Abstract
A preparation method and use of a modified hydroxyethyl cellulose scale inhibitor for inhibiting silica scale are provided. The scale inhibitor is prepared by grafting reaction with hydroxyethyl cellulose as a raw material, ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methyl acrylamide as a graft monomer. The grafting reaction can introduce grafting chains containing amide group and tertiary amine group into a cellulose molecular chain, so that it can effectively disperse scale forming substances and obtain the efficient environment-friendly scale inhibitor. The scale inhibitor can effectively inhibit the generation of silica scale and prevent the increase of scale particle size, the scale inhibitor is used in a reverse osmosis system, which can effectively alleviate the decline of the membrane flux. The scale inhibitor has a good application prospect in controlling the silica scale on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane.
