ATMP 50% (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid, 50% concentration) is a common organophosphonate compound and an important variety in water treatment agents and metal corrosion inhibitors. The following is detailed information about it:
Basic Information
- Chemical Name: Amino Tris (methylene Phosphonic Acid) (abbreviated as ATMP)
- Molecular Formula: C3H12NO9P3
- Structural Formula: N(CH2PO3H2)3 (The molecule contains 3 phosphonic acid groups, which endow it with strong chelating ability)
- Meaning of 50% Concentration: Usually, in the solution of ATMP dissolved in water, the content of the active ingredient is 50% (the rest is water). It appears as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid, is easily soluble in water, and has a relatively low pH value (acidic).
Main Applications
1. Water Treatment Field
- Scale Inhibitor: Used in industrial circulating water, boiler water, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems to inhibit the formation of scale such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and calcium phosphate, especially suitable for water with high hardness and high alkalinity.
- Corrosion Inhibitor: By chelating metal ions in water (such as Fe², Ca², Mg²), it reduces the corrosion reaction on the metal surface and protects pipes and equipment.
- Formulation with Other Agents: Often formulated with polycarboxylic acids (such as PAA, HPMA), zinc salts, etc. into composite water treatment agents to enhance comprehensive performance.
2. Metal Processing and Cleaning
- Metal Cleaning Agent: Used for surface treatment of metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper to remove rust and scale, while preventing metal corrosion during the cleaning process.
- Electroplating Pretreatment: As an additive in electroplating solutions, it improves the uniformity and adhesion of the coating.
3. Paper - making and Textile Industries
- Paper - making Industry: Inhibits the oxidation of pulp by metal ions (such as Fe³) during the pulping process, improving the whiteness and strength of paper.
- Textile Printing and Dyeing: As a chelating agent, it eliminates the adverse effects of metal ions in water on dyes and fabrics, improving the uniformity of dyeing.
4. Other Applications
- Agriculture: As a chelating agent for trace elements (such as zinc and iron), it is used to prepare foliar fertilizers or water - soluble fertilizers to improve nutrient absorption rate.
- Oilfield Industry: Used in oilfield water injection systems to prevent scale formation in formations and equipment, and at the same time inhibit corrosion caused by sulfate - reducing bacteria (SRB).
Performance Characteristics
- High - efficiency Chelating Ability: It has high chelating constants for metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, and can be stably dissolved in water to prevent the formation of precipitates.
- Resistance to High Concentration and High Temperature: It remains stable under conditions of high hardness (calcium hardness ≤ 2000 mg/L), high pH value (≤ 10.5), and high temperature (≤ 150ºC), making it suitable for harsh water quality environments.
- Low Toxicity and Environmental Friendliness: It has relatively good biodegradability (compared to traditional phosphates), which is in line with the development trend of environmentally friendly water treatment agent.
