“Scaling Mechanisms in High-Pressure Nanofiltration of Hypersaline Wastewater”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38113598

The study identifies the main scaling mechanisms in high-pressure nanofiltration of hypersaline wastewater, including bulk crystallization of CaSO4 and Mg-Si complexes, pore blocking, and cake formation, which vary depending on the presence of specific foulants such as humic acid and bovine serum albumin.
