Electromagnetic Field Acting on the Scale Inhibition Experiment and Mechanism on Circulating Cooling Water of Power Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

The scale-inhibition effect of electromagnetic field was tested on circulating cooling water of power plant, and then the scale sample was analyzed by SEM and XRD. The results showed that, under optimum scale-inhibition conditions, aragonite content increased and calcite content decreased, and scale-inhibition rate was up to 78.2%; under the poorest conditions, both aragonite and calcite crystals existed, and the scale-inhibition rate was-201.0%; after treating with electromagnetic field, size of both calcite and aragonite particles decreased, making them more easily flown away and thus showing better overall scale-inhibition effect; when energy provided by the electromagnetic field was more than the decrease in free energy of the system, extra energy turns the calcite CaCO3 into other forms of metastable crystalline phases, then content of different crystalline phases is changed in favor of scale inhibition.
