Crystal growth inhibition of gypsum under normal conditions and high supersaturations by a copolymer of phosphino-polycarboxylic acid

Scale formation is a bottleneck of most industrial and domestic water equipment, in particular, of oilfield water systems. Therefore, high-performance and environmentally-benign chemical scale inhibitors are highly needed. Phosphino-polycarboxylic acid (PPCA) is a low-in-phosphorous scale inhibitor...
