Abstract Scale deposition poses significant challenges in various industrial utilities, necessitating the development of eco-friendly scale inhibitors line with environmental regulations. This study investigates potential two natural surfactants, Casein and Rhamnolipid, as innovative for calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) formation, offering an alternative to traditional water treatment chemicals. The anti-scaling characteristics these green surfactants were performed using conductivity electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) utilized analyze morphology CaCO crystals understand structural changes induced by surfactant interaction. results revealed that Rhamnolipids significantly outperform suppressing attributed adsorption their multiple functional groups onto microcrystals. modifies crystal structure inhibits further growth. Computational studies employed investigate inhibition mechanism surfactants. spatial electrical configurations optimal molecular structures are also analyzed Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. Monte Carlo simulations on (104) surface demonstrated exhibit superior compared Casein, evidenced higher energy, indicating a more stable binding surface. Overall, this research highlights sustainable inhibitors, particularly industries such food pharmaceuticals, thereby contributing environmentally friendly solutions.
