Antiscalants Used in Seawater Desalination: Biodegradability and Effects on Microbial Diversity
Antiscalants are organic polymers widely used for scale inhibition in seawater desalination. While they are susceptible to biodegradation, they provide nutrients for bacterial cell growth and energy for the microbes that assimilate and degrade them. This paper shows the biodegradability of three com...
