process is as follows:

[0042] 1. Disassemble the shell of the heating plate. After cleaning and drying the surface of the shell, number it, weigh it with an analytical balance, and record the initial weight.

[0043] 2. Take 3L of the pulping water sample as the experimental water sample and add it to the heating water tank.

[0044] 3. Prepare 514 ml of 15 g / L CaCl 2 solution, 560 ml of 8 g / L NaHCO 3 solution, 150 ml of 5 g / L scale inhibitor solution, (150 ml of deionized water for the blank group). During the system operation, continuously and uniformly add the above solutions to the system. The flow rate of the metering pump for adding CaCl 2 solution is 0.12 ml / min, the flow rate of the metering pump for adding NaHCO 3 solution is 0.13 ml / min, the flow rate of the metering pump for adding the scale inhibitor solution is 0.035 ml / min. Set the heating temperature to 85 °C, the flow rate of the circulation pump to 50 ml / min, and the liquid level controller to control the constant liquid level operation for 72 h.

[0045] 4. After the system operation ends, turn off the heating unit, circulation pump, metering pump, and liquid level controller, and detect the pH, hardness, and conductivity of the experimental water sample.

[0046] 5. Take out the heating unit from the hot water tank, gently rinse the surface of the shell with 50 ml of clean water, dry the surface moisture, then remove the heating shell from the heating plate, dry it, weigh it with an analytical balance, and record the weight after the experiment.

[0047] 6. Gently scrape 20 mg of the scale sample on the shell, observe the crystal morphology of the scale sample under the microscope, and take pictures for recording.

[0048] The experimental data are shown in Table 2;

[0049] Table 2 Weight gain data of the shell sleeve under different experimental conditions

[0050]

[0051]

[0052] Data detection and analysis

[0053] 1. The scale inhibition performance of the scale inhibitor can be expressed by the scale inhibition rate η defined by the following formula:

[0054] Scale inhibition rate η = (W1 - W2) / W1;

[0055] W1 - The weight gain of the shell sleeve of the heating element in the group without scale inhibitor / g;

[0056] W2 - The weight gain of the shell sleeve of the heating element in the group with scale inhibitor / g;

[0057] 2. The dispersion performance of the scale inhibitor can be expressed by the dispersibility δ defined by the following formula:

[0058] Scale inhibitor dispersion rate δ = [(M0 + M1 - M2) * V - W2] / (M0 + M1 - M2) * V - δ0; Blank dispersion rate δ0 = [(M0 + M1 - M2) * V - W1] / (M0 + M1 - M2) * V;

[0059] W1 - The weight gain of the shell sleeve of the heating element in the group without scale inhibitor / g;

[0060] W2 - The weight gain of the shell sleeve of the heating element in the group with scale inhibitor / g;

[0061] M0 - Initial hardness of the water sample mg / L;

[0062] M1 - Supplementary scaling metal cation hardness added to the system, 5000 mg / L;

[0063] M2 - Hardness of the water sample mg / L after the experiment;

[0064] V - Volume of the experimental water sample L;

[0065] 3. At the same time, the chelating solubilization performance of the scale inhibitor is characterized by the conductivity of the water sample after the experiment, and the crystal morphology of the shell sleeve scale sample reflects the lattice distortion effect of the scale inhibitor;

[0066] 4. The hardness detection method refers to GB / T 6909 - 2018.

[0067] The relevant test results are shown in Table 3:

[0068] Table 3 Water sample detection indexes, scale inhibition rate and dispersion rate calculation, and scale sample crystal morphology after the system operation

[0069]

[0070] Result analysis:

[0071] As can be seen from the scale inhibition rate in Table 3, the effect of scale inhibitor A is better than that of scale inhibitor B. Further, the dispersion rate and the conductivity data of the water sample after the system operation are completed show that the dispersion effect and the chelating solubilization effect of scale inhibitor A are better than those of scale inhibitor B. At the same time, comparing the lattice morphology of the scale samples under the microscope under different experimental conditions, Figure 1 Under the condition of no scale inhibitor, the scale sample on the shell surface forms a regular crystal morphology, Figure 2 and Figure 3 Under the condition of adding scale inhibitor, the scale sample shows an irregular morphology. The crystal morphology of the scale sample under the action of scale inhibitor A is more irregular than that under the action of scale inhibitor B. The lattice teratogenic effect of scale inhibitor A is better than that of scale inhibitor B. The experimental results verify from different dimensions that the performance of scale inhibitor A is better than that of scale inhibitor B. Repeating the above experiment, the same data and conclusions are obtained, and the repeatability is good.

[0072] Example 2: Evaluate the scale inhibitor for the alkali recovery system of a paper mill

[0073] For the alkali recovery system of a paper mill, the operation data of the water sample in the black liquor evaporator are shown in Table 4:

[0074] Table 4 Operation data of the water sample in the black liquor evaporator of the alkali recovery system of a paper mill

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] The experimental evaluation process is as follows:

[0078] 1. Disassemble the shell of the heating plate. After cleaning and drying the shell surface, number it, weigh it with an analytical balance, and record the initial weight.

[0079] 2. Take 30 L of the dilute black liquor water sample before entering the evaporator as the experimental water sample, add 1.5 g of the scale inhibitor to be evaluated, mix it evenly, and then take 3 L and add it to the heating water tank.

