Description

  The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor and a corrosion suppression method for a boiler water system that suppresses corrosion of a metal that comes into contact with water in a boiler water system in which steam from a boiler comes into contact with food and medicine.

  Steel materials are mainly used as constituent materials that come into contact with water such as boiler drums, evaporator pipes, economizers, deaerators, various heat exchangers and piping in steam / condensate systems in boiler water systems. Copper materials such as oxygen-free copper, phosphorous deoxidized copper, aluminum brass, admiralty brass, and cupronickel are mainly used as heat transfer tube materials for condensers and feed water preheaters in water supply systems and condensate systems. In a normal boiler water system, steel and copper are mixed. The solubility of iron and copper hydroxides and oxides decreases as the temperature rises, and the solubility of iron and copper hydroxides and oxides is sufficiently high in water supply and condensate with a water temperature of 200 ° C. or lower. In such a condition that the water temperature exceeds 200 ° C., the solubility becomes small. As a result, iron ions and copper ions eluted from the steel and copper materials of the water supply system and the condensate system reprecipitate as iron and copper hydroxides and oxides mainly in the evaporation pipes in the boiler. Precipitates in the evaporation tube not only increase heat consumption and decrease the amount of steam generated, but also cause secondary condensation due to the concentration of alkali and acid in the gap between the precipitate and the tube surface. It can also cause corrosion. Therefore, suppressing the elution of iron ions and copper ions from steel materials and copper materials in the water supply system and the condensate system is an important problem from the safe operation and economical aspects of the boiler water system.

  The corrosion reaction of steel and copper materials proceeds electrochemically. For example, oxygen dissolved in water causes elution of iron ions and copper ions from steel and copper materials by extracting electrons from iron and copper on the metal surface of steel and copper materials to generate hydroxide ions. Promote (oxygen reduction reaction). On the other hand, hydrogen ions in water pull out electrons from iron and copper on the metal surface of steel and copper to become hydrogen, thereby promoting the reaction of steel and copper releasing electrons to dissolve as iron and copper ions. (Hydrogen reduction reaction). In oxygen reduction reaction type corrosion, corrosion can be prevented by removing dissolved oxygen in water, but hydrogen ions due to dissociation of water always exist, and thus hydrogen reduction reaction type corrosion cannot be completely suppressed. In particular, in a system having a high temperature such as a boiler water system, the dissociation constant of water becomes large, and hydrogen reduction reaction type corrosion tends to occur. For example, although the pH of pure water at 25 ° C. is 7, the pH of pure water at 100 ° C. is decreased to 6.15 and to 5.6 at 250 ° C. Even in this case, if the pH of the water is increased to lower the hydrogen ion concentration, the corrosion is reduced, and if the pH is raised to a pH range where iron and copper hydroxides and oxides are stable, these waters are reduced. Oxides and oxides become protective films, reducing corrosion. In addition, the increase in pH is also effective in suppressing erosion / corrosion and flow-induced corrosion.

  However, excessively high pH is not preferable because the protective film such as copper hydroxide and oxide is redissolved. Therefore, conventionally, processing for removing dissolved oxygen in water and adjusting the pH of feed water, boiler water, and condensate to appropriate values has been performed in order to suppress corrosion of the boiler water system. For example, it is known that corrosion of steel materials in a water supply system and a condensate system can be reduced by adding ammonia to make the pH of the water supply and condensate 9.0 or more (for example, Non-Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 2). reference). On the other hand, ammonia generates a stable water-soluble chelate compound with copper at a high pH and promotes corrosion of the copper material. To prevent ammonia corrosion of the copper material, the pH of the feed water and condensate is 9.0 or less. (See, for example, Non-Patent Document 3). Therefore, it was difficult to prevent corrosion of both the steel material and the copper material at the same time regardless of the pH range. From the concern about ammonia corrosion of copper materials, a method of using volatile amines such as morpholine and 2-aminoethanol as a pH increasing agent has been disclosed (for example, see Non-Patent Document 4). However, although morpholine has a small distribution ratio to the gas phase and easily dissolves in the initial condensing part of the vapor system, it has a problem that a large amount of addition is necessary to maintain pH above 9.0 because of its low pH increasing ability. was there. In addition, since 2-aminoethanol has a distribution ratio to the gas phase that is too small, a concentrated amine solution is generated in the initial condensing part and alkali corrosion is likely to occur in the initial condensing part. Furthermore, even if these volatile amines are used, the corrosion of the copper material has not been sufficiently suppressed when the pH exceeds 9.0.

