Green and High Effective Scale Inhibitor Based on Ring-Opening Graft Modification of Polyaspartic Acid by Yongsheng Zhou, Jie Wang, Yan Fang

“…When the concentration was increased to 2 mg/L, the inhibition efficiency of the new PASP-based scale inhibitor was 99% for CaCO₃, while when the concentration was raised to only 4 mg/L, its inhibition efficiency increased to 100% for Ca₃(PO₄)₂. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the changes of crystal structure for CaCO₃ and Ca₃(PO₄)₂ after adding the new PASP-based scale inhibitor. …”
