PBTCA is an organic acid chaical widely used in the field of water treatment, and its full name is 2-phospho-1-butanol tricarboxylic acid.
Its main functions and uses include the following aspects:
1. Chelation: Phosphate (PO4) -3 in PBTCA can form stable complexes with
metal ions, thereby preventing metal ions from precipitating and
scaling in water. In addition, PBTCA can also coordinate with calcium ions to form soluble complexes,
improving the hardness of water and avoiding various problas caused by
scale formation.
2. Corrosion inhibition effect: PBTCA can form a protective film to
cover the metal surface, preventing oxidation and corrosion of the
metal. This is because the phosphate ions in PBTCA can form a stable
complex with metal ions, reducing the rate of metal corrosion.
3. Anti scaling effect: PBTCA has the ability to prevent the formation
of scale, especially for silicates and calcium salts, which have good
anti scaling effects and can effectively prevent the formation of scale
and the problas caused.
4. Cleaning effect: PBTCA can degrade the already formed scale and raove
and inhibit the formation of accumulated mud and dirt in the
circulating water systa, avoiding pipeline blockage and accelerating
equipment aging.
5. Safety and Environmental Protection: PBTCA has low toxicity and
biodegradability, meets environmental requiraents, is easy to operate
and handle, is safe and reliable, and will not cause long-term impact on
the environment.
In summary, PBTCA has various functions in water treatment, such as
chelation, corrosion inhibition, and scale prevention, which can
effectively prevent the occurrence of scale and corrosion problas,
ensure water quality, improve water recycling efficiency, and extend
equipment life. Meanwhile, PBTCA is environmentally friendly and an
ideal water treatment agent.