  In addition to the above-described problems, a boiler water system in which steam from a boiler comes into contact with food or medicine has a problem of safety of a boiler additive added for the purpose of inhibiting corrosion. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), morpholine, cyclohexylamine, diethylaminoethanol, and octadecylamine do not exceed the specified concentration as a boiler additive in which steam from boilers comes into contact with foods and medicines except milk and dairy products. It is certified for use, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) uses 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol in addition to the above compounds for foods and pharmaceuticals where steam excludes milk and dairy products. It is certified to be used as an additive in boilers that come into contact with. Therefore, in Japan, these amine compounds are used as additives for boilers that come into contact with food and pharmaceuticals. However, these amine compounds are not used in food additives specified by the Food Sanitation Law. Not certified.

  Ammonia is certified as a food additive, but has the disadvantage of promoting copper corrosion as described above. Morpholine fatty acid salt is certified as a food additive, and a method of adding morpholine fatty acid salt to inhibit corrosion of steam piping and condensate piping is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). This is not preferable because it causes boiler water forming. A steam condensate anticorrosion method characterized by adding an emulsion emulsified with vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, sesame oil and olive oil to steam or condensate (patent) However, in a boiler in which condensate is recovered as a part of feed water, these oils and fats are mixed in the boiler water and hydrolyzed into fatty acid soap due to high temperature and high pH, which is not preferable. For this reason, JIS B8223 1999 "Boiler feed water and boiler water quality" indicates that it is desirable to keep the fats and oils in the feed water low.

  The boiler which is the target of the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion suppression method of the present invention is a boiler having a vapor pressure of 20 MPa or less in which steam from the boiler comes into contact with food or medicine, and there is no particular limitation on the type thereof.

Here, “indirect contact” means, for example, food or medicine in dishes or containers sterilized and cleaned with steam containing the corrosion inhibitor of the present invention indirectly contacts the corrosion inhibitor. That is. The water system is a water system that flows through the boiler system including the steam / condensate system from the supply system of the boiler related to makeup water, feed water, condensate, boiler circulating water, and steam.

Since it decomposes, a sufficient corrosion inhibition effect cannot be obtained.

  Ion exchange water, softened water, and reverse osmosis membrane permeated water can be used as boiler replenishment water that is the subject of the corrosion inhibitor and corrosion inhibition method of the present invention, and ion exchange water is particularly preferred. Ion-exchanged water is water obtained by treating softened water, industrial water, tap water, groundwater, etc. with ion-exchange resin. The quality of the water is JIS B8223: 2006 “Boiler supply water and boiler water quality”. Specified for each operating pressure.

As these amine compounds, commercially available ones can be used as they are. For example, piperidine, pyrrolidine, isopentylamine, phenethylamine, and butylamine are available from Guangei Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

  The amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention is a component that is naturally present in food and is a source of food fragrance, for example, piperidine is hop oil, coffee, It is present in processed foods such as salted products such as barley and cinnamon, malt, cheese and other foods, pyrrolidine is radish, cheese, coffee, corn, malt, hop oil, etc., isopentylamine is truffle, madridake, Wine, rhubarb, coffee, kale, etc. Phenethylamine is cheese, processed fish products, wine, cabbage, cocoa, beer, etc. Butylamine is naturally present in foods such as kale, cheese, wine, caviar, bread, ginger To do. In addition, these amine compounds are added as food additives for the purpose of reproducing aroma and improving the flavor in processed foods such as alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, frozen dairy products, confectionery, and sauces. The concentrations of these amine compounds in boiler feed water, boiler steam, boiler condensate and condensate usually do not exceed the concentration of amine compounds contained in these foods.

  The amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention is added for the purpose of increasing the pH of feed water, condensate and condensed water in order to suppress corrosion of metal materials in the boiler water system. The pH (25 ° C.) of water supply, condensate and condensed water after adding the amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor of the present invention or the corrosion inhibitor of the present invention is usually in the range of 7.0 to 9.8. Yes, preferably in the range of 8.5-9.5, more preferably in the range of 9.0-9.3. If the pH of the feed water is less than 7.0, the corrosion inhibition effect of the steel material or the copper material is lowered, which is not preferable.

