Corrosion and scaling have presented serious technical challenges to make 11 geothermal
power reliable and affordable. Due to the large quantities of geothermal water 12 that must …

Geothermal energy is a new renewable and clean energy source with low cost and wide
distribution. In the process of production and reinjection of geothermal well system (mainly …

The utilization of geothermal energy remains underdeveloped, mainly due to the technical
problem of silica scaling. The scaling can eventually disrupt the electricity production …

Abstract Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) hosts numerous thermal springs (25–85° C), related
to Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault System (LOFS) and Andean Transverse Faults (ATFs), suggesting the …

Metallic corrosion is a major issue that leads to an efficiency loss and eventual failure of the
system in geothermal power plants. Despite the growing understanding of mechanisms of …

The Miocene low-sulfidation epithermal deposits of the Omu camp in northeastern
Hokkaido, Japan, are small past-producers of precious metals and represent significant …

The main components of artificial leather were polymer, plasticizer, stabilizer, and filler.
Silica is one of the commons reinforcing filler for many composites. Meanwhile, amorphous …

A model that can be used to quantify silica deposition from superheated depressurized
steam is developed. Classical nucleation theory, agglomeration and deposition onto a wall …

Cationic silica scale inhibitors are widely used, but are prone to precipitation and exhibit
poor performance in geothermal systems. In this study, the cationic polymer …

Silica precipitation from high-enthalpy, depressurized supercritical fluids is investigated to
determine the best method for accessing the scaling potential as a function of time, position …
