Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water treatment chemicals, in particular to a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In industrial circulating cooling water systems, scale formation can lead to reduced heat exchange efficiency, increased energy consumption, and increased equipment wear and tear. With increasing water resource scarcity and rising environmental protection requirements, the application of traditional scale inhibitors, such as inorganic polyphosphoric acid, is limited by their high phosphorus content and the tendency to hydrolyze into orthophosphate, which can lead to eutrophication and severe environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of new, highly efficient, low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free, and environmentally friendly scale inhibitors has become a key research direction for water treatment agents both domestically and internationally.

[0003] Organophosphonic acid compounds contain atoms with lone electron pairs (P, O, N, and S) or π systems, conjugated bonds, and aromatic rings, and are considered effective corrosion inhibitors. The donor-acceptor synergistic effect between the metal and the inhibitor forms a thin protective layer on the metal surface through the formation of coordinated covalent bonds (chemisorption) or electronic interactions (physisorption). The resulting film isolates the metal's outer surface from the corrosive environment, thereby reducing the severity of corrosion. Organophosphonic acid compounds contain C-P bonds in their molecular structure, which are much stronger than the P-O-P bonds found in polyphosphates. Therefore, they have excellent chemical stability, a wide pH range, and are not easily hydrolyzed. During use, they do not hydrolyze to form orthophosphoric acid, which can lead to excessive growth of bacteria and algae. They are particularly suitable for cooling water systems operating under high hardness, high pH, ​​and high temperatures. Therefore, the development of new, efficient, low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free, environmentally friendly scale inhibitors has become a research hotspot. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor and a preparation method thereof. The synergistic effect of organic phosphonic acid and metal salt is used to improve the corrosion and scale inhibition efficiency. At the same time, polyacrylic acid and benzotriazole are used to enhance the dispersibility and copper corrosion inhibition, thereby solving the scaling and corrosion problems of industrial water systems.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor, characterized in that it is composed of the following raw materials in parts by mass: 7 to 10 parts of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylenebis(methylphosphonic acid); 3 to 5 parts of zinc sulfate; 7 to 10 parts of polyacrylic acid; 1 to 2 parts of benzotriazole; and 30 to 50 parts of deionized water.

[0006] Preferably, the present invention provides a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor, wherein the preparation method of the 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylenebis(methylphosphonic acid) comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Add 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxyphenol to trimethyl phosphite to initiate a vigorous reaction, while producing methanol (CH3OH);

[0008] Step 2: hydrolyze the product in step 1 in a methanol-water mixed solution (volume ratio 2:1-1:2) at a temperature of 80-100° C. for 18-20 hours to generate 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylenebis(methylphosphonic acid).

[0009] Preferably, the present invention provides a method for preparing a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor, which includes the following steps: mixing 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylenebis(methylphosphonic acid), zinc sulfate, polyacrylic acid, benzotriazole and water according to a ratio under stirring conditions, controlling the mixing temperature to 30-50°C, the stirring rate to 300-500rpm, and the mixing time to 0.5-1 hour to obtain a homogeneous corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor.

[0010] Preferably, the present invention provides a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor, wherein the 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylene bis(methylphosphonic acid) ester synthesis reaction is carried out at room temperature under nitrogen protection, and the reaction time is 2-4 hours.

[0011] Preferably, the present invention provides a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor, wherein the hydrolysis step uses a methanol-water mixed solution as a reaction medium (preferably a volume ratio of 1:1), and the hydrolysis temperature is preferably 95°C.

[0013] Preferably, the present invention provides a novel composite organic phosphonic acid corrosion and scale inhibitor, wherein the working concentration of the corrosion and scale inhibitor is 0.005-0.05 mmol / L.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-1,3-phenylenebis(methylphosphonic acid) contains a phosphonic acid group, a methoxy group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a benzene ring. The phosphorus atom (P), oxygen atom (O), and phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) provide lone pairs of electrons, forming coordination bonds with empty d orbitals on the metal surface (such as Fe), generating a stable metal-inhibitor complex (such as an Fe-OP bond). The benzene ring in the molecule physically adsorbs to the metal surface through π electrons, increasing the coverage density of the molecule on the metal surface. Ultimately, a dense protective film is formed on the metal surface, isolating the corrosive medium from direct contact with the metal.

[0016] (2) Zinc sulfate forms a film through the synergistic effect of zinc ions and phosphonic acid, enhancing the corrosion inhibition effect.

[0017] (3) Polyacrylic acid disperses suspended particles, and benzotriazole inhibits corrosion of copper equipment.

[0018] (4) The formula is environmentally friendly and easy to prepare. It does not require solvents or catalysts and is suitable for high hardness and high alkalinity water. The scale inhibition rate is ≥95%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
