Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of scale inhibitor technology, specifically to a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the context of rapid industrial technological development, water treatment in metallurgical and steel plants faces numerous challenges, among which filter media caking severely impacts production. To address this issue, steel plants typically use scale and corrosion inhibitors, but currently available agents generally suffer from insufficient scale inhibition performance.

[0003] From the perspective of the actual needs of water treatment in steel plants, the water environment is complex, with diverse mineral compositions and high levels of calcium and magnesium ions. Under such water conditions, calcium and magnesium ion crystals easily form, which adhere to the surface of the filter media, gradually leading to caking. Existing scale and corrosion inhibitors are insufficient in their ability to inhibit filter media caking when dealing with such complex water conditions. Their formulations lack specificity and cannot accurately chelate and disperse the minerals in the water to prevent crystallization and precipitation. Therefore, they cannot fundamentally solve the problem of filter media caking, affecting the permeability of the filter layer and consequently impacting the normal production of the blast furnace.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor with excellent scale inhibition effect for steel plants to prevent filter media from caking, so as to effectively inhibit mineral scaling in water and extend the service life of equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention proposes a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants and its preparation method, which solves the problem of insufficient scale inhibition effect of scale inhibitors and corrosion inhibitors for preventing filter media caking in steel plants in related technologies.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] This invention proposes a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants, comprising the following components by weight: 5-10 parts of polycarboxylic acid compound, 8-12 parts of polyepoxysuccinic acid, 2-4 parts of sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate, 3-5 parts of chitosan, and 35-55 parts of solvent.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the solvent includes water; the chitosan includes quaternized chitosan and / or carboxylated chitosan.

[0009] As a further technical solution, when the chitosan is quaternized chitosan and carboxylated chitosan, the mass ratio of the quaternized chitosan to the carboxylated chitosan is 1:3 to 3:1.

[0010] In this invention, when the chitosan is quaternized chitosan and carboxylated chitosan, and the mass ratio of quaternized chitosan to carboxylated chitosan is 1:3 to 3:1, the corrosion inhibition effect of the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor is improved when combined with sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate.

[0011] In this invention, the active groups of each component in the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor can form stable complexes with metal ions. These complexes can be adsorbed on the metal surface to form an organic protective film; on the other hand, they can complex with scale-forming ions such as calcium and magnesium in the water, preventing scale-forming ions from forming scale deposits on the metal surface, thus achieving a dual effect of scale inhibition and corrosion inhibition.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the polycarboxylic acid compound includes one or both of sodium polyacrylate and sodium polymethacrylate.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the following components by weight are also included: 1 to 4 parts of aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid.

[0014] In this invention, aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid is also added as a component of the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor, which works synergistically with chitosan and sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate to further improve the corrosion inhibition effect of the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor.

[0015] This invention also proposes a method for preparing the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1. The polycarboxylic acid compound, polyepoxysuccinic acid and solvent are mixed for the first time to obtain a mixture;

[0017] S2. Add sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate and chitosan to the mixture for a second mixing to obtain a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor.

[0018] This invention also proposes a method for preparing the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1. The polycarboxylic acid compound, polyepoxysuccinic acid and solvent are mixed for the first time to obtain a mixture;

[0020] S2. Add sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate, chitosan, and aminotrimethylene phosphonic acid to the mixture for a second mixing to obtain a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the temperature of the first mixing is 40~50℃, the rotation speed is 300~500r / min, and the time is 45~65min.

[0022] In this invention, maintaining a mixing speed of 300-500 r / min and a mixing time of 45-65 min during the first mixing stage helps ensure that the polycarboxylic acid compounds, polyepoxysuccinic acid, and solvent are more fully dispersed, avoiding situations where the local concentration is too high or too low. Too slow a mixing speed results in poor mixing and uneven distribution of components; too fast a speed may generate excessive shear force, damaging the structure of some components. Under the process parameters of this invention, a high-performance scale and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants can be prepared, effectively preventing filter media caking and ensuring the stable operation of the steel plant's water system.

[0023] As a further technical solution, the temperature of the second mixing is 35~45℃, the rotation speed is 150~300r / min, and the time is 30~50min.

[0024] In this invention, the mixing speed and time are reduced during the second mixing stage. This avoids over-stirring and ensures further uniform mixing and reaction of the components while saving energy and improving production efficiency. The use of staged and differentiated mixing parameters ensures the high-quality preparation of the scale and corrosion inhibitor, effectively improving its performance in preventing filter media caking and inhibiting scale and corrosion.

[0025] The present invention also proposes the application of the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor for preventing filter media caking in steel plants, or the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor prepared by the preparation method, in preventing filter media caking in steel plants.

[0026] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] In this invention, polycarboxylic acid compounds and polyepoxysuccinic acid are used as the base components, and sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate and chitosan are added to form a compound to obtain a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor.

[0028] Polycarboxylic acid compounds and polyepoxysuccinic acid can chelate with scale-forming metal ions, preventing them from depositing and crystallizing on the filter media surface, thereby achieving scale inhibition.

[0029] The combination of sodium polynaphthalene sulfonate and chitosan has a strong ability to disperse and suspend impurities and dirt in water, effectively preventing dirt from adhering and accumulating on the surface of filter media. It synergistically enhances the inhibition effect on filter media caking, and at the same time, it can prevent the formation of bioscale, ultimately improving the scale inhibition effect of the scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor.
