Molecular Modeling of Phosphonate Molecules onto Barium Sulfate Terraced Surfaces

The adsorption of phosphonate molecules onto mineral surfaces is of interest due to their use as scale inhibitors. Molecular modeling is an important tool that can aid the fundamental understanding of how these inhibitors operate. This paper presents an empirical molecular mechanics study of the ad...
