Sumario: | [Image: see text] The conventional ferrocyanide complex ([Fe(CN)(6)](4–)) has been widely used as a scale inhibitor under mild conditions, but its oxidation at high temperature compromises the subsequent wastewater treatment processes. To conquer the inadequacies of Fe(CN)(6)](4–), aminotriacetamide (NTA) was synthesized using chloroacetic acid as an initial material and its molecular structure was characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, H-NMR, and TGA. NTA was exploited in combination with polyaspartic acid (PASP) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) to prepare a high-performance antisalt composite, and the scaling inhibitor performance was evaluated. The results revealed that as the concentration of the antisalt composite increased from 0.5 to 1.2 wt %, the solubility and inhibition rate increased by 95.6 and 12.33%, respectively, at 100 °C. The results from molecular simulation evidenced that the order of binding energy between a unit mass of the salt inhibitor and sodium chloride crystal increased in the following order; SDBS > NTA > PASP. The deformation strength between the salt inhibitor and sodium chloride crystal increased as follows: NTA > PASP > SDBS. In addition, the antisalt composite mainly hampered salt precipitation through strong adsorptions arising from both the nitrogen atom of NTA and oxygen atom of SDBS with the sodium atom of sodium chloride crystals, and as a result, it not only altered the crystalline form of sodium chloride but also reduced the adsorption of sodium atoms and eventually improved the salt solubility. |
