Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of scale inhibitors for water treatment, and in particular to a scale inhibitor for boiler feedwater and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of thermal power generation, the boiler feedwater system of steam turbines directly impacts the operational safety and thermal efficiency of the unit. This feedwater primarily consists of condensate recovered from the turbine condenser and supplemental demineralized water. After mixing, the two undergo multiple purification processes to meet boiler feedwater standards. Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane separation technology is widely used in desalination due to its high desalination capacity, effectively removing total dissolved solids (TDS), colloidal, and ionic impurities from the water. However, during RO treatment, as the feedwater becomes increasingly concentrated, insoluble salts (such as CaCO3, CaSO4, and silicates) formed by the combination of hardness ions like calcium and magnesium with carbonate and sulfate ions tend to precipitate and deposit on the membrane surface, forming a dense scale layer. This leads to a significant decrease in membrane flux, increased operating pressure, and in severe cases, irreversible blockage of the membrane elements.

[0003] To suppress scaling in reverse osmosis systems, existing technologies generally employ the method of adding scale inhibitors to the feed water side, delaying the crystallization and precipitation of scale-forming salts through chelation and dispersion. For example, Chinese patent CN107261855A discloses a composite scale inhibitor for water with high hardness and high sulfate content. It uses polyamino-polyether methylene phosphonic acid as the main agent, combined with butenoic acid-acrylamide-hydroxypropyl acrylate copolymer and sodium ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonate, utilizing the synergistic effect of each component to improve the scale inhibition rate against calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate. While this technology solves the membrane fouling problem under high salinity water to some extent, the scale inhibitor molecules lack affinity with the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane surface, making it difficult to form a stable protective layer. Under high-speed water flow, it is prone to desorption and failure, requiring continuous excessive dosage to maintain its effect, further exacerbating the system corrosion risk and economic costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a boiler feedwater scale inhibitor and its preparation method, which can effectively solve the problem that traditional reverse osmosis scale inhibitors have poor affinity with the surface of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes, making it difficult to form a stable protective layer, and are prone to desorption and failure under water flow, resulting in membrane flux loss.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a boiler feedwater scale inhibitor, comprising the following raw materials by mass percentage: 40-60% scale and corrosion inhibitor copolymer, 30-50% reverse osmosis scale inhibitor polymer, and 10-20% corrosion inhibitor; the reverse osmosis scale inhibitor polymer is prepared by the following method: free radical copolymerization of epoxy acrylate monomers, hydroxy acrylates, and sulfonic acid-containing olefin monomers in a mass ratio of 20-30:30-50:40-50 to prepare intermediate A; condensation polymerization of diamine and diacid to obtain intermediate B; and amidation reaction of intermediate A and intermediate B to obtain the final product.

[0006] In any of the above technical solutions, the epoxy acrylate monomer is selected from glycidyl methacrylate and / or allyl alcohol glycidyl ether.

[0007] In any of the above technical solutions, the hydroxyacrylate is selected from any one or more of hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl methacrylate, and hydroxybutyl acrylate.

[0008] In any of the above technical solutions, the alkene monomer containing sulfonic acid group is selected from any one or more of sodium styrene sulfonate, sodium allyl sulfonate, sodium methacrylate sulfonate, and sodium 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonate.

[0009] In any of the above technical solutions, the molar ratio of the diamine to the diacid is 1.1 to 1.3:1.

[0010] In any of the above technical solutions, the mass ratio of intermediate A to intermediate B is 6-10:5-8.

[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, the dicarboxylic acid is selected from any one or more of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 3,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 2,2-bipyridine-4,4-dicarboxylic acid, and 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid.

[0012] In any of the above technical solutions, the diamine is selected from any one or more of ethylenediamine, pentanediamine, hexanediamine, or decanediamine.

[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, the reaction temperature of the polycondensation reaction is 140-180°C, and the reaction time is 8-10 hours.

[0014] In any of the above technical solutions, the amidation reaction time is 80–95°C.

[0015] The reverse osmosis antiscalant polymer of this application achieves high affinity with the surface of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes, forming a stable protective layer that is not easily desorbed or fails under high-speed water flow. Firstly, the free radical copolymerization of epoxy acrylate monomers endows the polymer with active epoxy groups. These groups can bond with active amino groups on the surface of the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, forming a covalent anchoring effect, significantly improving the adhesion stability of the antiscalant on the membrane surface and preventing desorption failure caused by high-speed water flow. Hydroxyacrylates and sulfonic acid-containing olefin monomers enhance molecular hydrophilicity through ether bond hydration, improving the self-cleaning ability of the membrane surface and reducing the physical adsorption of fouling. The sulfonic acid groups of sulfonic acid-containing olefin monomers (such as sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) provide strong electronegativity, dispersing scale particles through electrostatic repulsion while chelating Ca2+. 2+ Mg 2+ Plasma inhibits the growth of crystal nuclei, thus preventing scale formation.

