Scale consists of insoluble inorganic compounds such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate.0x2   Antiscalants   Prevent scale formation entirely or Permit the scale to be deposited in such a way that it is easily removed by the fluid flowing along the pipe or heat transfer surface. Antiscalants complex with the cations present in water to prevent formation of the insoluble inorganic solids.0i26    J  Polyacrylate    Polyacrylate (PAC) is one of the most common scale inhibitors. PAC is a polyanion. "ZZ6   =   5 Polyelectrolytes  Are polymers with bound positive or negative charges Are also called macroions or polyions Can be polyanions or polycations Are generally water soluble polymers if their structure is linear 0Z2nF            D   Polyanions    <Synthesis of Polyacrylic Acid and Conversion to Polyacrylate=<$,       $PAC as an Antiscalant or Dispersant%$(     Polymeric antiscalants are generally low molecular weight polymers. Polymeric dispersants consist of higher molecular weight fractions. Dispersants do not stop the formation of scale, but instead are able to keep the scale particles suspended in the bulk fluid by imparting a negative charge to the particles. PAC comprises 5% of many laundry detergent formulations because of its dispersant properties.0Z2      Crosslinked PAC   A crosslinked form of the sodium salt of polyacrylic acid is used as a superabsorbant material in diapers and other personal hygiene products. Crosslinked PAC has a great affinity for water, but is unable to dissolve and will instead swell in aqueous solution. Because of the presence of the charged groups on the polymer chain of a polyelectrolyte, the polymer will be highly expanded in aqueous solution. 2        9       ; Crosslinking Agent     FComparison of Dry Crosslinked Polymer with Swollen Crosslinked PolymerGF(6         PAC and the Environment   PAC is nontoxic and environmentally benign, but it is not biodegradable. Because it is widely used for many applications, it poses an environmental problem from a landfill perspective. When PAC is used as an antiscalant or a dispersant, it becomes part of wastewater. PAC is nonvolatile and not biodegradable, so the only way to remove it from the water is to precipitate it as an insoluble sludge. The sludge must then be landfilled.6        %Green Chemistry Thermal Polyaspartate&u4     The Donlar Corporation developed an economic way to produce thermal polyaspartate (TPA) in high yield and with little or no waste products. Polyaspartate is a biopolymer synthesized from L-aspartic acid, a natural amino acid. Polyaspartate has similar properties to the polyacrylates and so it can be used as a dispersant, or an antiscalant, or a superabsorber. Polyaspartate is biodegradeable.x  9  :  $       -            "Synthesis of Thermal Polyaspartate#"(     Green Chemistry in ACTION,u4 u4  "In April 1997, Donlar opened the world's largest manufacturing facility for biodegradable polyaspartates, in Peru, Illinois. The opening of this facility resulted in commercial availability of TPA. TPA is marketed and sold as a corrosion and scale inhibitor, a dispersing agent, a waste water additive, a superabsorber, and also as an agricultural polymer. As an agricultural polymer, TPA is used to enhance fertilizer uptake by plants. Less fertilizer is added to the soil and the environmental impact from fertilizer run-off is reduced.##x  D    '  R  g  Donlar Corporation   nA small company founded in 1990 that is committed to producing environmentally friendlier products. The Donlar Corporation received the first Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award in the small business category in 1996. Donlar has received several U.S. and foreign patents for the manufacture, composition and end use of their bioenvironmental technology.o0xAo6h  w     @8D(  Dl D C jP   $ D C A TMPTA.gif 0000E896 Macintosh HD ABA78158:L H D 0޽h ? 33rmF]gIFiRdO)4PictureslPowerPoint Document(71jSummaryInformation([  !"#$%&'()*+,-./012345689:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZs\]^_`abcdefghilmnopqryz{|}~DocumentSummaryInformation8kCurrent UserP(_ jRegistered User Registered User