[0080] 3. Prepare 771 ml of 10 g / L CaCl 2 solution and 450 ml of 10 g / L sodium oxalate solution. Continuously and uniformly add the above solutions to the system during the system operation. The flow rate of the metering pump for adding the CaCl 2 solution is 0.12 ml / min, and the flow rate of the metering pump for adding the sodium oxalate solution is 0.08 ml / min. Set the heating temperature to 95 °C, turn off the circulation pump, and the liquid level controller controls the addition of the experimental water sample to the heating water tank to maintain a constant liquid level operation of the heating water tank.

[0081] 4. When the concentration multiple reaches 3 times, 5 times, and 10 times, take out the heating unit from the hot water tank, gently rinse the surface of the shell sleeve with 50 ml of clear water. After drying the surface moisture, remove the heating shell sleeve from the heating plate, dry it, weigh it with an analytical balance, record the weight increase of the shell sleeve at different concentration multiples, and simultaneously sample and detect the viscosity of the water sample.

[0082] 5. After the concentration multiple reaches 10 times, end the system operation. Gently scrape 20 mg of the scale sample on the shell sleeve, observe the crystal morphology of the scale sample under a microscope, take pictures and record. Compare the weight increase of the shell sleeve and the viscosity of the water sample at different concentration multiples under the action of different scale inhibitors, and evaluate the effect of the scale inhibitor.

[0083] The experimental data refer to Table 5 and Table 6;

[0084] Table 5 Weight increase data of the hot shell sleeve of a group of heating units at different concentration multiples

[0085]

[0086] Table 6 Water sample viscosity data at different concentration multiples

[0087]

[0088] The morphologies of the scale samples under the action of scale inhibitor ①, scale inhibitor ②, scale inhibitor ③, and the blank group under a 500-fold microscope are respectively Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 ;

[0089] Result analysis:

[0090] The weight increase data of the shell sleeve and the water sample viscosity in Table 5 and Table 6 show that scale inhibitor ② has the best effect. By comparing the morphologies of the scale samples under the action of different scale inhibitors, the scale sample under the action of scale inhibitor ② has the smallest particle size and no agglomeration to form a large morphology, which may also be the reason for the better effect of scale inhibitor ②. The evaluation conclusion is also verified in practical applications.

[0091] Example 3: Evaluate the scale inhibitor for the white water of a paper machine in a paper mill

[0092] The index detection and operating conditions of the white water of the paper machine in a paper mill are shown in Table 7:

[0093] Table 7 Operating data of the white water of the paper machine in a paper mill

[0094]

[0095] According to the evaluation method in Example 1, take the white water of the paper machine in a paper mill and evaluate scale inhibitor a, scale inhibitor b, and scale inhibitor c. The evaluation data are shown in Table 8:

[0096] Table 8 Water sample detection indexes, scale inhibition rate and dispersion rate calculation, and scale sample crystal morphology after the system operation ends

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] Result analysis:

[0100] It can be seen from the above data that scale inhibitor a has the best dispersion effect, scale inhibitor b has the best chelating solubilization effect, and scale inhibitor c has the strongest crystal distortion effect on calcium carbonate scale samples.

[0101] Example 4: Using the same water sample as in Example 3, a series of formulations were prepared by mixing scale inhibitor a, scale inhibitor b, and scale inhibitor c with each other to evaluate the effects. According to the evaluation method in Example 1, the experimental data are as follows:

[0102] Table 9 Scale inhibition rate, dispersion rate, and scale sample crystal morphology data for different formulations

[0103]

[0104] Result analysis:

[0105] It can be concluded from the above data that there is a synergistic effect among scale inhibitor a, scale inhibitor b, and scale inhibitor c. When scale inhibitor a and scale inhibitor b are compounded, the scale inhibition rate and dispersion rate of the formulated product are better, but the crystal distortion effect on the scale sample is not obvious. When scale inhibitor a, scale inhibitor b, and scale inhibitor c are compounded, the scale inhibition rate, dispersion rate, and crystal distortion effect on the scale sample of the formulated product are significantly improved, and the performance is better than that of using single-agent products.

[0106] Example 5: Using the same water sample as in Example 3, a series of formulations were obtained by adjusting the proportions of scale inhibitor a, scale inhibitor b, and scale inhibitor c. According to the evaluation method in Example 1, the experimental data are as follows:

[0107] Table 10 Scale inhibition rate, dispersion rate, and scale sample crystal morphology data for different formulations

[0108]

[0109] Result analysis:

[0110] It can be concluded from the above data that according to the formulation of Formulation VII, the scale inhibitors are compounded in the ratio of a:b:c = 1:1.5:0.5, and the formulation effect is the best, and the evaluation conclusion is also verified in practical applications.

[0111] In summary, the method provided by the present invention is based on the scale inhibition principles of chelation solubilization, adsorption dispersion, and lattice distortion. The chelation solubilization, adsorption dispersion, and lattice distortion scale inhibition mechanisms of the scale inhibitor are respectively characterized by the hardness detected in the water system, the increased weight of the shell scale sample, and the microscopic morphology of the shell scale sample. The microscopic action mode of the scale inhibitor in the water system is characterized by macroscopic data, which can be comprehensively applied to the evaluation of the performance of scale inhibitors in the pulp and paper fields. According to the evaluation results of this method, highly efficient scale inhibitors can be formulated.
