Effect of Benzoic Acids on Barite and Calcite Precipitation

The effect of various benzoic acids on the precipitation of barite (BaSO4) and calcite (CaCO3) was investigated. The acids varied in the number of carboxylate groups, from dibenzoic acids (phthalic, isophthalic, and terephthalic) through to the hexabenzoic acid (mellitic acid). It was found that the...
