The performance of ZX type scale inhibitors in evaporation process of saltelectrolyte

Rapid fouling tests were used to investigate the scale-preventing property of ZX type scale inhibitors in evaporation of salt electrolyte. ZX type sca le inhibitors were tested at high temperature under the boiling conditions. The results indicate that ZX type scale inhibitors have remarkable scale p reventing performance during evaporation of salt electrolyte even at the te mperature up to 150 degreesC. Among them, ZX III type scale inhibitor is th e best with the rate of scale-preventing reaching to 88.9%. In addition, th e scale preventing mechanism of ZX type scale inhibitors was analyzed and i ts application prospect in the field of continuous commercial fouling preve nting discussed.
