Sodium Hexametaphosphate Uses in Water Treatment

As a leader in the field of water treatment, sodium hexametaphosphate plays an indispensable role in improving water quality. First of all, it can efficiently remove suspended matter and colloidal impurities in water, and promote the precipitation and separation of impurities by forming large polymers. This feature is particularly significant in the treatment of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage. Secondly, sodium hexametaphosphate, with its strong complexing ability, closely combines with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, effectively inhibits the formation of scale, and is essential for the maintenance of hot water supply systems, boilers, cooling towers and other equipment. Furthermore, it can also adjust the pH value of water, by releasing phosphate ions and sodium ions, and reacting with hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water to ensure stable water quality and meet diversified application needs. As a supplier of sodium hexametaphosphate, Aojin Chemical will share with you today the specific uses of sodium hexametaphosphate in water treatment:

1. Corrosion inhibitor: Sodium hexametaphosphate can combine with metal ions (such as calcium and magnesium) in water to prevent scaling of pipes and equipment, thereby reducing corrosion and scaling. It is widely used in industrial circulating water systems.

2. Dispersant: Sodium hexametaphosphate can disperse suspended particles and prevent them from settling, thereby improving sewage treatment efficiency. In sewage treatment, it can prevent sludge from settling and improve treatment effects.

3. Chelating agent: Combines with heavy metal ions to reduce their toxicity and activity, and is used to treat heavy metal-containing wastewater and reduce heavy metal pollution.

4. Softener: Reacts with calcium and magnesium ions in water to prevent scale formation, suitable for boilers and cooling water systems to prevent scaling.

5. Coagulant: Promotes the coagulation of suspended particles, facilitates precipitation or filtration, and improves the solid-liquid separation effect. Widely used in coagulation and sedimentation processes

6. pH regulator: adjust the pH value of sewage and optimize treatment conditions. It is suitable for treatment processes that require a specific pH value, such as neutralization reactions

7. Phosphorus remover: Combines with phosphates to form insoluble precipitates, removes phosphorus, and is used to control eutrophic water bodies

8. The specific application scenarios of sodium hexametaphosphate in water treatment include:

Industrial circulating water system: As a corrosion inhibitor, it reduces corrosion and scaling

Wastewater treatment: As a dispersant and coagulant to improve treatment efficiency

Heavy metal wastewater treatment: As a chelating agent to reduce heavy metal pollution

Boiler and cooling water system: As a softener to prevent scale formation

Coagulation and sedimentation process: As a coagulant to improve solid-liquid separation effect

Neutralization reaction: As a pH regulator, optimize treatment conditions

Treatment of eutrophic water bodies: As a phosphorus remover, control phosphorus content

As an efficient water treatment agent, sodium hexametaphosphate has many applications in many fields. It effectively prevents the formation of scale and corrosion products through complexation, dispersion and buffering, protects equipment and pipelines, and improves water quality and equipment operating efficiency.
