TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of scale removers, and particularly relates to a scale remover for rapidly dissolving scale of wet-process phosphoric acid, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of wet-process phosphoric acid, the solution in the pipeline has high mineralization and contains a small amount of particulate acid-insoluble substances. With the long-time operation of the production device, the temperature, pressure and pH value in the flow process change, scale grains in the solution are generated and adsorbed on the pipeline to gradually grow. These changes promote the development of the pipeline in a direction conducive to scaling, and scale is inevitably produced. Meanwhile, the unevenness and undulation of the pipeline further promote the deposition of the scale grains on the pipe wall, resulting in the reduction of the inner diameter of the pipeline, the reduction of the flow cross-sectional area and the reduction of the displacement, so that the pipeline is seriously scaled during operation, forming a blockage and affecting the normal production of wet-process phosphoric acid. The main components of the scale of wet-process phosphoric acid are calcium and magnesium salts and fluorosilicate. The scale can cause equipment blockage, increase production energy consumption, reduce product quality, and directly affect the continuity of production due to the complexity and high hardness of the scale components and the difficulty of cleaning.

[0082] Performance testing The scale-dissolving properties of the scale-dissolving agents prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 on scale generated by wet-process phosphoric acid were tested. Scale from a wet-process phosphoric acid pipeline of a phosphate chemical plant in Linyi, Shandong Province, was analyzed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Figure 1 It can be seen that the scale crystals are layered and the scale structure is relatively dense, and filling traces can also be observed. Scale was added to the phosphoric acid scale solvent at a mass ratio of 10:1. The scale was then statically soaked in a 70℃ constant temperature water bath, and the dissolution rate of the scale was tested at 0.5h, 1h, and 2h. The specific testing method is as follows: A certain mass of scale was weighed and marked as m0, placed in the scale solvent, and after the specified time, the scale was washed three times with distilled water and dried to constant weight, with the mass marked as m1. The dissolution rate of the scale was W = (m0-m1) / m1 × 100%. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0083] Table 1 Solubility of scale in each treatment group As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the wet-process phosphoric acid scale removers prepared in each embodiment of the present invention have a high dissolution rate for scale. The dissolution rate is greater than 50% at 0.5 h and greater than 76% at 2 h. Among the three embodiments, Example 3 has the best effect, with a dissolution rate of over 85% at 2 h. According to the test results of Comparative Examples 2 and 5, when the total amount of penetrant remains constant, the absence of one component prevents the components in the penetrant from exerting a synergistic effect, resulting in a significant decrease in the scale-dissolving effect of the scale remover. Comparative Example 1 shows that the scale-dissolving rate of the scale remover also decreases significantly in the absence of the synergist. The results of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 also show that there is a synergistic effect between disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium carbonate; the absence of either component also reduces the dissolution rate of the scale remover to varying degrees.

[0084] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely some preferred embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Obviously, based on the above embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
