Mitigating CaCO3 crystal nucleation and growth through continuous ion displacement via alternating electric fields

Abstract Mineral crystal formation poses a challenge on surfaces (e.g., heat exchangers, pipes, membranes, etc.) in contact with super-saturated fluids. Applying alternating currents (AC) to such surfaces can prevent surface crystallization under certain conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ion dis...