[0016] It is worth noting that in the polycondensation of diamines and pyridine-containing dicarboxylic acids, by controlling the excess of diamine, the polycondensation product intermediate B retains the terminal amine group (-NH2), which efficiently bonds with the carboxyl group of intermediate A in the subsequent amidation reaction. The rigid heterocyclic structure of pyridine dicarboxylic acid monomers has both steric hindrance and coordination functions—its pyridine nitrogen atom can strongly complex metal ions and block the active sites of the crystal lattice, while the bipyridine skeleton hinders the migration of crystal nuclei to the membrane pores and inhibits the accumulation of stubborn scale such as CaSO4 and silicates.

[0017] In any of the above technical solutions, the raw materials of the scale and corrosion inhibitor copolymer include the following parts by weight of comonomers: 40-60 parts of unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, 20-30 parts of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate, and 20-40 parts of allyl phosphate diethyl ester.

[0018] In traditional scale inhibitor formulations, a high proportion of phosphonic acids readily hydrolyzes to form phosphate ions, which react with Fe... 3+ Ca 2+ The combination of these substances forms secondary scale, accelerating pitting and stress corrosion cracking of metal pipe walls, causing structural damage to turbine blades and boiler heat transfer surfaces. The scale-inhibiting and corrosion-inhibiting copolymer of this application possesses both scale-inhibiting and corrosion-inhibiting properties, and effectively solves the industry problem of traditional phosphonic acid scale inhibitors accelerating metal corrosion through hydrolysis.

[0019] Specifically, the carboxyl groups of unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers interfere with scale crystallization through lattice distortion, while the long-chain ether oxygen structure of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate promotes copolymer dissolution and dispersion through hydrophilic effects. The key lies in the introduction of allyl phosphate diethyl ester, whose phosphate ester group (-PO(OEt)2) exists as a high-molecular-weight side chain. Compared to small-molecule phosphonic acid scale inhibitors, its CP bond hydrolytic stability is significantly improved, effectively preventing PO4 from forming. 3-This reduces the risk of secondary scaling caused by the release of harmful substances; simultaneously, the P=O bonds coordinate with the passivation layer on the metal surface to form a dense organic pre-film, blocking dissolved oxygen and Cl-. - The corrosion path.

[0020] In any of the above technical solutions, the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer is selected from any one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, and itaconic acid.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, the corrosion inhibitor is any one or more of benzotriazole, mercaptobenzothiazole, and hexadecylamine.

[0022] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing a boiler feedwater scale inhibitor, which involves mixing a scale inhibitor and corrosion inhibitor copolymer, a reverse osmosis scale inhibitor polymer, and a corrosion inhibitor according to the raw material ratio of any of the scale inhibitors described above.

[0023] In any of the above technical solutions, the dosage of the boiler feedwater scale inhibitor is 3-12g per ton of water.

[0024] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The reverse osmosis antiscaling polymer of this application covalently bonds epoxy groups to the polyamide membrane, providing a durable protective layer on the membrane surface. Combined with the coordination blocking ability of pyridine dicarboxylic acid-terminated amine polyamide, it effectively inhibits the tendency of membrane scaling under high hardness water. The scale and corrosion inhibitor copolymer, relying on the structural stability of allyl diethyl phosphate, forms a metal corrosion inhibitor pre-film while inhibiting scale formation, and is further enhanced by benzotriazole corrosion inhibitors to protect metal equipment. This scale inhibitor, with a low dosage of 3–12 g / ton of water, simultaneously achieves long-term scale prevention of the reverse osmosis membrane and corrosion control of the boiler system, providing technical assurance for the safe operation of high-parameter units. It also systematically improves the efficiency of boiler feedwater treatment. Detailed Implementation

[0068] Table 1. Performance Test Results

[0069]

[0070] Analysis of experimental results:

[0071] (1) Analysis of scale inhibition performance of reverse osmosis membrane (membrane flux decline rate)

[0072] The membrane flux decline rates of Examples 1-3 were significantly lower than those of Example 4. This may be because Example 4 used adipic acid to replace pyridine dicarboxylic acid (Preparation Examples 1-4), resulting in the loss of the metal coordination ability of pyridine amine and the inability to block Ca. 2+ The movement of metal ions and crystal nuclei into the membrane pores.

[0073] Furthermore, the membrane flux decline in Comparative Examples 1-4 was higher than that in Examples 1-3. This may be because Comparative Example 1 used polyetheramine instead of polyamide (Preparation Examples 1-5), and Comparative Example 2 used ungrafted polyamide (Preparation Examples 1-6), both of which weakened the affinity and intermolecular forces between the reverse osmosis antiscalant polymer and the polyamide membrane, making it difficult to form a stable protective layer. Comparative Example 3 used an epoxy-free intermediate A (Preparation Examples 1-7), which could not covalently bond with the polyamide membrane, and the physical adsorption layer was easily washed away and desorbed.

[0074] (2) Analysis of scale inhibition performance of metal surfaces (scale inhibition rate)

[0075] The scale inhibition rate of carbon steel in Examples 1-3 was significantly better than that in Examples 6 and 7 (70.8%). This may be because the scale and corrosion inhibitor copolymer in Example 6 lacked allyl diethyl phosphate (Preparation Examples 2-4), resulting in a significantly deteriorated ability to form a pre-film with the metal complex; and Example 7 used a small-molecule phosphonic acid compound, which is easily hydrolyzed to produce PO4. 3- This can lead to secondary scaling.
