Vitreous Copper-Containing Phosphate Compounds for Feed Water Treatment in Central Heating Systems
摘要
The study presents the results of the investigation of the properties (solubility, anti-scaling, anti-corrosion, algicidal, and bactericidal) of a glassy copper-containing phosphate compounds (Cu–Zn phosphate, Cu–Zn–PC). These compounds are obtained using a zero-waste ecological technology for the purpose of corrective treatment of feed water in central heating systems. The study identifies a synergistic effect resulting from the combined presence of long-chain phosphates and alternating copper and zinc cations in the composition. This effect strengthens and evenly distributes the protective film on the surface of the system components, providing maximum effectiveness in combating scale, corrosion, and biofouling.
