Abstract
The use of recently developed experimental methods, as well as traditional techniques, in the discovery of new calcium carbonate scale inhibitors are discussed. Atomic force microscopy and computer aided molecular design are presented as emerging technologies which can provide important contributions to the understanding of the mechanism of calcium carbonate inhibition and the investigation of new inhibitor chemistries. Calcium carbonate solubility stress experiments, constant composition techniques and process simulation, traditional scale inhibitor development methods, are also discussed. Results of representative experiments are also presented and discussed.
