Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of inhibiting fouling by silica and silicates in aqueous systems and, in particular, to the use of phosphorus containing compounds to inhibit the deposition of silica and silicate scales on surfaces.
- 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.
- 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. For example, below pH 7 monomeric silica tends to polymerize to form oligomeric or colloidal silica. At pH's 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.
- Silicate ions can react with polyvalent cations, such as magnesium and calcium, to produce salts with limited solubility.
- polyvalent cations such as magnesium and calcium
- Silicate ions can react with polyvalent cations, such as magnesium and calcium, to produce salts with limited solubility.
- a mixture of forms of silica 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.
- Silica scale inhibitors are known per se from EP 0 459 661. It is an object of the present invention to ameliorate silica and/or silicate fouling of aqueous systems.
- the known scale inhibitors such as those disclosed in EP 0 861 846 B, EP 0 491 391 B and WO 00/18695 have improved properties for the control of silica and silicate fouling in aqueous systems over current silica/silicate scale inhibitors.
- the present invention provides a method of inhibiting silica and silicate scale in aqueous systems, which method comprises the addition to the aqueous system of a scale inhibiting amount of a phosphorus-containing additive, the additive being selected from at least one or more of:
- X is H or an alkaline metal, alkaline earth or other polyvalent metal, ammonium or an organic base
- n is the valency of X
- R is a polymeric chain comprising between 1 and 100,000 groups derived from at least one unsaturated compound in which the multiple bond is activated chemically by an adjacent electron withdrawing group
- Y and Z which may be the same or different, are each hydrogen, a PO 3 X 2 , SO 3 X or CO 2 X group or an alkyl or aryl moiety; (2) a compound comprising ring opened ethanolamine bis (methylene phosphonate) or one or more N-oxides thereof;
- the phosphorus-containing additives may be added to said aqueous system at a concentration of from between 0.1 to 1000 ppm.
- the aqueous system may be, for example:
- aqueous system used in the desalination of water a method of desalination is selected from one or more of:
- the present invention also provides phosphorus-containing additives for use as silica and/or silicate scale inhibitors in aqueous systems, in accordance with the method hereinabove described.
- silica and silicate scale inhibition of phosphorus containing compounds were employed, in accordance with the present invention, compared with other scale inhibitors.
- silicate scale inhibitor a terpolymer of acrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2- methylpropanesulphonic acid and tertiary-butylacrylamide - hereafter referred to as AA/ AMPS/t-BAm
- the pH of this solution was adjusted to 8.5 at 25 2 C with HC1 and stored in a sealed container for at least one week before the test.
- the pH of the mix was then adjusted to 8.0 ⁇ 0.05 at 25 S C by the addition of 0.1M HC1 via an "Autotitrator" .
- the test solution was then transferred to a polyethylene bottle and placed in a thermostatic water bath at 70 2 C for a period of 30 minutes. After this time the bottle was removed and allowed to cool for one hour before the contents were filtered through a 0.45 micron 'Millipore' filter.
- concentrations of silicon, calcium and magnesium remaining in solution were then determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma spectroscopy (ICP) .
