New Silica Antiscalant Enables Higher Recovery in RO Systems
A US antiscalant company has developed a new silica-control chemistry designed specifically to disrupt the silica polymerization on membranes
Why EDI Removes Silica More Effectively Than Boron
Boron and silica differ in their acid–base chemistry, which is why boron removal and silica removal require different EDI and ion-exchange approaches.
Does Boron Polymerize in IX and EDI Like Silica Does?
Silica polymerizes. Boron does not. And Boron is harder to remove using RO, IX, and EDI than Silica.
