Salt water effect

As an example of the effect that corrosion can have on connnercial industries, consider the corrosive effects of salt water on a seagoing vessel. Corrosion can drastically affect a ship s perfonnance and fiiel consumption over a period of time. As the hull of a steel boat becomes corroded and fouled by marine growths, the... 

In the isolation of organic compounds from aqueous solutions, use is frequently made of the fact that the solubility of many organic substances in water is considerably decreased by the presence of dissolved inorganic salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, ammonium sulphate, etc.). This is the so-called salting-out effect. A further advantage is that the solubility of partially miscible organic solvents, such as ether, is considerably less in the salt solution, thus reducing the loss of solvent in extractions. 

A = 4.05 X lO " cm/(s-kPa)(4.1 X 10 cm/(s-atm)) and = 1.3 x 10 cm/s (4)//= 1 mPa-s(=cP), NaCl diffusivity in water = 1.6 x 10 cm /s, and solution density = 1 g/cm . Figure 4 shows typical results of this type of simulation of salt water permeation through an RO membrane. Increasing the Reynolds number in Figure 4a decreases the effect of concentration polarization. The effect of feed flow rate on NaCl rejection is shown in Figure 4b. Because the intrinsic rejection, R = 1 — Cp / defined in terms of the wall concentration, theoretically R should be independent of the Reynolds... 

Because of hydrate formation, the sodium salts tend to be difficult to dry. Excess water over that of hydration is beheved to accelerate the decomposition of the xanthate salts. The effect of heat on the dryiag of sodium ethyl xanthate at 50°C has been studied (84) ...

The annular space between the outer pipe and the surrounding rock is filled with cement over the whole depth up to the ground in new wells. The purpose of this is to seal the deposits at the top and to keep the fresh water and salt water zones separate. In addition, it serves as a protection against pressure from the rock and as corrosion protection which, however, is only effective so long as there is no current exit caused by extended corrosion of cells or due to foreign anodic influences. The cement Ailing of the borehole casing is usually not uniformly spread over the pipe surface. It has to be remembered that there can be sections which are either not covered or are only thinly covered with cement.

By the use of many commercial abrasive processes, the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys can be reduced to such an extent that samples of metal that may lie quiescent in salt water for many hours will, after shot blasting, evolve hydrogen vigorously, and the corrosion rate, as measured by loss of weight, will be found to have increased many hundred-fold. The effect in normal atmospheres is naturally much less, yet the activation of the surface is an added hazard and is the opposite of passivation which is essential if later-applied paint finishes are to have proper durability. 

Other Organisms Tested with Aponin. It is probably impossible to satisfy all persons interested in the effect of aponin or other organisms because the range of potentially affected organisms is so great. Nevertheless a number of organisms have been tested. We tested fish which were adapted to salt water (Poecilia sphenops)... 

The effect of dissolved hydrophilic electrolytes on the interaction between organic solutes and water can be described by the salting-in and salting-out effects. Dissolved electrolytes usually increase the internal pressure in water, through a volume-reducing process that... 

Similarly, concepts of solvation must be employed in the measurement of equilibrium quantities to explain some anomalies, primarily the salting-out effect. Addition of an electrolyte to an aqueous solution of a non-electrolyte results in transfer of part of the water to the hydration sheath of the ion, decreasing the amount of free solvent, and the solubility of the nonelectrolyte decreases. This effect depends, however, on the electrolyte selected. In addition, the activity coefficient values (obtained, for example, by measuring the freezing point) can indicate the magnitude of hydration numbers. Exchange of the open structure of pure water for the more compact structure of the hydration sheath is the cause of lower compressibility of the electrolyte solution compared to pure water and of lower apparent volumes of the ions in solution in comparison with their effective volumes in the crystals. Again, this method yields the overall hydration number.
