Macromolecule-based platforms for developing tailor-made formulations for scale inhibition

摘要: Inorganic crystallization, commonly referred to as mineral scale formation, has posed tremendous challenges and is one of the leading assurance problems in water-based industries. A detailed understanding mechanism influencing factors for initiation build-up deposited not only highly relevant many industries but also catalyzed academic research developing efficient antiscalants. Macromolecules that can stop nucleation inhibit crystallization or interact with forming crystals modify their morphology retard further growth have been focus intense scientific endeavors. There immense activity additives which regulate unwanted inorganic complexity how they work preventing deposits. In this review, after a summary controlling parameters define growth, we review opportunities generated by using macromolecules platform inhibitors two most common deposits, i.e. calcium salts silica, discussion on efficiencies changing growing crystal morphology.
