An introduction was presented to the scale inhibition mechanism of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in desulphurization slurry, while the effects of following factors on the amount of accumulated scale were researched based on response surface analysis, such as the EDTA mass concentration, stirring speed, reaction temperature and reaction time, etc. Results show that EDTA has a certain buffer effect on scale inhibition in CaCO3 slurry and Ca(OH)2 slurry, but the EDTA mass concentrations achieving the best buffer effect are different for the two slurries. With the increase of EDTA mass concentration, the amount of accumulated scale on the surface of sheet metal drops rapidly, which tends to be stable when the EDTA mass concentration reaches 3.0 g/L; with the increase of stirring speed, the amount of accumulated scale on the surface of sheet metal reduces in a certain extent, and tends to be stable when the stirring speed gets up to 200 r/min.
