Essentially all industrial metals are susceptible to SCC in some specific environment. Of the metals commonly used in cooling water systems, copper-based alloys and stainless steels are most frequently affected. Common specific corrodents causing SCC in these and other heat exchanger metals are listed in Table 9.1. 

Graphitic corrosion has two distinct features that are useful in distinguishing it from other forms of corrosion. First, it affects an unusually limited number of metals the only metals commonly affected are gray cast iron and nodular cast iron. Second, metal that has experienced graphitic corrosion may retain its original appearance and dimensions. Consequently, graphitic corrosion frequently escapes detection. 

The most common toxic metals in industrial use are cadmium, chromium, lead, silver, and mercury less commonly used are arsenic, selenium (both metalloids), and barium. Cadmium, a metal commonly used in alloys and myriads of other industrial uses, is fairly mobile in the environment and is responsible for many maladies including renal failure and a degenerative bone disease called "ITA ITA" disease. Chromium, most often found in plating wastes, is also environmentally mobile and is most toxic in the Cr valence state. Lead has been historically used as a component of an antiknock compound in gasoline and, along with chromium (as lead chromate), in paint and pigments. 

The above catalogue of difficulties, in relating the aggressivity of natural waters to their chemical composition, arises precisely because of the low corrosion rates that are usually found with most metals. Under such circumstances, water composition is only one of many factors that determine the rate of attack. The other factors include flow regime, temperature and the conditions under which the initial corrosion product is laid down. The best summary of the behaviour of metals commonly used in natural waters is still that produced by Campbell for the Society of Water Treatment and Examination... 

Stainless steels have not been widely used in applications where they are buried in soil, but some applications have involved underground service. Various stainless steels from the 13% Cr to the molybdenum-bearing austenitic types were included in the comprehensive series of tests in a variety of soils reported by Romanoff . High-chloride poorly-aerated soils proved most aggressive, but even here the austenitic types proved superior to the other metals commonly used unprotected. Of special interest is the fact that though corrosion was by pitting there was little or no increase in pit depth after the first few years. 

The electrochemical properties of zinc also have a large bearing on its corrosion behaviour. Zinc is negative to Eh /h2 and magnesium and aluminium excepted, to most other metals commonly encountered, including those found in the less pure forms of zinc. This means that when zinc is in contact with these metals sacrificial electrochemical action can take place, with zinc forming the anode. Contact with other metals and impurities can... 

The characteristics of the various metals commonly used for seawater systems, chiefly, nickel and titanium alloys, galvanised steel and to a lesser extent aluminium alloys and stainless steels, are fully described in their respective sections. Reference here will be confined to mentioning some of the advantages and limitations of clad and non-metallic piping. 

Silver is a metal commonly used in jewelry and photography. It crystallizes with a face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell 0.407 nm on an edge. 

With. The following table, compiled from Refs 1, 2, 3 6, details the compatibility of dry expls (0.2% moisture max) with metals commonly used in military hardware. For all of the listed metals, exce] t phosphate coated steel, intimate contact was maintained with the various expls at ambient temp for a two year period (Ref 2). Phosphate coated steel was exposed for six months at 71° (Ref 3)... 

Silica and many of the metals commonly found in scales and deposits can form various permutations of oxides and salts, depending on the specific boiler area location and operating circumstances. Each mineral possesses distinct characteristics and may exert different effects. 

There is a wide range of metals commonly employed in the construction of HW closed loop circuits and LP steam heating systems, and every individual system design has particular characteristics that require specific corrosion controls. 

The element symbols within each formula are arranged according to a modified Hill system in which the order is metal(s), C, H and then any remaining symbols arranged alphabetically. Compounds containing two (or more) different metals appear twice (or more), being listed under each metal. Common ligand abbreviations which appear in the text have also been used in the index. These include acac (acetylacetone), bipy (2,2 -bipyridyl), diars [o-phenylenebis(dimethyl-arsine)], dien (diethylenetriamine), etc. 

The range of chemical reactivity of metals is wide, from the inertness of the platinum group to the extreme reactivity of some alkali metals. The order of metal reactivity follows essentially the order of the electrochemical series which is shown in Table 17.4 for the metals commonly deposited by CVD.

Simple 2c/2e bonds to the transition metals commonly are weaker than the corresponding sigma bonds from the p-block elements, resulting in lower-lying acceptor ctml antibonds and increased electronic delocalization. 

The second type of extraction involves removing metals from contaminated soil such that their concentration is below some defined level. Sometimes, this is called the actionable level. Above this level, some action needs to be taken to remove the contaminating metal. Below this level, no action need be taken. This type of extraction is limited to contaminated soil such as would be found at Superfund sites. Metals commonly of concern are chromium and cadmium other metals extracted are given in Table 11.2. At high levels, plant essential metals, mentioned earlier, are toxic and so may also be of concern under these conditions.

When the solvent is a good solvater, the determination of the solvation number b is difficult, unless the dependence of the extractant concentration on the solvent can be obtained. Solvation numbers can be obtained in mixtures of a solvating extractant and an inert diluent like hexane. Further, in these systems the extraction of the metal commonly requires high concentrations of salt or acid in the aqneons phase, so the activity coefficients of the solutes must be taken into acconnt. 

In the pesticide industry, metals are used principally as catalysts or as raw materials that are incorporated into the active ingredients, for example, metallo-organic pesticides. Priority pollutant metals commonly incorporated into metallo-organic pesticides include arsenic, cadmium, copper, and mercury. For metals not incorporated into the active ingredients, copper is found or suspected in wastewaters from at least eight pesticides, where it is used as a raw material or catalyst zinc becomes part of the technical grade pesticide in seven processes and mercury is used as a catalyst in one pesticide process. Nonpriority pollutant metals such as manganese and tin are also used in pesticide processes. 

This process is particularly useful for the preparation of pure plutonium metal from impure oxide starting material (111). It should also be applicable to the preparation of Cm metal. Common impurities such as Fe, Ni, Co, and Si have vapor pressures similar to those of Pu and Cm metals and are difficult to eliminate during the metallothermic reduction of the oxides and vaporization of the metals. They are eliminated, however, as volatile metals during preparation of the actinide carbides.
