Abstract

This study studied the synergistic anti-scaling performance of composite scale inhibitor and efficient electromagnetic anti-scaling instrument. And experiments were conducted to investigate the anti-scaling performance of composite scale inhibitor and anti-scaling performance and mechanism of efficient electromagnetic anti-scaling instrument, respectively. The crystallization of CaCO₃ was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The experimental results showed that the highest anti-scaling rate of composite scale inhibitor (1#) was 80.68% and highest anti-scaling rate of composite scale inhibitor (2#) was 76.53%, average anti-scaling rate of efficient electromagnetic anti-scaling instrument was 51.46%. Efficient electromagnetic anti-scaling instrument promoted CaCO₃ crystallization process and promoted calcite into aragonite. When efficient electromagnetic anti-scaling instrument worked with composite scale inhibitor, synergistic anti-scaling rate of composite scale inhibitor (1#) had a 15% higher than composite scale inhibitor (1#) and synergistic anti-scaling rate of composite scale inhibitor (2#) had a 20% higher than composite scale inhibitor (2#).
