Abstract
Fouling reduces the thermal efficiency of heat transfer
units, and it causes economic losses and has a marked
effect on CO2 releases and thus on climate change. In
order to improve the energy efficiency, deposition
formation (precipitation and crystallization) onto the
heat transfer surfaces is going to be mitigated. A way to
achieve this goal is the development of new surface
materials with controlled chemical composition and
morphology. In this study, formation mechanism of CaCO3
depositions was investigated on modified (-CH3 and -COOH)
organo silicon (SiOC), and anatase and rutile TiO2
surfaces. The results were compared to those of stainless
steel surfaces. Based on the molecular modelling results,
anatase and -COOH functionalized SiOC coatings are
promising materials for mitigation of fouling caused by
CaCO3.
