Inhibition of calcium carbonate and sulfate scales by a non-phosphorus terpolymer AA-APEY-AMPS

Synthesis and property study of a polyether tercopolymer scale inhibitor with carboxyl and sulfonic acid groups

“…In addition, the side chain with CH 2 CH 2 O makes AA-APEC-Ca excellently soluble. A similar inference is also mentioned in the report of Bu et al In addition to the above, Bu et al 32 explains that SO 3 H also enhances the solubility of the polymer. The inhibition of calcium scaling by the combined effect of multiple functional groups is shown by the change in crystal morphology from SEM and XRD results.…”

“…From the results of other scholars, this polymer inhibitor is also very promising in inhibiting other scales. For example, IA-AMPS-APEG 33 shows a maximum inhibition rate of 85.69% (22 mg/L) for CaSO 4 scale, and AA-APEY-AMPS 32 has an efficiency of up to 100% (5 mg/L). The efficiency is 99.89% on Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 when use 6 mg/L of AA-APEC.…”

Performance of green antiscalants and their mixtures in controlled calcium carbonate precipitation conditions reproducing industrial cooling circuits

“…Polymer additives have been widely studied, for their effect on dispersion of suspended matter to reduce clogging and on inhibition of scaling ( Hasson et al, 2011 ;Bu et al, 2016 ).…”

Performance on calcium scales inhibition in the presence of a novel double-hydrophilic block terpolymer

“…Among them, it is worth noting that calcium scales are considered the most frequent with the use of water for cooling purposes which has high temperature and elevated concentration, such as calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate [1][2][3][4]. Once calcium scales adsorb onto the surface of the equipment, the heat transfer exchange of the systems will be hindered seriously, the service lifetime of the equipment will be shortened and they will even increase the cost of production [5,6].…”
