Abstract
Crystallization behavior and polymorphism of calcium carbonate scale deposited from its sludge on aluminum and copper substrates in the presence of ethylene glycol-O,Oʼ-bis(2-aminoethyl)-N,N,Nʼ,Nʼ-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) as a chelating agent/scale inhibitor was investigated. The experiments were carried out at 60 and 100 °C and the samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR and SEM techniques. The data revealed that at 100°C only calcite was found in the presence of copper, whereas with aluminum a ternary mixture containing calcite, aragonite and vaterite resulted. The data revealed that the polymorphic composition of CaCO3 was influenced by metal present in the system.