  The addition amount of the amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention may be appropriately determined in consideration of the concentration of dissolved carbonic acid and impurities in the feed water, but when makeup water is ion-exchanged water The amount is usually in the range of 0.5 to 8 mg / L with respect to the amount of makeup water. When makeup water is softened water or reverse osmosis membrane permeated water, bicarbonate ions and carbonate ions originally contained in the raw water are not removed by the softening device, and these components are hydrolyzed into carbonic acid in boiler water. The amount of amine compound added to increase the pH in the condensed water increases. In this case, the required addition amount of the amine compound depends on the carbonic acid concentration in the steam, but the addition amount of the amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention relative to the amount of makeup water is usually 1 to 50 mg / L. Range.

  Since the amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention is volatile, it can be added to any part of the boiler water system of the make-up water system, feed water system, steam / condensate system. The pH hardly changes, so it may be added anywhere in the boiler water system.

Specifically showing the addition method of the amine compound used in the corrosion inhibitor of the present invention or the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention,
(1) A method of injecting using a chemical injection pump or the like so that the pH falls within a set range based on the measured value of a pH meter installed in the water supply system,
(2) The relationship between electrical conductivity and pH is obtained in advance, and based on the measured value of the electrical conductivity meter installed in the water supply system, the electrical conductivity is set in a range corresponding to the pH range. A method of infusion using a chemical infusion pump or the like,
Etc. In this case, chemical solution injection may be an automatic injection method.

  On the other hand, the pH of boiler water is usually adjusted to a range of 8.5 to 12.0, but corrosion is likely to occur if the pH is too low or too high. Appropriate values of the boiler water pH for each boiler type and operating pressure are defined in, for example, JIS B8223: 2006 “Boiler Supply Water and Boiler Water Quality”. In a boiler where the working pressure of the boiler exceeds 2 MPa, it is preferable to adjust the pH to about 8.5 to 11.0. However, in order to prevent alkaline corrosion, it is preferable to keep the upper limit of the pH lower as the working pressure is higher. .

  In boilers with a steam pressure exceeding 3 MPa, alkaline corrosion is likely to occur when potassium salts such as potassium hydroxide and potassium phosphate are used. Therefore, as alkali metal hydroxides, sodium hydroxide and alkali metal phosphates are used. It is preferable to use sodium salts such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate.

Alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal phosphates may be used alone or in admixture of two or more. For example, when the treatment method defined in JIS B8223: 2006 is “phosphate treatment”, the type and blending ratio of the alkali metal phosphate so that the Na / PO ₄ molar ratio is 3.0 or less. These are used after adjusting, or an alkali metal hydroxide and an alkali metal phosphate are used in combination. When the treatment method defined in JIS B8223: 2006 is “alkaline treatment”, an alkali metal hydroxide is used, or an alkali is used so that the (Na + K) / PO ₄ molar ratio exceeds 3.0. A combination of a metal hydroxide and an alkali metal phosphate is used.

  The addition amount of the alkali metal hydroxide or the alkali metal phosphate is adjusted so that the pH of the boiler water falls within the pH management range defined in JIS B8223: 2006. Further, in JIS B8223: 2006, the concentration of phosphate ions to be retained in the boiler water is defined by the boiler type, pressure, treatment method, etc., so that the phosphate ion concentration in the boiler water falls within a predetermined management range. The amount of alkali metal phosphate added is adjusted.

  The corrosion inhibitor of the present invention is prepared by dissolving one or more amine compounds selected from piperidine, pyrrolidine, isopentylamine, phenethylamine, and butylamine in a water-soluble solvent. The water-soluble solvent that can be used is not particularly limited as long as it is a solvent that is generally used for chemicals added to the boiler water system, but is usually water. The quality of the water is comparable to the quality of the makeup water of the boiler that is the target of the corrosion inhibitor and the corrosion inhibition method of the present invention.

In the process of preparing the corrosion inhibitor of the present invention, it may be prepared by mixing and neutralizing a reducing compound in an acid form with sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, amine, etc. together with water. Alternatively, an unneutralized reducing compound selected from erythorbic acid, ascorbic acid, sulfurous acid, gallic acid, and tannins is neutralized with the amine compound of the present invention selected from piperidine, pyrrolidine, isopentylamine, phenethylamine, and butylamine. It may be used in the form of an amine salt.

  The amount of the reducing compound added in the present invention varies depending on the type of the reducing compound and the dissolved oxygen concentration in the feed water and condensate, but preferably 3-6 wt. Of erythorbate with respect to 1 part by weight of the dissolved oxygen. Parts, 3-6 parts by weight of ascorbate, 4-6 parts by weight of sulfite compound, 2-4 parts by weight of gallate, and 3-6 parts by weight of tannins.
