1. the CaCO 3 precipitate after the APT assays was studied, finding that the SPEI film inhibits the formation of calcite in the solution. In summary, the APT method could be projected for studies on surfaces for water softening, desalination membranes, and reverse osmosis membranes, among others, providing valuable information about the phenomena occurring on the surface of the material.
