A preparation method and use of a modified hydroxyethyl cellulose scale inhibitor for inhibiting silica scale are provided. The scale inhibitor is prepared by grafting reaction with hydroxyethyl cellulose as a raw material, ammonium persulfate as an initiator and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) methyl acrylamide as a graft monomer. The grafting reaction can introduce grafting chains containing amide group and tertiary amine group into a cellulose molecular chain, so that it can effectively disperse scale forming substances and obtain the efficient environment-friendly scale inhibitor. The scale inhibitor can effectively inhibit the generation of silica scale and prevent the increase of scale particle size, the scale inhibitor is used in a reverse osmosis system, which can effectively alleviate the decline of the membrane flux. The scale inhibitor has a good application prospect in controlling the silica scale on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane.

A preparation method includes 1) dispersing cellulose nanocrystal in water and adjusting pH to 7; 2) adding carboxylate to the aqueous dispersion of the step 1), and stirring until uniform; and 3) adding a monomer and a ceric ammonium nitrate initiator to the system of the step 2), reacting for 0.5-3 h to obtain a precipitate, and subjecting the precipitate to suction filtration, washing, and drying to obtain the cellulose nanocrystal powder. By adding a small amount of carboxylate into a cellulose nanocrystal graft polymer modification system initiated by ceric ammonium nitrate, hydrolysis of cerium ions can be inhibited through complexation of the carboxylate to the cerium ions which play an initiating role in ceric ammonium nitrate, so that ceric ammonium nitrate can initiate the polymerization reaction under acid-free conditions, thereby achieving polymerization of polyvinyl acetate monomer on the surface of cellulose nanocrystals.
