Formation of Silica Scales in the Water Utilization Process and its Prevention Methods

Abstract:

A huge amount of industrial water is necessary for continuous development of industries in the world. Various mineral scales forming at facilities on the ground within the water utilization process due to dissolved salts in the natural waters. Silica scale is a significantly serious problem to prevent the effectively operation of industries due to its hard structure and low solubility. This paper only focus on formation of silica scales, summarized its formation mechanism, influence factors and prevention methods.
