Article Citation Count: 10Experimental modeling of silicate-based geothermal deposits(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Celik, Ash; Topcu, Gokhan; Baba, Alper; Akdogan, Yasar; Senturk, Ufuk; Demir, Mustafa M.; Demir, MustafaScaling by metal silicates represents a major obstacle for geothermal systems. A composition that enables the fabrication of artificial deposits is necessary for the rapid testing of potential inhibitors. In this work, artificial deposits were synthesized by employing experimental conditions similar to those in the Tuzla Geothermal Field in Turkey. Although refluxing enabled the formation of a precipitate that was similar to naturally formed deposits in color and texture, their elemental composition and morphology showed a mismatch. An autoclave enabled the production of a precipitate that more closely resembled naturally formed deposits in color, texture, elemental composition, and structure.
