Investigation of scale inhibition effect and mechanism of S-HGMF in the clean recirculating cooling water system

Light‐Responsive Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)‐Based Liquid‐Like Coating for Sustainable Scale Resistance

“…[4,5] To inhibit scale deposition, chemical antiscalants, and physical anti-scaling technologies have been developed. [6,7] However, chemical antiscalants generally cause additional environmental pollution whereas physical antiscaling methods require extra equipment construction and energy consumption. Alternatively, surface coatings that can prevent the formation of scale at the substrateliquid interface are highly attractive in anti-scaling applications due to their advantages of simple preparation, low cost, and environmental friendliness compared to traditional anti-scaling technologies.…”
