Antiscalant properties of Herniaria glabra aqueous solution

State of art bio-materials as scale inhibitors in recirculating cooling water system: a review article

“…In a few studies, FCP (fast controlled precipitation) method along with CA were conducted to assess the scale inhibition performance of several plant extracts, including Herniaria glabra (Horner et al 2017), Spergularia rubra, Parietaria officinalis (Cheap-Charpentier et al 2016) and Hylocereus undatus (Lourteau et al 2019). The FCP method was conducted at 30 °C in synthetic water (Ca 2þ ¼ 100 mg/L) with 850 rpm stirring rate.…”

Polysaccharides as Effective and Environmentally Friendly Inhibitors of Scale Deposition from Aqueous Solutions in Technological Processes

“…The use of plant extracts is currently considered as a promising method for preventing scale deposition [ 31 ]. Indeed, plant extracts are an interesting alternative source of organic molecules, mainly polysaccharides, since they are harmless to the environment, can be easily extracted, and the raw materials for their production are renewable [ 32 , 33 ].…”

Scaling inhibition by sol-gel phosphosilicate hybrid films: Influence of doping Cu2+ and Zn2+ cations

“…Indeed, poly-phosphonates are very efficient but they can cause eutrophication when they are rejected in natural waters [17,18]. Thus, the scientific community began searching for environmentally friendly inhibitors (green inhibitors) derived from petrochemicals [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], plant extracts [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] and chemical modified natural products from industrial process [34][35][36]. Nevertheless, the compatibility with the water environment and the respect of the different safety rules are always questionable even if these products come from plants or similar.…”
