Preparation of Film-Forming Amine Emulsion as Boiler Water Treatment Agent

Abstract

In this study, the preparation method of the film-forming amine emulsion is explored by changing the sequence of different reagents, OLDA concentration, experimental temperature and OLDA/cyclohexylamine ratio. The stability of the film-forming amine emulsions prepared under different conditions is studied by observing if the emulsion delamination occurred after standing for several days. Results indicate that the sequence of different reagents, OLDA concentration, experimental temperature and OLDA/cyclohexylamine ratio affect the formation and stability of the film-forming amine emulsion obviously. The maximum content of OLDA in the film-forming amine emulsion could reach to 1.5 wt%, OLDA/cyclohexylamine ratio could be changed from 1:1 to 1:2.5, and room temperature could be as the experimental temperature. The stable film-forming amine emulsion could be prepared under the optimal conditions.
