Various chemical additives are used in water treatment industry, among them – precipitation inhibitors for reverse osmosis membrane facilities. The development and synthesis of new inhibitor formulas and the study of their effectiveness is still an urgent task for many researchers working in this field. The relationship between the structure of phosphonate scale inhibitors and their effectiveness in preventing of calcium carbonate precipitation was studied. Two classes of tetraphosphonate and diphosphonate inhibitors that possess systematic structural similarities and differences have been tested on the laboratory membrane unit. All chemicals were tested at doses of 1 and 5 mg/L. The results showed that the antiscalant efficiency for both groups of inhibitors increases with elongation of methylene chain, but the longest compounds have a sharp drop in inhibition efficiency.
