Abstract
⺠We investigate the kinetics of precipitation of calcite (CaCO3) from aqueous solution in the presence of carboxymethyl inulin (CMI) by constant composition method. ⺠Carboxymethyl inulin at low concentration inhibits the crystal growth of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). ⺠The higher inhibition efficiency is related to the maximum surface charge density due to adsorbed polymer. ⺠The effect of CMI is related to the carboxyl groups and the concentration of the polymer.
