In the production processes of industries such as chemical engineering, power generation, and metallurgy, water treatment agents act as invisible guardians, ensuring stable equipment operation and enhancing production efficiency through professional "water quality regulation". From circulating cooling water systems to industrial wastewater treatment, they solve various water quality problems in industrial production processes with precise mechanisms.
Thermal power plants' circulating cooling water systems are prone to corrosion and scaling. Corrosion and scale inhibitors effectively prevent the corrosion of carbon steel and stainless steel equipment and reduce scale deposition by forming films on metal surfaces and chelating scale-forming ions in water. The combination of organic phosphonates and polycarboxylic acids can keep the corrosion rate of cooling water pipes at a low level, significantly reducing energy consumption caused by equipment wear and increased thermal resistance.
Chemical production wastewater often contains heavy metal ions and refractory organic compounds. Heavy metal chelating agents can efficiently remove pollutants such as mercury, cadmium, and lead by forming insoluble complexes through chelation reactions. Advanced oxidation water treatment agents can utilize the strong oxidizing power of hydroxyl radicals to degrade large organic molecules into small ones, thereby improving the biodegradability of wastewater and facilitating the compliance of pollutant emissions.
The food processing and pharmaceutical industries have strict requirements for water quality. Anti-scaling agents for reverse osmosis prevent calcium and magnesium ions from crystallizing on the membrane surface through dispersion and lattice distortion, maintaining the water permeability and desalination performance of reverse osmosis membrane elements and ensuring that production water meets high standards.
As industries gradually move towards green development, water treatment agent technology is evolving towards high efficiency, low consumption, and environmental friendliness. New products such as biocatalysts and nanomaterials, with their specific catalytic and high specific surface area adsorption properties, are driving innovations in industrial water treatment technology and continuously promoting the coordinated development of industrial production and ecological protection.
