Abstract

In an attempt to control Ca3(PO4)2 and iron(III) scaling in cooling water systems, a water-soluble copolymer, acrylic acid-oxalic acid-allylpolyethoxy carboxylate-8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrene trisulfonic acid trisodium salt (pyranine) (AA-APEM-APTA) was examined as an environmentally friendly inhibitor. Structures of APTA, APEM, and AA-APEM-APTA were determined by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The observation shows that the dosage of AA-APEM-APTA plays an important role on Ca3(PO4)2 inhibition. The performance of copolymer on inhibition of Ca3(PO4)2 precipitation was compared with that of current commercial inhibitors. It was shown that the copolymer exhibited an excellent ability to control inorganic minerals, with approximately 94.7 % Ca3(PO4)2 inhibition. Correlation coefficient R2 of AA-APEM-APTA's is 0.9975. The effect on formation of Ca3(PO4)2 was investigated with combination of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The polymer had good dispersing ability with respect to iron(III). AA-APEM-APTA can be used to measure accurately polymer consumption on line besides providing excellent Ca3(PO4)2 inhibition and dispersing to iron(III).

Kurzfassung

Für die Kontrolle der Ablagerungen aus Ca3(PO4)2 und Eisen(III)-hydroxid wurde ein umweltfreundlicher Inhibitor, das wasserlösliches Copolymer Acrylsäure-Oxalsäure-Polyallylcarboxylat-8-hydroxy-1,3,6-Pyrentrisulfonsäure-Trinatriumsalz (AA-APEM-APTA) untersucht. Die Strukturen von APTA, APEM und AA-APEM-APTA wurde mittels FT-IR und 1H-NMR bestimmt. Die Untersuchung macht deutlich, dass die Dosis des AA-APEM-APTA bei der Inhibierung des Ca3(PO4)2 eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Die Wirksamkeit des Co-Polymers auf die Inhibierung des Ca3(PO4)2-Niederschlags ist mit der von üblichen, kommerziell erhältlichen Inhibitoren vergleichbar. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Co-Polymer anorganische Mineralien hervorragend kontrollieren kann; die Inhibierung von Ca3(PO4)2 beträgt etwa 94,7 %. Der Korrelationskoeffizient R2 von AA-APEM-nAPTA ist 0,9975. Der Einfluss auf die Entstehung von Ca3(PO4)2 wurde mit Hilfe einer Kombination aus Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (SEM) und Röntgenbeugungsanalyse (XRD) bestimmt. Das Polymer kann Eisen(III) gut dispergieren. AA-APEM-APTA kann verwendet werden, um den Polymerverbrauch on-line genau zu messen.
