ABSTRACT
The new type of phosphorus-free composite corrosion and scale inhibitor (FS) was prepared
by using thiourea-modified polyepoxysuccinic acid (CNS-PESA), polyaspartic acid (PASP),
hexamethylenetetramine, zinc chloride (ZnCl2), hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride (HPMA). This FS
inhibitor was an environmentally friendly and phosphate-free inhibitor to solve the problems of corrosion
and formation of scale in industrial circulating cooling water systems. The maximum corrosion and
scale inhibition efficiency was 99.2% and 98.9% respectively. The FS inhibitor worked effectively with
the pH between 6 to 8. Compared with other inhibitors, the composite corrosion and scale inhibitor
had great performance on the inhibition of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate scale inhibition.
Moreover, the FS inhibitor could reduce the environmental pollution problems effectively.
