Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a water treatment agent composition and a water treatment method using the water treatment agent composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Water treatment agent compositions used in water systems such as cooling water systems contain various slime inhibitors, scale inhibitors, and corrosion inhibitors to suppress biofouling, scale, and corrosion. To obtain the optimal effect of such water treatment agents, and to reduce costs and environmental impact, it is desirable to measure the concentration of water treatment agents in the water system and control the amount added. One method for doing so is to add a reference substance, a so-called tracer substance, to measure the change in water treatment agents over time.

[0003] For example, fluorescent substances are known as tracer materials, and the concentration of water treatment agents in aqueous systems is controlled by a fluorescent tracer method using a fluorescent sensor (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-203031 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] However, it has been found that attempting to incorporate a fluorescent tracer substance and a specific corrosion inhibitor into a single formulation can result in precipitation, turbidity, and low stability.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a water treatment agent composition comprising water, a fluorescent substance which is a tracer substance, and a specific corrosion inhibitor, and which has good stability, and a water treatment method using the water treatment agent composition.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The present invention is a water treatment agent composition comprising water, a fluorescent substance, and at least one of a molybdate compound, a phosphate compound, and a zinc compound as a corrosion inhibitor, and having a pH of 8 or higher.

[0008] In the water treatment agent composition, it is preferable to further contain at least one of a slime inhibitor and a scale inhibitor. [[ID=十一]]

[0009] In the water treatment agent composition, it is preferable to further contain at least one of benzotriazole and tolyltriazole as the corrosion inhibitor.

[0010] The present invention is a water treatment method for performing water system treatment using the above water treatment agent composition.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] In the present invention, it is possible to provide a water treatment agent composition containing water, a fluorescent substance as a tracer substance, and a specific corrosion inhibitor, and having good stability, and a water treatment method using the water treatment agent composition.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] The water treatment agent composition according to this embodiment is a composition containing water, a fluorescent substance, and at least one of a molybdate compound, a phosphate compound, and a zinc compound as a corrosion inhibitor, and the pH of the composition is 8 or higher. The water treatment agent composition may further contain at least one of a slime inhibitor and a scale inhibitor.

[0014] The inventors have found that in a water treatment agent composition comprising water, a fluorescent substance as a tracer material, and a specific corrosion inhibitor, setting the pH to 8 or higher reduces the likelihood of precipitation and turbidity during storage, resulting in improved stability of the composition. In particular, they have found that in a water treatment agent composition comprising water, at least one of a zinc compound, a molybdate compound, and a phosphoric acid compound as a corrosion inhibitor, at least one of benzotriazole and toltriazole, and a fluorescent substance as a tracer material, setting the pH to 8 or higher reduces the likelihood of precipitation and turbidity during storage, resulting in improved stability of the composition.

[0015] There are no particular restrictions on the type of water used, but examples include pure water and ultrapure water.

[0016] A scale inhibitor may be added to the water treatment agent composition. Examples of scale inhibitors include polymers such as acrylic acid polymers and maleic acid polymers, as well as phosphonic acid compounds and polymerized phosphoric acid.

Examples of polymers include homopolymers containing monomer units of formula (1), binary copolymers containing monomer units of formula (1) and monomer units of formula (2), and ternary copolymers containing monomer units of formula (1), monomer units of formula (2), and monomer units of formula (4) shown below. One of these polymers may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

[0019] [Chemical Structure] (2) (In formula (2), R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X 2 represents an alkylsulfonic acid group or its salt, or an arylsulfonic acid group or its salt. In the case of a salt, it is a monovalent or divalent metal salt, an ammonium salt or an organic ammonium salt.)

[0020] [Chemical Structure] (3) (In formula (3), R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X 3 and X 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a monovalent or divalent metal atom, an ammonium group or an organic ammonium group.)

[0021] [Chemical Structure] (4) (In formula (4), R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X 5 and X 6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, but at least one of them is an alkyl group.)

[0022] Examples of the organic ammonium salts in formulas (1) to (3) include, for example, an alkylammonium group or a (hydroxy)alkylammonium group having an alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms.)

[0023] Examples of monovalent or divalent metal salts in equations (1) to (3) include sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, and magnesium salts.

