Fig. 7. Kinetic versus thermodynamic retardation of barite precipitation as a function of pore size.

Fig. 7

a Probability of nucleation based on experiments B and C giving the induction time with the pore volume in [m3]; to ease the interpretation, the pore volume and radius in more conventional units are given by the axes on top of the graph; b change of the effective solubility of BaSO4 with pore radius. The shaded region shows the region where PCS is effective.
