Corrosion Proof Lining

Sulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid requires special corrosion-proof equipment either glass-lined steel or all glass. The latter is especially suitable for small batch size sulfonation. The HC1 absorber also is built of either glass-lined steel or all glass. 

After all of the possible equilibrium lines are drawn in the diagram, a part of the equilibrium lines are deleted to leave the common stability regions. Figure 2d is a potential-pH diagram drawn by the above procedure. As can be seen from this procedure, potential-pH diagram can be altered by a set of chemical species and conditions considered, e.g. temperature, activity of ions. Therefore, the selection of chemical species in addition to the activity settings is important and should be done according to an intended purpose for example, dissolution of chemicals, corrosion proof, electrolysis, and electroless deposition. 

Deflagration Arrester Testing For end-of-line and tank vent flame arresters, approval agencies may require manufacturers to provide users with data for flow capacity at operating pressures, proof of success during an endurance burn or continuous flame test, evidence of flashback test results (for end-of-hne arresters) or explosion test results (for in-line or tank vent arrester applications), hydrauhc pressure test results, and results of a corrosion test. 

The shell may be of metal (steel, alloy, or non-ferrous), plastic, wood or some combination which may require the addition of liners or inner layers of rubber, plastic or brick. The mechanical problems of attaching inner nozzles, supports and brick require considerable attention that is not an integral part of sizing the equipment. Figures 9-2A-C show a typical large steel brick-lined-membrane lined tower with corbeled brick support locations. In these towers, temperature and/or corrosive conditions usually dictate the internal lining, and the selection of the proper acid- (or alkali-) proof cements. 

Depending on the technical requirements such as corrosion resistance, pressure and temperature stability, industrial scale azo pigment synthesis is carried out in appropriate equipment. Suitable materials include cast iron, stainless steel, steel lined with rubber, acid-proof brick, enamel, synthetic resins supported by glass fiber, and wood. 

Acid-Proof Vessel Construction with Membrane and Brick Linings, NACE Committee Report, Corrosion 195t-204t (March 1957). 

Sometimes the vessels arc lined with a corrosion resisting material (lead, tiles, cement, tar, asphalt, rubber or synthetic resins). Lead is used to line both wooden and steel vessels enameled steel vessels are sometimes used in small plants if electrolysis is to proceed at a higher temperature. Acid proof tiles used for the lining of steel yessels are mounted on a cement basis. A coating of tar or asphalt can sometimes be used to line a wooden container instead of the more expensive lead. Steel electrolyzers are frequently used with a natural or synthetic rubber lining. 

Cost of this process is about 50% more than glass-lined steel and about 67% of equivalent vacuum-proof, all-metal construction of the same metal as the cladding. It can be used in very large vessels and over complex curves. It might be better to use Resista-Clad with a very corrosion-resistant metal than to use a less corrosion-resistant solid metal construction in which there is a significant risk of failure. This may be especially true if there is doubt about the... 

It liberates vapors (4) of the inhibitors whose particles are transported via diffusion to the article and adsorb on its surface resulting in layer 5. Liberation, transportation and adsorption velocities of the inhibitor on the article surface should be reasonable from the point of view of protecting the article against corrosion. This means that formation of adsorption layer 5 is to occur before the onset of the corrosion process or at least before it becomes stationary. Since the protecting system is not absolutely leak proof, losses of the inhibitor from layer 5 may occur. New inhibitor supplied from composite 3 replenishes this unavoidable volatilization of the inhibitor vapors. The adsorption equilibrium in layer 5 is in line with the schema ... 

Brick lining protection can be used for many conditions that are severely corrosive even to high-alloy materials. It should be considered for tanks, vats, stacks, vessels, and other similar equipment items. Brick shapes commonly used for such construction are made of carbon, red shale, or acid-proof refractory materials. Carbon bricks are useful for handling alkaline conditions as well as acid, while the shale and the acid-proof refractory materials are used primarily for acid solutions. Carbon can also be used where sudden temperature changes are involved that would cause spalling of the other two materials. Red shale bricks generally are not used at temperatures above 118.88°C (300°F) because of poor spalling resistance. Acid-proof refractories are sometimes used at temperatures up to 871°C (1600°F). 

Plant components of up to about 1000 m in volume can also be ebonite-lined on-site if hot water or piped steam is available for vulcanization. For adequate cross-linking, the steel must be heated to 90-95°C, which is only possible if effective exterior insulation is provided. The largest tank known to have been ebonite-lined on-site has a capacity of 8000 m. It has a triple-play lining, which was applied as a 5-mm-thick single sheet and consists of a soft rubber adhesive layer, a diffusion-proof ebonite layer, and a corrosion-resistant soft rubber layer. This tank has been continuously exposed to concentrated hydrochloric add containing chlorine and solvents withont suffering damage.

The design of the stack shall consider the possibility that moisture containing acidic constituents may condense in the stack. Corrosion resistant stainless steel or carbon steel with an internal lining should be considered for stack construction. Insulation may be required to prevent condensation. Stacks made of reinforced concrete should be provided with an inner coating of acid-proof paint or another suitable liner. Condensate that may collect at the foot of the stack shall be drained into a collection tank since it may contain radioactive material. Stacks may be equipped with manholes, gas sampling probes, ladders and platforms.

The need for corrosion protection was also antidpated. Frasch proposed to introduce an alkaline liquid (preferably milk of Ume) to neutralize any unspent acid returned to the wellbore following treatment. The advantage of neutralization, he said, is to avoid the danger of corroding the subsequently used apparatus. Frasch proposed to use pipe that was enameled or lead lined or to otherwise make proof against corrosion. Finally, Frasch pointed out the need for a rubber packer to isolate the zone and force the acid into the formation to be treated. ...
