Abstract
The influence of temperature on calcareous deposits formed under galvanostatic polarization mode was studied. The deposition was monitored by electrochemical impedance spectrum, and a supplementary loop in Nyquist diagram at high frequency was found to be an indicator of deposits precipitation with sufficient protection at above 20 °C. An exponential increase of protectiveness with temperature was observed, which was quantified by linear polarization resistance technique. Observation by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction analyses demonstrated that the critical temperature of calcium carbonate crystal form transition ranged from 15 to 20 °C. Calcite formed below 15 °C, while aragonite precipitated at above 20 °C.
