Scaling potential

1 - 3 of 3 results

This paper briefly discusses the current industrial practice for assessing the scaling potential of sparingly soluble salts and suggests a more theoretical approach which is expected to provide more accurate results. This theoretical approach is based on the use of Gibbs free energies of reaction fo

The tendency of solutes in input water to precipitate efficiency lowering scale deposits on the membranes of reverse osmosis (RO) desalination systems is an important factor in determining the suitability of input water for desalination. Simulated input water evaporation can be used as a technique t

Scaling is a major problem facing salt separation from water by reverse osmosis (RO) systems. The sophisticated saturation indices such as LSI (1936), RSI (1944), and S&DSI (1952), are widely used for the prediction of scaling potential in RO systems, although these indices were specifically develop
