77-17: Silica Species as Stabilizers of Stagnant Water FilmsStagnant water films have 8. 8 and 2. 2 times the resistance to heat transfer as equal thicknesses of anhydrite and gypsum, respectively. The resistance increases by a factor up to 25 if stagnant film temperature and pressure allows gas evolution to be trapped in the film. Reactions between the tetrahedral soluble silica, Si(OH) 4 , and the octahedral metal hydroxides are acid base reactions which produce complex salts and water in floe form. These

The validity of the model has been verified and fine-tuned by extensive laboratory testing
