Rusty water

Decontamination since concrete is a porous material it can absorb oil, rusty water, etc. and coatings can reduce the absorption.

How about having an injured worker make a beeline to the nearest emergency shower or eyewash and have it be inoperative or have it spray out rusty water ... 

Unalloyed ferrous materials are used without additional protective measures to a strictly limited degree. The reason for their limited use is the lack of resistance of these materials to local attack, such as wide or deep pitting. In domestic installations, it is the brown discolouration and change in taste of drinking water (rusty water), above all, which are unacceptable to the public - although they are not a health hazard. 

While the protective film is forming, rusting will proceed at a relatively high rate, during which time rusty water is produced. This rusty water may stain masonry, pavements, and the like. Consequently, steps should be taken to prevent detrimental staining effects, such as coloring the masonry brown, so that any staining will not be obvious. 

Short-term corrosion problems are often indicated by customer complaints, such as the occurrence of red or yellow "rusty" water or a sudden decrease in water pressure. A reason for rust-colored water is generally the presence of corrosion products that have flaked off of the internal pipe walls, while a water pressure drop may be caused by a leak in the transmission or distribution system. 

Stores should be ventilated and sound, e.g. no cracks in floors, no rusty window frames, no water seepages, etc. 

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water No reaction Reactivity with Common Materials Can catch fire when in contact with porous materials such as wood, asbestos, cloth, soil, or rusty metals Stability During Transport Stable at ordinary temperatures, however when heated this material can decompose to nitrogen and ammonia gases. The decomposition is not generally hazardous unless it occurs in confined spaces Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics Flush with water and neutralize the resulting solution with calcium hypochlorite Polymerization Not pertinent Inhibitor of Polymerization Not pertinent. 

Although the high-silicon irons are often used in circumstances which expose them to atmospheric, water or soil corrosion, they are rarely installed specifically to resist these agencies. Their corrosion resistance is such, however, that in fact no normally occurring environment ever causes serious attack. This is not to say that these irons can be regarded as stainless, and in fact alloys containing less than 14-7% silicon have been reported as becoming rusty in a moist atmosphere ... 

Atmospheric exposure trials, carried out in Cambridge, established the fact that when rusty specimens were painted in the summer, their condition, after some years exposure, was very much better than that of similar specimens painted in the winter It was found that steel weathered in Cambridge carried spots of ferrous sulphate, deeply imbedded in the rust, and that the quantity of ferrous sulphate/unit area was very much greater in the winter than in the summer this seasonal variation was attributed to the increased sulphur dioxide pollution of the atmosphere in the winter, caused by the combustion of coal in open grates. It was concluded that there was a causal relationship between the quantity of ferrous sulphate and the effective life of the paint. It was suggested that these soluble deposits of ferrous sulphate short-circuit the resistance of the paint film and, since paint films are very permeable to water and oxygen, the ferrous sulphate will become oxidised and hydrolysed with the production of voluminous rust, which will rupture the film at numerous points, thus giving rise to the characteristic type of failure seen on painted rusty surfaces. 

You have a piping system in your plant that has gotten old and rusty. The pipe is 2 in. sch 40 steel, 6000 ft long. You find that it takes 35 hp to pump water through the system at a rate of 100 gpm. 

Experiments also indicated that under circumstances where a significant quantity of molten aluminum could not contact a wetted surface, explosions were rare. Thus, small spills, or spills which required the metal to fragment or pass through considerable distances in air or water before contacting a wet, solid surface, seldom led to explosions. On the other hand, if molten aluminum were to contact wet, rusty steel (or steel with inorganic salts on it), explosions were more likely. 

Other tests were carried out in which aluminum was poured into water while, at the same time, exploding a wire in the water. Early scoping tests were carried out in Pyrex and stainless steel vessels with 0.9 kg of water and 0.1 kg of aluminum. Quite violent explosions were obtained in both Pyrex and stainless steel when the bottom was covered with a rusty steel plate. In cases where no such plate was present, no or small explosions resulted. 

During casting of small ingots, one developed a leak (bleed-out) and contacted water near an unpainted (slightly rusty) steel plate. An explosion resulted... 

Pour 50 cc. of concentrated sulfuric acid slowly into about 1 liter of water in an evaporating dish and add 50 g. of iron nails or turnings. When the action becomes slow heat the dish until the acid is practically all neutralized, as indicated by the fact that evolution of hydrogen ceases. Filter from the undissolved iron, carbon, silicon, and other residues, using a folded filter, and evaporate to crystallization. If the solution oxidizes appreciably in the operation additional iron and acid must be added to effect reduction. Oxidation will be indicated by a change in color from bottle green to a yellowish shade of green, or by the formation of a rusty precipitate. 

Mars is almost free of clouds and the surface can be seen from the earth through a telescope. The results of the recent space probes (1073a) reveal that the surface temperature ranges from 188 to 243 K and the Martian poles are composed of substantial amounts of water ice, seasonally covered by C02 frost. The rusty-red color of the surface is caused by the presence of substantial amounts of iron oxides. The mean surface atmospheric pressure is 7.65 0.1 mbar. The temperature profile of the Mars atmosphere is given in Fig. VIII— 12.

We should take precautions not to introduce contamination from a sampling port or tap into the sampled water. Prior to flushing, we may wash dirty taps and ports with a non-phosphate detergent and water to remove dirt and dust, and rinse them on the outside with the water from the tap. We should never sample out of hoses, sprayers, and other tap attachments and should always replace rusty or leaking taps prior to sampling. 

We know the surface tension of water is 0.073 N/m, so we need to find the radius of curvature in order to calculate the upward pressure. The radius R is a function of the contact angle and the radius of the tube, r. Since r and R form two sides of a right triangle, we can use trigonometry to relate these two quantities. If you are rusty with trig functions, don t worry. The cosine function is just another mathematical operator on your calculator. Anyway, R is given by ...
