Thermodynamics of sodium aluminosilicate formation in aqueous alkaline solutions relevant to closed-cycle Kraft pulp mills

Accumulation of Al and Si ions in the recovery cycle of a kraft pulp mill may cause sodium aluminosilicate scale formation. This glossy scale forms on process equipment and is very hard to remove. Thus, formation of the scale can create several operational problems in mills moving towards progres...
