Reverse osmosis (RO) plays an important role in freshwater production. Mineral scaling is
an inevitable problem in the RO desalination process. Various methods, including the …

Mining and smelting of mineral resources causes excessive accumulation of potentially toxic
metals (PTMs) in surrounding soils. Here, biochar-based sulfidated nanoscale zero-valent …

Formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has long been a concern in potable water
systems. CaCO3 formation is re-emerging as an important issue due to climate change …

Mining wastes or combustion ash are materials of high carbon sequestration potential but
are also known for their toxicity in terms of heavy metal content. To utilize such waste …

In this paper, the inhibition mechanism of Zn 2+ in trace concentration on both the CaCO 3
precipitation and corrosion of carbon steel in artificial seawater was investigated using …

In seawater, during the application of cathodic protection, a scale layer forms on the metal
surface. As function of its chemical composition and compactness, it can improve the metal …

Precipitation of CaCO 3, as the most important part of scales, causes a serious problem in
industrial equipment such as pipelines and desalination plants. The effect of the hydrogen …

The current paper describes the influence of trace amounts of Cu2+ ions on the precipitation
of calcite in an aqueous and supersaturated CaCO3/NaCl system and in natural water of …

In the circulating water system of coastal power plants, various kinds of ions have a great
influence on the formation and growth of CaCO3 scales. This paper focuses on investigating …

In this work, the effect of Zn 2+ cations on the calcareous scales during the cathodic
protection of mild steel was studied. The Zn 2+ cations were introduced into the epoxy and …