[0024] X in equation (2) 2 When the alkyl group is an alkyl sulfonic acid group or a salt thereof, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms is preferred, and an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms is more preferred. 2 When the aryl group is an aryl sulfonic acid group or a salt thereof, an aryl group or aryl alkyl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms is preferred.

[0025] In formula (4), alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms are preferred, and alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms are more preferred.

[0026] In a binary copolymer containing monomer units of formula (1) and monomer units of formula (2), the weight ratio of monomer units is, for example, 1 to 99:99 to 1.

[0027] In a ternary copolymer containing monomer units of formula (1), formula (2), and formula (4), the weight ratio of monomer units is, for example, 1-98:1-98:1-98.

[0028] The weight-average molecular weight of the above polymer is, for example, in the range of 200 to 100,000, preferably in the range of 1,000 to 30,000, and more preferably in the range of 1,500 to 20,000. If the weight-average molecular weight is less than 200, the stabilizing effect of the active ingredient may decrease, and if it exceeds 100,000, the viscosity may be high and difficult to handle.

[0029] Examples of the polymers mentioned above include polyacrylic acid (PAA), a binary copolymer of acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AA / AMPS), a terpolymer of acrylic acid, 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and t-butylacrylamide (AA / AMPS / t-BAM), a terpolymer of phosphonic acid, acrylic acid, and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (PA / AA / AMPS), maleic acid polymer (MA), and a copolymer of maleic acid and acrylic acid (MA / AA).

If the amount of polymer blended is less than 0.01% by mass, the scale suppression effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 80% by mass, the viscosity of the composition may increase, making it difficult to inject with a pump.

[0031] Examples of phosphonic acid compounds include 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) and 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP).

[0032] In the water treatment agent composition, the amount of phosphonic acid compound and polymerized phosphoric acid is, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 40% by mass relative to the total amount of the composition, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 20% by mass, and more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10% by mass. If the amount of phosphonic acid compound and polymerized phosphoric acid is less than 0.01% by mass, the scale suppression effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 40% by mass, the environmental burden of the wastewater may increase.

[0033] Examples of corrosion inhibitors include azole compounds such as benzotriazole and toltriazole, which are mainly used as corrosion inhibitors for copper-based metals such as copper and copper alloys, and acrylic acid polymers, zinc compounds, nitrite compounds, molybdenum compounds, and phosphoric acid compounds, which are mainly used as corrosion inhibitors for iron-based metals such as carbon steel.

If the amount of corrosion inhibitor is less than 0.01% by mass, a corrosion inhibitory effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 20% by mass, the storage stability of the agent may decrease.

[0041] Examples of tracer substances include fluorescent substances, fluorescent polymers, sodium bromide, and lithium chloride. The inclusion of tracer substances facilitates the measurement of the concentration of water treatment agent compositions in aqueous systems. The tracer substance may be a fluorescent substance alone, or a fluorescent substance may be used in combination with one or more other tracer substances.

[0042] The fluorescent substance can be any chemical substance that absorbs a specific wavelength and emits a different wavelength (fluorescence), and there are no particular restrictions. Examples of fluorescent substances include pyrenetetrasulfonic acid and pyrenetetrasulfonate compounds such as 1,3,6,8-tetrasodium pyrenetetrasulfonate (PTSA), uranine, fluorescein, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, rhodamine, coumarin, and naphthalene sulfonate.

When n is 2, multiple R 9 and R 12 They may be the same or different. However, X is an oxygen atom, n is 1, and R 1 , R 2 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 11 and R 12 When all are hydrogen atoms, R 3 and R 10 (It cannot be a sulfo group or a chemically acceptable salt thereof.)

[0044] In a water treatment agent composition, the amount of tracer substance is preferably in the range of 0.001 to 1.0% by mass relative to the total amount of the composition, more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 1.0% by mass, and more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.1% by mass. If the amount of tracer substance is less than 0.001% by mass, it may be difficult to measure the concentration of the water treatment agent composition in the water system, and if it exceeds 1.0% by mass, running costs may increase.

