Shall we use sulfamic acid for autoclave descaling?

So far, I would say no. I did find a recipe for citric acid, though: 10g citric acid for every 200 mL of dH2O. We have a table top Market Forge autoclave that needs water manually added (3.8L each time), so this has been the easiest way to clean it. Add the mixture to the autoclave and run... a lot of the scale will come right off! Hope this helps.

How does sulfamic acid remove limescale?

Most acids will remove limescale which is basically calcium carbonate. Even though sulfamic acid is classed as a weak acid and does not produce many protons, it does produce some. The generic equation for this reaction is: CaCO3 + 2H+ -----> Ca2+ (soluble and can be washed away) + H2O + CO2 Sulfamic acid prefers calcium carbonate ("lime" or "scale" over metal). There are "inhibited" sulfamic acids that actually are even better at "choosing" the scale over the metal surfaces. Basically, the acid attacks the scale and re-dissolves it adding a H molecule to the carbonate, making bicarbonate. This, then weakens the crystalline structure and forces the Calcium (+2) to reach for stabilizing electrons from the water. Some dissolves, most falls off into solution. When removing calcium carbonate, sulfamic acid should not be in the system for more than 8 hours, or passivation of metal (referring to galvanized steel) will deteriorate and require repassivation with phosphate treatments. However, in cases of severe scaling, this may be the only way. Typically, it takes two (2) pounds of sulfamic acid per every one (1) pound of scale. So buying tubs of sulfamic acid at 100 pounds each isn't uncommon. AFCO and many other suppliers have these ready to go.
