Corrosion 126 sulphuric

The choice is high purity industrial hexane, a stable material with a boiling range 65-70°C, low benzene and lead content, low and neutral evaporation residue and low content of corrosive sulphur compounds. The same solvent is, for similar reasons, often used in polymerisation processes for the manufacture of certain polyethylene, polypropylene or rubber grades. 

Bus bars Copper bus bars preferred, but may not be used in corrosive sulphurous gases atmosphere. 

Sulphur monochloride S2CI2 Yellowish-red oily fuming liquid with a strong odour Combustible flash point 11 8°C Ignition temp. 233°C Liquid and vapours are irritating Decomposes when contacted by water, to produce heat and toxic/corrosive fumes Do not allow water to enter containers reaction can be violent Wash down spills with flooding amounts of water... 

Liquid sulphur dioxide may cause eye and skin burns resulting from the freezing effects upon evaporation. Dry sulphur dioxide is non-corrosive to common materials of construction except zinc. The presence of moisture renders the environment corrosive. 

A further type of chemical process, which is analogous to high-temperature Corrosion, is the reaction of metals with organic sulphur compounds, which follow the equation... 

The Af-HjO diagrams present the equilibria at various pHs and potentials between the metal, metal ions and solid oxides and hydroxides for systems in which the only reactants are metal, water, and hydrogen and hydroxyl ions a situation that is extremely unlikely to prevail in real solutions that usually contain a variety of electrolytes and non-electrolytes. Thus a solution of pH 1 may be prepared from either hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric or perchloric acids, and in each case a different anion will be introduced into the solution with the consequent possibility of the formation of species other than those predicted in the Af-HjO system. In general, anions that form soluble complexes will tend to extend the zones of corrosion, whereas anions that form insoluble compounds will tend to extend the zone of passivity. However, provided the relevant thermodynamic data are aveiil-able, the effect of these anions can be incorporated into the diagram, and diagrams of the type Af-HjO-A" are available in Cebelcor reports and in the published literature.

The most important outcome of this theory is that the rate of dissolution should be potentially greater as the pH increases, which is in conflict with simple concepts of corrosion kinetics. However, the theory has been proved to be applicable to many systems, and BonhoeflFer and Heusler found that iron in sulphuric acid corroded at a greater rate with increase in pH, whilst Kabanov etal. found that it corroded faster in alkaline solution than in acid solution for the same electrode potential.