[0045] A slime inhibitor (bactericide) may be added to the water treatment agent composition. Examples of slime inhibitors include isothiazolinone compounds and halogenated aliphatic nitro alcohol compounds. One of these slime inhibitors may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

Of these, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMI) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) are preferred in terms of stability in the formulation. One of these isothiazolin compounds may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

Of these, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (BNPK) and 2,2-dibromo-2-nitroethanol (DBNE) are preferred in terms of stability in the formulation. One of these halogenated aliphatic nitro alcohol compounds may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.

[0048] In a water treatment agent composition, the amount of slime inhibitor is, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 50% by mass relative to the total amount of the composition, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 40% by mass, and more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 20% by mass. If the amount of slime inhibitor is less than 0.01% by mass relative to the total amount of the composition, a slime inhibitory effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 50% by mass, precipitates may form.

[0049] The pH of the water treatment agent composition is 8 or higher, preferably in the range of 8.0 to 14, more preferably in the range of 9.0 to 14, and even more preferably in the range of 10 to 14. If the pH of the composition is less than 8, the stabilizing effect of the active ingredient cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 14, a large amount of alkali may be required.

[0050] For adjusting the pH of the composition, it is sufficient to adjust it to a predetermined pH; there are no particular restrictions. For example, pH adjusters such as acids like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid, or alkalis like sodium hydroxide aqueous solution or potassium hydroxide aqueous solution may be used.

[0051] The water treatment agent composition may contain other components such as oxidizing agents in addition to water, scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, tracer substances, and slime inhibitors.

[0052] <Water Treatment Methods> The water treatment method according to this embodiment is a method of treating an aqueous system using the above-described water treatment agent composition. For example, a predetermined amount of the above-described water treatment agent composition may be added to the aqueous system.

[0053] The amount of scale inhibitor in an aqueous system should be, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 1000 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, and preferably in the range of 0.1 to 500 mg / L. If the amount of scale inhibitor is less than 0.01 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, a scale inhibitory effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 1000 mg / L, the amount of chemical used may become excessive.

[0054] The amount of corrosion inhibitor in an aqueous system should be, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 10 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, and preferably in the range of 0.05 to 1 mg / L. If the amount of corrosion inhibitor is less than 0.01 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, the corrosion inhibitory effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 10 mg / L, the amount of chemical used may become excessive.

[0055] The amount of tracer substance in the aqueous system should be, for example, in the range of 0.001 to 100 mg / L relative to the amount of water to be treated, and preferably in the range of 0.005 to 1.0 mg / L. If the amount of tracer substance is less than 0.001 mg / L relative to the amount of water to be treated, it may be difficult to measure the concentration of the water treatment agent composition in the aqueous system, and if it exceeds 100 mg / L, the amount of chemical used may increase.

[0056] The amount of slime inhibitor in an aqueous system should be, for example, in the range of 0.01 to 1000 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, and preferably in the range of 0.05 to 250 mg / L. If the amount of slime inhibitor is less than 0.01 mg / L relative to the amount of water being treated, the slime inhibitory effect may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 1000 mg / L, the amount of chemical used may become excessive.

[0057] The pH of the water system is, for example, in the range of 5 to 9, and preferably in the range of 6 to 9. When water with a pH below 5 or above 9 is discharged into general wastewater, it is necessary to adjust the pH to the range of 5 to 9, which may increase treatment costs.

[0058] For adjusting the pH of an aqueous system, it is sufficient to adjust it to a predetermined pH; there are no particular restrictions. For example, pH adjusters such as acids like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid, or alkalis like sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution, can be used.

[0059] The water treatment agent composition according to this embodiment can be used for water treatment in industrial water systems such as cooling water, and for water used in the papermaking process in the pulp and paper industry. The water treatment agent composition according to this embodiment can be suitably used for water treatment in industrial water systems such as cooling water.

[0060] In the water treatment method according to this embodiment, other agents such as an oxidizing agent, DBNE and DBNPA, 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and other organic disinfectants may be used in combination with the water treatment agent composition.

[0061] This specification includes the following embodiments. [1] A water treatment agent composition comprising water, a fluorescent substance, and at least one of a molybdate compound, a phosphoric acid compound, and a zinc compound as a corrosion inhibitor, wherein the pH is 8 or higher.

[0063] A water treatment agent composition according to [3][1] or [2], A water treatment agent composition further comprising at least one of benzotriazole and toltriazole as the corrosion inhibitor.
