Contents What is corrosion Causes of corrosion Types of corrosion Prevention of Corrosion Proposed project
Corrosion Can be viewed as the process of returning metals to their natural state- the ores from which they are originally obtained  Consists of a series of electrochemical reaction occurring at the metal surface in contact with water and its constituents
Corrosion 4Fe 2+ (aq) +O 2(g) +(4+2n)H 2 O (l)   2Fe 2 O 3 .nH 2 O (s) +8H + (aq)   Rust
Causes of Corrosion Metals corrode because they oxidize easily Large difference in reduction potentials between oxygen and most metals causes oxides to be formed (rust) Microbes create areas with different concentration in oxygen, minerals and metals
Types of Corrosion General wastage of material- Uniform corrosion Galvanic corrosion-dissimilar metals in contact Pitting-localized attack Intergranular corrosion Stress corrosion Erosion-corrosion Corrosion fatigue High temperature oxidation Hydrogen embrittlement
Prevention of Corrosion Galvanizing- Zinc coating of steal  Alloying- Chromium and Nickel coating to form oxides  Corrosion inhibitor chemicals (carbonate, silicate, phosphates)  Cathodic protection (most used in protecting buried pipelines and fuel tanks) Magnesium anode often used  to furnish electrons
Corrosion prevention
Proposed Project Altering certain parameters of water to force deposition of CaCO 3 CaCO 3  acts as a barrier between the metal surface and the water No addition of foreign elements in water nor altering metal properties  Computer aided program predicts behaviour of protective film  CHEAP
International Experience Recent studies published in Desalination (issue 213, 2007) about municipality of Hrysoypolis in Greece confirmed the benefits of CaCO 3  deposition in pipeline protection
