Compared with inorganic phosphonates, organic phosphonates have better chemical stability in water treatment, and are not easy to hydrolyze in higher temperature and wider pH range. In this paper, a one-step synthesis method of ethylene diamine tetra (methylene phosphonic acid) sodium (EDTMPS) and methylene phosphonic acid (DTPMPA) were studied. A new phosphate scale inhibitor was prepared and its scale inhibition performance was evaluated. The results showed that the scale inhibition rate increased with the increase of the concentration of synthetic products (EDTMPS, DTPMPA). At the same concentration, compared with DTPMPA, EDTMPS has better scale inhibition performance, and the maximum scale inhibition rate can reach 96.85%. The scale inhibition performance of composite scale inhibitor is better than that of single scale inhibitor, and the scale inhibition rate of the synthesized products can reach more than 90% after compounding. And inhibitory mechanism has been proposed: Because phosphonates effectively control the rate of nucleation. In addition, polyphosphonates can chelate Ca2+, Mg2+ plasma to form monocyclic or bicyclic chelates. This will destroy the normal growth process of calcium carbonate and other crystals, thus preventing the formation of calcium carbonate scale.

Phosphorus scale inhibitor is a kind of agent which can disperse insoluble inorganic salts in water, prevent or interfere with the precipitation and scaling of insoluble inorganic salts on metal surface, and maintain better heat transfer effect of metal equipment. Sodium triethylenetetramine hexamethylphosphonate (TETHMPS) and tetraethylenepentamine heptagon methylene phosphonic (TEPHMPS) were prepared by one-step synthesis method. The effects of temperature, concentration and mixing ratio on scale inhibition were investigated. The results showed that as the concentration of TETHMPS and TEPHMPS increases, the scale inhibition rate increases. At the same temperature, compared with TETHMPS, TEPHMPS has better scale inhibition performance, and the maximum scale inhibition rate can reach 93.59%. The scale inhibition rate of the synthesized scale inhibitor at 80 °C is better than that at 60 °C. The scale inhibition performance of the compound scale inhibitor is better than that of the single scale inhibitor, showing an ideal synergistic effect. When the concentration is 60 mg/L, the scale inhibition rate of TETHMPS is 94.26%, TEPHMPS is 94.55%, and the scale inhibition rate is above 91%.

A copolymer was prepared from epoxy succinic acid (ESA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS). The structure of the ESA/AMPS copolymer was characterized by means of FTIR. The performances of scale inhibition, dispersion and biodegradability of the ESA/AMPS copolymer were studied. The results showed that the scale inhibition performance of the ESA/AMPS copolymer on calcium phosphate and dispersing performance on ferric oxide were much better than PESA. The scale inhibition rate on calcium carbonate was 85% when the ESA/AMPS copolymer was 8mg/L. The scale inhibition rate on calcium phosphate was 65% when the ESA/AMPS copolymer was 30mg/L. The ESA/AMPS copolymer had good biodegradation performance and biodegradation rate could reach 65% after 28 days.

Intermediate vector polysuccinimide (PSI) was prepared by polymerization of malefic acid and ammonia at 180°Cin this article. Hydrophilic polyaspartic acid (PASP) derivative was prepared from amino-sulfonic and PSI; Lipophilic PASP derivative was prepared from PSI and diisopropylamine. Their scale inhibition rates of calcium carbonate were evaluated by static scale experiments. The inhibition rate of calcium carbonate was 90.2% when n(amino-sulfonic): n(PSI) =1:14 and the dosage of pharmaceutical was 12mg / L. The inhibition rate of calcium carbonate was 87.6% when n(diisopropylamine):n(PSI)=1:8 and the dosage of pharmaceutical was 15mg /L. The calcium carbonate that collected from static state experiments was analysised by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that polyaspartic acid derivatives were synthesized which had the best overall performance when n (amino-sulfonic): n (PSI) = 1:14.

The terpolymer was synthesized by maleic anhydride (MA), acrylic acid (AA) and methyl acrylate (MAC) and the structure was also conformed. Its scale inhibition effect was also studied in high barium and strontium ion concentration aqueous medium and simulated formation water (Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Si2+) condition. The results indicate that when additive amount of AA/MAC/MA is 60 mg/L, the inhibition rate is up to 100% and 80% for BaSO4 scale and SrSO4 scale respectively, but only 50% for calcium scale. And the scale inhibition rate moderately increases with the dosage increasing. The scale inhibition effect of AA/MAC/MA is also very obvious in simulated formation water containing low calcium ions (400 mg/L) and high barium ions (500 mg/L) as well as strontium ions (500 mg/L). It can satisfy the need of restraining composite scale (BaSO4 scale and SrSO4 scale as well as CaSO4 scale) in high calcium and barium strontium ion aqueous medium when compounded with calcium scale inhibitors CY and CX respectively.

A new terpolymer named β-CD-MA-SSS was produced using free-radical polymerization of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), maleic-anhydride (MA) and sodium-styrene-sulfonate (SSS) as monomers, with potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator. Its performance as a scale inhibitor to prevent deposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has been investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that β-CD-MA-SSS performed excellent scale inhibition and exhibited a high conversion rate under the following conditions: initiator consisting of 6%, molar ratio of reaction monomers SSS:MA = 0.8:1, MA:β-CD = 6:1, reaction temperature of 80 °C, reaction time of 6 h, and dropping time of 40 min when MA was dosed as a substrate, and SSS and KPS were dosed as dropping reactants simultaneously. Use of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer for this inhibitor showed that the polymerization reaction had taken place with the reaction monomers under the above specified conditions. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that the β-CD-MA-SSS had a strong chelating ability for calcium (Ca2+) and a good dispersion ability for calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Poly acrylic acid (PAA) and polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) were investigated as scale inhibitors. The static experiments certified that PAA was superior to PESA for the inhibition of calcium carbonate in the low molecular weight range. The X-ray diffraction patterns suggest that the effect of PAA on the calcite (1 0 4) and (1 1 0) crystal plane was more obvious. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the surface morphology of the depositions, which indicated that the addition of scale inhibitors could disturb the normal growth of CaCO3 scale. The transmittance ratio of ferric oxide demonstrated that PAA had a better dispersion performance than PESA. The molecular dynamics simulation and quantum calculation were selected to theoretically explore the mechanism and structure of scale inhibitors, indicating that the interaction of PAA with (1 0 4) and (1 1 0) calcite crystal surfaces was stronger than PESA. In addition, the results indicated that the PAA with negative charge more easily adsorbed free Ca2+ in the aqueous phase. Based on these observations, PAA exhibited better scale inhibition and dispersion effects than PESA in the case of low molecular weight.

The deposition of BaSO4scale is always found in the oilfield. It is difficult to be removed. Therefore, it plays a negative role to the production. The effects of temperature and water chemistry on BaSO4scale have been investigated by using the conductivity method in this work. An environment-friendly copolymer was prepared to control the scaling of BaSO4. The copolymer was proved by static scale inhibition method, and weight-loss test that it has excellent scale inhibition performance and corrosion inhibition efficiency. Furthermore, FTIR spectra was used to prove that the scale inhibitor was polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA).
