Description
<p>USE OF GRAFT CO-POLYMERS IN SILICA SCALE INHIBITION</p>
<p>This invention relates to a method of inhibiting fouling by silica and silicates in aqueous systems and, in particular, to the use of graft co-polymers comprising at least three sequences of distinct chemical nature to inhibit the deposition of silica and silicate scales on surfaces.</p>
<p>Scale inhibitors are used to treat a variety of aqueous systems such as boiler water, industrial process water, cooling water and water in central heating and air conditioning systems, to prevent deposition of calcium carbonate, or other alkaline earth metal scale from hard water systems. * *</p>
<p>However, although other types of scale, for example calcium carbonate or barium sulphate scale, are well controlled, silica is now a major fouling problem in aqueous systems. Silica is difficult to inhibit as it assumes low solubility forms depending on the conditions in the aqueous system. *..*</p>
<p>For example, below pH 7 monomeric silica tends to polymerize to form ** oligomeric or colloidal silica. At a pH of above 7, for example, pH 9.5, silica can form a monomeric silicate ion. As conversion of silica into these various forms can be slow, various forms of silica can co- exist in an aqueous system at any one time, depending on the history of the system.</p>
<p>Silicate ions can react with polyvalent cations, such as magnesium and calcium, to produce salts with limited solubility. Thus in aqueous systems it is common for a mixture of forms of silica to be present: monomeric, oligomeric and colloidal silica; magnesium silicate, calcium silicate and other silicate salts.</p>
<p>It is also possible for a variety of other types of scales to co-exist with silica or silicate scales in a water system. For example there may also be present scales based around calcium, magnesium, aluminium and iron in the same water system.</p>
<p>It is an object of the present invention to ameliorate silica and/or silicate fouling of aqueous systems. The applicants have now found that grafted co-polymers comprising at least three sequences of distinct chemical nature are beneficial in the control of silica and silicate fouling in aqueous systems.</p>

<p>Evaluation of Grafted Co-polymer as Silica/Silicate Scale Inhibitor S... * S I... S...</p>
<p>The following test was employed to demonstrate the improved property of..</p>
<p>silica and silicate scale inhibition of the grafted co-polymers, in accordance with the present invention, compared with a control and other scale inhibitors. In particular, comparison was made between the use of a grafted co-polymer in accordance with the present invention and a control system containing no silica scale inhibitor and a system containing a known silica scale inhibitor (an industrial standard silica scale inhibitor known as Acumer 5000).</p>
<p>Method This test simulates conditions in an evaporative cooling system. Under these test conditions, the scale formed is found to be predominantly silica (with traces of calcium and magnesium).</p>
<p>A silica-containing water, whose composition is set out in Table 1 below, is heated, to a temperature of 55 C, and water is evaporated by bubbling air through it. The natural tendency of the pH to rise, as CO2 is purged from solution, is countered by periodic injections of CO2 as directed by a pH controller to maintain the pH at the desired value A level controller is used to maintain a constant volume of water in the apparatus by adding more feed water of the composition in Table 1. The increase in concentration of the solutes owing to the evaporation of the water is followed by analysis of the level of solutes.</p>
<p>When the target levels have been achieved (typically two to three days) . the temperature of the water is reduced to 28 C to encourage the precipitation of amorphous silica. The make-up water supply is changed to deionised water to maintain an otherwise constant composition.</p>
<p>Analytical monitoring continues for a further seven days, at which point the test is terminated. *::::*</p>

<p>The results of the above test are shown in Figures 1 to 3 and discussed below in detail.</p>
<p>In relation to the Figures the silica retention level (Si retention(%)) is a measure of the percentage of the silica still in solution. The total amount indicated is the total amount of silica retained in the test medium and includes the amount of silica dispersed but not dissolved, in addition to that dissolved. The dissolved amount indicated is defined as the amount of silica detected after passing the solution through a 0.2 micron filter.</p>
<p>Figure 1 shows the results, tabulated in Table 2, of the above described method being carried out on a water sample not having any scale inhibitor added to it. From days 1 to 3 it can be seen that the level of retained silica gradually drops as the water is evaporated and the solutes concentrated. After day 3 there is a fairly dramatic drop in the level of retained silica as the temperature of the water is decreased from 55 C to 28 oc and an amount of silica crashes out of solution. By day 10 it can be seen that there is about 69% total silica retained in the solution in a combination of dissolved and dispersed form and of that about 48% is in dissolved form. This means that about 22% of the silica has precipitated out of the solution and furthermore is not dispersed in the solution at all and is therefore stuck to the vessel holding the water as silica scale.</p>

From days 1 to 3 it can be seen that the level of retained silica generally gradually drops as the water is evaporated and the solutes concentrated. After day 3 there is a fairly dramatic drop in the level of retained silica as the temperature of the water is decreased from 55 C to 28 C and an amount of silica crashes out of solution. By day 10 it can be seen that there is about 55% total silica retained in the solution in a combination of dissolved and dispersed form and of that about 50% is in dissolved form. This means that about 45% of the silica has precipitated out of the solution and furthermore is not dispersed in the solution at all and is therefore stuck to the vessel holding the water as silica scale.</p>

From days 1 to 3 it can be seen that the level of retained silica gradually drops as the water is evaporated and the solutes concentrated. After day 3 there is a slight drop in the level of retained silica as the temperature of the water is decreased from 55 0C to 28 oc.</p>
<p>By day 10 it can be seen that there is about 92% total silica retained in the solution in a combination of dissolved and dispersed form and of that about 92% is in dissolved form. This means that about 8% of the silica has precipitated out of the solution and furthermore is not dispersed in the solution at all and is therefore stuck to the vessel holding the water as silica scale. Furthermore there is little, if any, retained silica that is not dissolved in solution present in the water sample.</p>

Figure 3 shows that the use of the co-polymer in accordance with the present invention ensures that almost all of the silica remains in solution and therefore does not form silica scale. It can be seen that with no scale inhibitor present about 22% of the silica is not retained in the solution and therefore giving rise to the formation of silica scale. It also seems that with the industry standard scale inhibitor, Acumer 5000, the situation is even worse with 44% of the silica not being retained in solution and therefore giving rise to adherent silica scale formation. 4. * * I * .. * . * I I. * * I * I 1 *I 1_I * I *SI4 I.,. * I</p>
