The role of dispersants

Dispersant is an additive used for chemical treatment, whose main function is to disperse dissolved substances with high molecular weight or large molecular composition into a liquid system composed of small molecules. In water treatment, dispersants can prevent particles from settling in water and keep them dispersed. The functions of dispersants include the following aspects:

Dispersion performance: The main function of dispersants is to enhance the dispersion performance in water, thereby inhibiting the formation of particles and precipitates. Dispersants can evenly disperse particles or colloids into the liquid phase, avoiding them from approaching and forming clumps or deposits.

Stability: Dispersants also have a stabilizing effect. By adding dispersants, particles in water can form a stable dispersion system, avoiding the risk of sedimentation and pollution of equipment or pipelines.

Cleaning performance: Dispersants can help clean sediment inside equipment or pipelines, thereby extending their service life. In cooling water treatment, dispersants inside the circulating system can reduce the deposition of scale on the inner walls of equipment such as pipelines, radiators, and pumps, promoting the normal operation of the equipment.

Reducing surface tension: Dispersants also have the effect of reducing liquid surface tension. By reducing surface tension, they can make it easier for liquids to flow and penetrate smaller pores, thereby improving deep permeability performance.

In summary, dispersants play a very important role in chemical treatment processes, helping to extend the service life of equipment, improve the uniformity of mixtures, reduce the risk of sedimentation and pollution, and thus improve production efficiency and product quality.
