試験には表1、2に示すポリマーを用いた。
<手法>
良好な防食効果を示す有機酸を探索するために、腐食試験を実施した。運転条件は、水温30℃、試験期間3日間、回転数150rpmである。具体的には、「K0100:工業用腐食性試験方法」を参考にし、撹拌子を底面に配置したビーカーに、下記の水質条件に調整された試験水を入れ、さらに、吊り下げた縦長の短冊状のテストピースを、この試験水に完全に浸漬し、撹拌子に接触しないように、ビーカーの中心付近に配置し、腐食試験を実施した。
有機酸防食効果指数が4未満の場合は腐食速度が大きく、4以上の場合は腐食速度が小さいことから、有機酸防食効果指数4を境にそれより大きな有機酸防食効果指数を持つ分子は良好な防食剤であることが分かった。これら有機酸防食効果指数4以上の有機酸グループを、防食性有機酸化合物とした。そして、試験例1で使用した有機酸のうち、有機酸防食効果指数が4以上は、グルコヘプトン酸、酒石酸、クエン酸、ムチン酸、1,2,3,4-ブタンテトラカルボン酸、イミノジリンゴ酸が認められ、これらは腐食速度0.05以下と優れた防食効果が認められた。さらにこれら有機酸防食効果指数4以上の有機酸化合物の腐食速度0.01~0.02と非常に良好であった。これらから選択される1種又は2種以上を、防食性有機酸化合物として、採用することが好ましいことが分かった。
<手法>
試験例1で良好な防食効果を示した有機酸のうちイミノジリンゴ酸を用いて、(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマー、ジカルボン酸系ポリマーとの組み合わせについて検討した。運転条件は、水温40℃、試験期間3日間、回転数150rpmである。試験水の水質条件は、カルシウム硬度 150mg/L as CaCO3、酸消費量(pH4.8) 65mg/L as CaCO3、マグネシウム硬度 50mg/L as CaCO3、塩化物イオン濃度 75mg/L、硫酸イオン濃度 75mg/L、pH 7.9に調整した。
試験に使用した材料は、上記試験例1と同様なSPCC製のテストピース(30mm×50mm×1mm)である。1Lの試験水に対し、1枚のテストピースを浸漬し、上記試験例1と同様な腐食試験を行った。試験結果の評価は、テストピースの試験前後における重量差から腐食減量を求め、上記<試験例1>の腐食速度(mm/y)を求めたときの式(ただし、比重は7.87 g/cm3)に基づき、腐食速度(mm/y)を算出して行った。
AA系ポリマー1、MA系ポリマー1、イミノジリンゴ酸単独で用いた場合は良好な防食効果が得られなかったのに対し(比較例2)、AA系ポリマー1とイミノジリンゴ酸とを併用した場合は防食効果の改善が見られた(実施例1)。さらに、MA系ポリマー1を加えて3つの剤を併用した際の防食効果は最も優れていた(実施例2)。この結果は、スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマー(好適にはスルホン基をもつアクリル酸系ポリマー)と防食性有機酸化合物との組み合わせ、ジカルボン酸系ポリマーと防食性有機酸化合物との組み合わせにより、より良好な防食効果を発揮することができると考えた。さらに、これら3成分、スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーと、ジカルボン酸系ポリマーと、防食性有機酸化合物との組み合わせにより、さらに非常に優れた防食効果を発揮することができると考えた。
<手法>
試験例2の水質条件とは異なる水質条件において、(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマー、ジカルボン酸系ポリマー、有機酸の組み合わせの防食効果を評価した。試験例3において、上記試験例1と同様な腐食試験を行った。
運転条件は、水温30℃、試験期間3日間、回転数150rpmである。水質条件は、カルシウム硬度 530 mg/L as CaCO3、酸消費量(pH4.8) 225mg/L as CaCO3、マグネシウム硬度 165mg/L as CaCO3、塩化物イオン濃度 260mg/L、硫酸イオン濃度 270mg/L、pH 8.6に調整した。試験に使用した材料は、上記試験例1と同様なSPCC製のテストピース(30mm×50mm×1mm)である。1Lの試験水に対し、1枚のテストピースを浸漬し、上記試験例1と同様な腐食試験を行った。試験結果の評価は、テストピースの試験前後における重量差から腐食減量を求め、上記<試験例1>の腐食速度(mm/y)を求めたときの式(ただし、比重は7.87 g/cm3)に基づき、腐食速度(mm/y)を算出して行った。
試験例2と比較すると全体的に腐食速度が低い傾向であったことから、水質自体が防食的であると考えられた。その中でも、AA系ポリマー1、MA系ポリマー1またはMA系ポリマー2、イミノジリンゴ酸の3種類(3成分)の組み合わせは特に良好な防食効果を示した。この結果は、ジカルボン酸系ポリマーの種類が変わっても良好な防食効果を発揮することを意味している。そして、スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマー(好適にはアクリル酸系ポリマー)と、防食性有機酸化合物と、ジカルボン酸系ポリマー(好適にはマレイン酸系ポリマー)との組み合わせが、より良好な防食効果を発揮すると考える。
<手法>
(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマー、ジカルボン酸系ポリマー、防食性有機酸化合物の組み合わせにおいて、(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーは分散剤として水質を維持しスケール防止に寄与することが考えられる。そこで、(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーの種類が試験水の析出防止に与える影響について評価した。試験水の水質はカルシウム硬度 300 mg/L as CaCO3、pH 8.5に調整し、90℃の湯浴に1時間浸漬した。試験後の水溶液の濁りを確認した。
スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーを用いることで、試験水の析出を抑制することを確認した。このころから、スルホン基を持つ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーを用いることで、伝熱面におけるスケール防止を実現し、伝熱面を含む水系における防食剤の濃度維持に寄与することが期待できる。この結果は、スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーと防食性有機酸化合物との組み合わせにより、より良好な防食効果を発揮するとともにより良好なスケール防止効果も発揮できると考えた。さらに、これら3成分、スルホン基をもつ(メタ)アクリル酸系ポリマーと、ジカルボン酸系ポリマー(好適にはマレイン酸系ポリマー)と、防食性有機酸化合物との組み合わせによって、さらに非常に優れた防食効果を発揮することができるとともにより良好なスケール防止効果も発揮できると考えた。
すなわち、水系に接する金属材料等を備える水系に、(メタ)アクリル酸とスルホン酸を単量体として有する重合体と、有機酸防食効果指数が4以上の防食性有機酸化合物との2成分を少なくとも併用することにより、より良好な水系の金属防食処理作用を発揮でき、かつ、より良好なスケール防止作用も発揮できることを見出した。さらに、(メタ)アクリル酸とスルホン酸を単量体として有する重合体、ジカルボン酸系重合体、及び有機酸防食効果指数が4以上の防食性有機酸化合物の3成分を併用することにより、非常に優れた水系の金属防食処理作用を発揮でき、かつ、より優れたスケール防止作用も発揮できることを見出した。
すなわち、本発明者らは、富栄養化及び水性毒性といった水環境への負荷となるリン化合物及び/又は金属塩化合物を利用しなくても水系の金属防食効果を発揮できるとともに、幅広い水質範囲においても適用できる、水系の金属防食処理方法及び水系の金属防食剤等を提供するという目的を達成することもできた。なお、本方法又は本剤は、水環境への負荷の低減を考慮しつつ、水系にリン化合物及び/又は金属塩化合物を利用してもよい。
