Plant Extracts as Scale Inhibitors
The existence of scale hinders industrial production, which leads to security risks and huge economic losses. To solve this problem, scale inhibitors are generally selected to inhibit the formation of scale. Traditional nitrogen/phosphorus scale inhibitors have potential hazards to the environment. The trend of green chemistry requires us to choose environment‐friendly scale inhibitors. The inhibition mechanism of scale inhibitors can be sorted into the following four aspects: the solubilization of chelation; lattice distortion; adsorption, coagulation, and dispersion; and threshold. Due to the advantages of non‐toxicity, bioaccumulation, and biodegradation, plant extracts come into our vision. This chapter reports the recent studies on plant extracts, aimed at the largest scale of carbonate and sulfate in nature. By summarizing this research, the future application of this all‐natural and green scale inhibitor is explored. Finally, some suggestions for the future development of plant extracts as scale inhibitors are put forward.
