Gambier extracts as an inhibitor of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) scale formation

Influence of Calix[4]arene Derived Compound on Calcium Sulphate Scale Formation

“…This result is in accordance with previous result with applying this inhibitor upon CaCO3 crystal 11 . The same results were also reported by Jones et al 9 using calix [4]arene from aspartic acid and glutamic acid functional groups on inorganic material and Suharso et al 22 using extract Gambier as inhibitor of CaCO3 crystal.

Effect of six kinds of scale inhibitors on calcium carbonate precipitation in high salinity wastewater at high temperatures

“…Compared with natural water, there are a considerable number of inorganic ions and organic substrates in refinery wastewater, which would lead to easier scale formation in circulating cooling water systems (Liu et al, 2013). Scale formation on heat transfer surfaces is a severe problem widely occurring in numerous industrial processes including batch precipitation, power generation, water transport and oil or gas production (Demadis et al, 2007;El Dahan and Hegazy, 2000;Gu et al, 2012;Suharso et al, 2011). It will reduce the efficiency of heat transfer, increase energy consumption and cause unscheduled equipment shutdowns (Yang et al, 2001).…”

Acrylic Acid-Allylpolyethoxy Carboxylate Copolymer: An Effective and Environmentally Friendly Inhibitor for Carbonate and Sulphate Scales in Cooling Water Systems

“…The most common and effective method of scale controlling is the use of chemical additives as scale inhibitors that retard or prevent scale formation even in very small concentrations (Kjellin 2003). Several studies about carbonate and sulphate scales formation in the absence and presence of inhibitors have been carried out (Kumar, Vishwanatham, Du 2010;Zhou, Sun, Wang 2011;Suharso, Syaiful, Teguh 2011;Al Nasser et al 2011;Zhang et al 2011;Fu et al 2011).…”
