Inhibition

Water pollution by heavy metals and sulphates is common in areas with mineral deposits. Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are microorganisms widely distributed, and can be used as heavy metals removal agents. Furthermore, the use of organic substrates or wastes in SRB systems could reduce the cost an

The corrosion inhibition of aluminium in HCl solution in the presence of exudate gum from Raphia hookeri at temperature range of 30–608C was studied using weight loss and thermometric techniques. The exudate gum acts as an inhibitor in the acid environment. The inhibition efficiency increases with i

The inhibition performance of three synthetic amine/ammonium-containing cationic polymers in colloidal silica particle growth is reported. The three additives are compared to control (no additives present during silicate polymerization). The three polymers, polyethyleneimine (PEI), polyallylamine hy
