“…Such concentration increase may result in positive SI of certain salts, and thus, induce scaling 5. Scaling causes, among other things, reduced permeate flux (and quality), membrane deterioration and hence higher operating costs 10. Common salts inducing scaling are calcium carbonate (e.g., calcite and aragonite), calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, calcium fluoride, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate and (amorphous) silica forms 5, 8, 10, 11.…”
