Abstract:

Facing the scaling problem in nanofiltration process of treating underground brine in Laizhou bay,the scaling tendency and effective factors of calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate of the brine were systematically studied by using saturation method in the nanofiltration process.Result showed that calcium carbonate was in a state of saturation,while the calcium sulfate was not in the brine at a room temperature.Consequently,calcium carbonate was more likely to precipitate when the brine was affected by external factors.Reducing the pH of the brine could effectively inhibit calcium carbonate scaling.Increasing the recovery rate of brine production gradually,the risk of calcium sulfate in the concentrated side of nanofiltartion system was increased.Therefore,it was necessary to select an appropriate recovery rate of brine production to reduce the scaling of calcium sulfate in the nanoflitration process.

Key words: brine, nanofiltration, scaling, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate
