In the present work two synthetic co-polymers, U-PVPyPEGMA-H and Q-PVPyPEGMA-H,
with pyridine and polyethylene glycol grafts on a methacrylate backbone, were studied for …

In this paper the effect of two synthetic, pH-responsive co-polymers, U-PVPyPEGMA-H and
Q-PVPyPEGMA-H, with pyridine and polyethylene glycol grafts, on silicic acid …

In the present work we present experimental and computational results on the efficacy of two
simple polymers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on silica scale …

The inhibition of silica polymerization by homo-and copolymers containing different
functional groups has been studied in aqueous solution. It has been found that silica …

Silicic acid polycondensation leads to the formation of amorphous silica. This process is of
great importance to the survival of certain living organisms, such as diatoms and sponges …

Colloidal/amorphous silica (SiO2∙ nH2O, n is variable) is considered as the most
undesirable inorganic precipitate that forms during various processes in silica …

Deposition of colloidal silica and silicate based salts on equipment surfaces continue to
pose serious challenges to industrial water technologists. Currently, a wide variety of non …

Silica and metal silicate are perhaps the most undesirable deposit encountered in industrial
water systems including cooling, desalination, and geothermal. Conventional anionic scale …

This paper reports the inhibition efficiency of a family of synthetic amine/ammonium-
containing cationic polymers in colloidal silica particle growth. Three polymeric additives …

Colloidal silica is one of the most unwanted deposits in the water treatment industry. Its
control is a complicated issue and the decision on which control method to apply is …
