Why is it important?
Calcium precipitates make unpleasant appearance and corrosions in heat exchangers, boilers, distillation towers, cooling towers etc. Moreover, some of the home appliances such as kettle, bathtub, bathroom taps etc suffer from the calcium precipitates. Industries suffer a lot of financial losses every year due to corrosion in facilities.
Perspectives
This paper introduces a green substance for inhibition of calcium precipitates. Moreover, several methods have been presented to assess the inhibitory effect of this plant extract.
