Characterization of the natural organic matter in industrial cooling water

Scaling due to calcium carbonate precipitation is a major problem in cooling water circuits in many of Eskom power stations. Some earlier studies have suggested that the natural organic matter (NOM) present in the cooling water may reduce the amount of scaling by limiting the formation of calcium ca...
