The de Waard-Milliams model is a well-known modeH - used in industry (such as subsea pipeline corrosion) to predict corrosion, and it is the cornerstone of commercially available corrosion prediction software packages such as Cassandra. Despite its applicability in industry, a significant disadvantage of this model is that it does not consider MIC. In 2002, a NACE paper was published in which the described models were related to various mechanisms from sweet corrosion, sour corrosion, and organic acid corrosion to oxygen corrosion and MIC. Obviously, it is the model describing MIC that concerns us here. [Pg.106]

Oxidation first produces soluble oxygenated compounds of molecular weights between 500 and 3000 that increase the viscosity of oil then they polymerize, precipitate, and form deposits. Oxidation also causes formation of low molecular weight organic acids which are very corrosive to metals. [Pg.358]

Vapors emitted from the materials of closed storage and exhibit cases have been a frequent source of pollution problems. Oak wood, which in the past was often used for the constmction of such cases, emits a significant amount of organic acid vapors, including formic and acetic acids, which have caused corrosion of metal objects, as well as shell and mineral specimens in natural history collections. Plywood and particle board, especially those with a urea—formaldehyde adhesive, similarly often emit appreciable amounts of corrosive vapors. Sealing of these materials has proven to be not sufficiently rehable to prevent the problem, and generally thek use for these purposes is not considered acceptable practice. [Pg.429]

In common with other hydroxy organic acids, tartaric acid complexes many metal ions. Formation constants for tartaric acid chelates with various metal ions are as follows Ca, 2.9 Cu, 3.2 Mg, 1.4 and Zn, 2.7 (68). In aqueous solution, tartaric acid can be mildly corrosive toward carbon steels, but under normal conditions it is noncorrosive to stainless steels (Table 9) (27). [Pg.525]

The corrosion behavior of tantalum is weU-documented (46). Technically, the excellent corrosion resistance of the metal reflects the chemical properties of the thermal oxide always present on the surface of the metal. This very adherent oxide layer makes tantalum one of the most corrosion-resistant metals to many chemicals at temperatures below 150°C. Tantalum is not attacked by most mineral acids, including aqua regia, perchloric acid, nitric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid below 175°C. Tantalum is inert to most organic compounds organic acids, alcohols, ketones, esters, and phenols do not attack tantalum. [Pg.331]

Many of the by-products of microbial metaboHsm, including organic acids and hydrogen sulfide, are corrosive. These materials can concentrate in the biofilm, causing accelerated metal attack. Corrosion tends to be self-limiting due to the buildup of corrosion reaction products. However, microbes can absorb some of these materials in their metaboHsm, thereby removing them from the anodic or cathodic site. The removal of reaction products, termed depolari tion stimulates further corrosion. Figure 10 shows a typical result of microbial corrosion. The surface exhibits scattered areas of localized corrosion, unrelated to flow pattern. The corrosion appears to spread in a somewhat circular pattern from the site of initial colonization. [Pg.268]

Corrosion Resistance. Zirconium is resistant to corrosion by water and steam, mineral acids, strong alkaUes, organic acids, salt solutions, and molten salts (28) (see also Corrosion and corrosion control). This property is attributed to the presence of a dense adherent oxide film which forms at ambient temperatures. Any break in the film reforms instantly and spontaneously in most environments. [Pg.428]

Zirconium is totally resistant to corrosion by organic acids. It has been used in urea-production plants for more than two decades. [Pg.429]

Attack on metals can be a function of fuel components as well as of water and oxygen. Organic acids react with cadmium plating and 2inc coatings. Traces of H2S and free sulfur react with silver used in older piston pumps and with copper used in bearings and brass fittings. Specification limits by copper and silver strip corrosion tests are requited for fuels to forestall these reactions. [Pg.416]

Clostridia are anaerobic bacteria that can produce organic acids. Short-chain organic acids can be quite aggressive to steel. Clostridia are frequently found deep beneath deposit and corrosion-product accumulations near corroding surfaces and within tubercles. Increased acidity directly contributes to wastage. [Pg.122]

Organic acids—except formic, oxalic, and some chlorine-containing acids—do not appreciably attack aluminum near room temperature. In most acids, the corrosion rate increases slightly with flow velocity. [Pg.162]

Wastage was caused by exposure to oleic acid and short-chain organic acids in the rolling oil. Fatty acids break down to form shorter-chain acids in service. However, oleic acid, of and by itself, is fairly corrosive. Attack due to oleic acid can be reduced substantially using appropriate chemical inhibition. [Pg.180]

Naphthenic acid is a collective name for organic acids present in some but not all crude oils. In addition to true naphthenic acids (naphthenic carboxylic acids represented by the formula X-COOH in which X is a cycloparaffin radical), the total acidity of a crude may include various amounts of other organic acids and sometimes mineral acids. Thus the total neutralization number of a stock, which is a measure of its total acidity, includes (but does not necessaiily represent) the level of naphthenic acids present. The neutralization number is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize one gram of stock as determined by titration using phenolphthalein as an indicator, or as determined by potentiometric titration. It may be as high as 10 mg KOH/gr. for some crudes. The neutralization number does not usually become important as a corrosion factor, however, unless it is at least 0.5 mg KOH/gm. [Pg.264]

Some of the worst corrosive effects in soft waters are attributed to a rather wide group of organic acids abstracted from peat and mosses, sometimes called peaty acids. Such waters have low pH values and are often discoloured. They affect ferrous metals appreciably and also attack lead and... [Pg.356]
