10-02: Silica Scale Inhibition - A Kinetic StudyThe formation of silica and silicate scales in the chemical process industries is a significant on going problem with large economic consequences. The fouling of surfaces can reduce heat transfer and cooling efficiencies. This may also affect reaction kinetics. The removal of such scales is often a complex mechanical or chemical process and the up front prevention of their formation is a much desired solution to the problem. In this presentation, we
