The efficacy of calcium carbonate scale inhibition by commercial polymer scale inhibitors

The efficacy of calcium carbonate scale inhibition by three selected inhibitors, Polymaleic Acid (PMA), Polyamino Polyether Methylene Phosphonic Acid (PAPEMP) and Acrylic Acid-Maleic Anhydride (AA/MA) copolymer was investigated via static beaker tests at 40 °C, pH 8.50 and incubated for 20 h. The ca...
