A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PHOSPHONATE AND
PHOSPHORUS-FREE ANTISCALANT EFFICIENCY BY STATIC AND DYNAMIC METHODS. DO WE
HAVE RELIABLE TOOLS FOR AN ADEQUATE REAGENT SELECTION?
Authored by Popov K
A relative ability of four industrial samples of phosphorus-free
polymers (polyaspartate, PASP; polyepoxysuccinate, PESA; polyacrylic
acid sodium salt, PAAS; copolymer of maleic and acrylic acid, MA-AA) and
of two phosphonates (aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid), ATMP;
1-hydroxyethane-1,1-bis(phosphonic acid), HEDP) to inhibit calcium
carbonate precipitation at a dosage 10 mg•dm-3 is tested in static
experiments following the NACE Standard TM0374-2007 and in a dynamic
modeŠ¾fevaporation plant for Caspian Sea water imitate. The reagent
efficiency ranking following NACE Standard gives evidently a preference
to phosphonates over polymers: ATMP~HEDP>PESA (400-1,500 Da) ~PASP
(1,000–5,000 Da)>PAAS (3,000–5,000 Da) ~MA-AA. At the same time the
kinetic tests exhibit the better efficiency of PESA and MA-AA:
PESA>MA-AA>PAAS~HEDP>ATMP~PASP. Therefore, a lot of work is
still needed to elaborate a system of laboratory tests for antiscalants
in order to provide reliable assessment and selection on their way from
laboratory to industry.
