INDUSTRIAL SCALE INHIBITION PRINCIPLES DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS (HB 2024)

Learn the synthesis, characterization, scaling mechanisms, and applications of green antiscalants to be utilized in modern industrial platforms

Scale formation, or mineral accumulation on the interior surfaces of water lines and containers, is a serious and expensive hazard in numerous industries. The prevention and elimination of scales has long been a major project demanding the production of antiscalant materials; increasing awareness of the toxicity of traditional antiscalants, however, and rising environmental consciousness has increased demand for green antiscalants. It’s an exciting time for new chemists and chemical engineers to get involved in this growing field.

Industrial Scale Inhibition provides a comprehensive introduction to existing and ongoing developments in green antiscalants. With coverage of synthesis, characterization, and many more subjects, it promises to make a serious contribution to environmentally conscious industry. The range of environmentally alternatives to traditional toxic antiscalants is explored and analyzed in this crucial volume.

Industrial Scale Inhibition readers will also find:

• Detailed coverage of both synthetic and natural antiscalants
• Up-to-date reference material including pertinent websites and connections to the latest research
• Analysis of plant extracts, natural polymers, oleochemicals, and many more

Industrial Scale Inhibition is a useful reference for chemists and chemical engineers working in research and development and academia, as well as high-level researchers working in the fields of material science and engineering, nanotechnology, energy, environment, colloid sciences, among others.
