Barium Sulfate Crystallization in the Presence of variable Chain Length Aminomethylenetetraphosphonates and cations (Na+ or Zn2+)

Barium sulfate is a common scale in oil production installations that is treated and controlled with phosphonate inhibitors. A fundamental understanding of how these inhibitors operate, however, is only slowly emerging. In this paper, we investigate the effect on barium sulfate crystallization of tw...
