Multiple copper-zinc alloy was used to treat water in order to restrict the formation of hard scale during heating process. Trace amounts of metal ions were dissolved from the alloy under the action of tiny battery corrosion, which took part in the crystallization of calcium carbonate crystal. The ion migration rules and its effect on the crystal structure of water scale were studied. The ICP test results show that after immersion in the water for 20 min, the zinc ion concentration increased to 0.35 mg•L-1 compared with contrast group. The simulating experiment of the scale crystal growth demonstrated that the calcium carbonate scale after treated with the alloy showed a transformation from calcite to aragonite, and the ratio of calcite to aragonite changed from 1:0.125 to 1:2.30. Meanwhile, the heat transfer efficiency was increased to 2.19%.

Abstract The effect of an applied electric field and Mg2+ doping on the formation of calcium carbonate scale in circulating cooling water was investigated by using a home-made experimental device, which can simulate the formation of scale in a local power plant. The results show that high-voltage electrostatic fields and magnesium ions can inhibit scale growth in circulating cooling water. When the magnesium ion concentration is 4 mmol/L, the scale inhibition effect is the best under the action of the electric field (6 kV), and its scale inhibition rate can reach 44.56%. Meanwhile, some phenomena are explained and confirmed by the results of first principle calculations. The calculated shear modulus of aragonite is greater than that of calcite. This might explain why aragonite adheres more easily to the heat exchange surface. This is in good agreement with experimental results. Calcite has better anti-scaling properties than aragonite. The crystal structure after physical water treatment is blunt, and the untreated crystal structure is sharp.
