The oxidation products are almost insoluble and lead to the formation of protective films. They promote aeration cells if these products do not cover the metal surface uniformly. Ions of soluble salts play an important role in these cells. In the schematic diagram in Fig. 4-1 it is assumed that from the start the two corrosion partial reactions are taking place at two entirely separate locations. This process must quickly come to a complete standstill if soluble salts are absent, because otherwise the ions produced according to Eqs. (2-21) and (2-17) would form a local space charge. Corrosion in salt-free water is only possible if the two partial reactions are not spatially separated, but occur at the same place with equivalent current densities. The reaction products then react according to Eq. (4-2) and in the subsequent reactions (4-3a) and (4-3b) to form protective films. Similar behavior occurs in salt-free sandy soils.

In-well aeration is the process of injecting air into the lower portion of a dual-screened well with perforations at the bottom and above the water table. As the bubbles rise, they expand, which causes the mixed mass of air and water to have less density. The result is an air-lift pump effect. When the water rises and exits the upper perforations, replacement water enters the bottom of the well. The result is a circulation cycle. Free air does not enter the aquifer, but dissolved air (and oxygen) travels with the circulating water. Figure 9.4 is a schematic diagram of in-well aeration.

A schematic diagram of a typical municipal water treatment plant is shown in Figure 5.1. This particular facility treats water containing excessive hardness and a high level of iron. The raw water taken from wells first goes to an aerator. Contact of the water with air removes volatile solutes such... 

Both domestic batch-scale and industrial continuous dishwashing machines are employed. A schematic diagram of the former is depicted in Figure 8.15. The device includes racks to support dishes, which are subject to aqueous sprays directed from below. The impact of the spray onto already wet surfaces results in aeration by a process that may, in some measure, resemble that occurring during a continuous Ross-Miles foam test (see Section 2.2.3). The presence of surface-active material therefore leads to foam formation.
