Nanomaterials as Scale Inhibitors
Scale formation is a ubiquitous challenge commonly experienced in oilfield operations, energy production, water desalination, and cooling water systems. Researchers have been prompted to devise innovative technologies aimed at mitigating the detrimental technical, financial, and environmental impacts associated with scale accumulation. Among the various methods developed for scale mitigation, the use of scale inhibitors has emerged as a cost‐effective, highly efficient, and reliable technique. Both organic and inorganic scale inhibitors have garnered significant attention for their remarkable effectiveness, often requiring minimal concentrations for optimal performance. Nonetheless, the high cost and environmental concerns associated with many conventional scale inhibitors have rendered them unsuitable for sustainable industrial applications. Consequently, there has been a recent shift toward the adoption of nanotechnology to develop scale inhibitors that are not only highly effective but also cost‐efficient and environmentally friendly. These nanomaterial‐based scale inhibitors have demonstrated the capacity to migrate porous media efficiently, extend the squeeze lifetime, and enhance overall scale inhibition performance. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the application of nanomaterials as effective, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable scale inhibitors.
