Preface to the Second Edition Although a better understanding of the mechanisms of corrosion has occurred over the past ten years since the publication of the first edition of this book, corrosion still remains a major problem. One area in which some advances have been made is the understanding of the weathering mechanisms of building materials, especially where related to monuments of the past. The weathering of building materials has been added as new sections in Chapters 2 (Fundamentals) and 5 (Corrosion of Specific Crystalline Materials). Although the work on weathering of building materials has been done predominantly by civil engineers, it should be of interest to the ceramic engineer. More information has become available concerning the corrosion of composite materials of all types. The strong interest in composites materials has been enhanced by the aerospace industry and the military. Because of this, a whole new chapter (Chapter 7) has been devoted to composite materials. In addition, new sections have been added on bioceramics (Chapter 5). New literature sources have been added to all chapters where appropriate. v Copyright © 2004 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. vi Preface to the Second Edition The first edition of this book was written to be used primarily as a reference book. Questions have been added at the end of the most chapters and additional examples have been included along with recommended reading lists so that this second edition may also be used as a textbook for either a senior level undergraduate or a graduate course on corrosion. Ronald A.McCauley Copyright © 2004 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. Preface to the First Edition One of the most important problems confronting engineers today is the development of materials that are reliable under various environmental conditions. In some cases these conditions are considered extremely hostile—very high temperatures, mechanical loading, and/or aggressive chemical attack. Ambient temperature aqueous attack can also be extremely detrimental, especially over an extended period of time, as in the case of hazardous waste disposal. Engineers and scientists have been combating the attack upon ceramics of molten glass, molten metals and slags, and molten salts for hundreds of years with many improvements. Most of these improvements have occurred through experimentation, eventually finding the material that worked best. Only during the past 25 years has a true understanding of the complexities of corrosion of ceramics begun to develop. Major advances have been made in recent years; however, the details in many cases are still questionable or at least debatable. The cost to industry due to corrosion is considerable and only a thorough understanding of all the complexities of the process will help vii Copyright © 2004 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. viii Preface to the First Edition to minimize that cost. There will undoubtedly be many applications of ceramics where the ceramic will be consumed during service, but maximizing service life will greatly reduce the overall cost. While several books, mostly in the form of symposia proceedings, have been published on various aspects of corrosion of crystalline and glassy ceramics, generally on the newer, advanced materials, none has addressed the subject in a comprehensive manner. The most significant works have been reported in the technical literature; however, reading all the published articles is a formidable task. This book is an attempt to discuss all aspects of the corrosion of ceramics, but no attempt has been made to complete an exhaustive literature review. Although not all areas have been described in great detail, a summary of some of the most important work has been given with references for the interested reader. This book is based upon a combination of lecture notes from the Advanced Refractories course that the author has taught at Rutgers during the past 15 years and the author’s industrial and consulting experiences. It is intended predominantly as a reference work for practicing engineers and research scientists but could also be used as a text for a graduate-level course in corrosion of ceramics. Any comments or suggestions about the content of this book will be most welcome. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank the faculty and students of the Department of Ceramic and Materials Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, for many helpful and thoughtful discussions during the preparation of this book and especially Drs. John Wachtman and M. John Matthewson for reviewing a portion of the manuscript and for their valuable suggestions. The author would like to extend a very special thank you to Mr. William Englert of PPG Industries, who first introduced the author to the fascinating field of corrosion of ceramics. Gratitude must also be extended to Mrs. Mary Guerin for her help in preparation of the manuscript and to Paul Mort, Robert Sabia, John Martin, and Ryan McCuiston for their help in preparing the figures. The author would like to extend

  • Dupont™ Ligasep™ CO2 Removal by Dealkalization with Weak Acid
    Tech Fact Removal of CO2 in Dealkalization with Weak Acid Cation Resin Application Carbon dioxide (CO2) in water is present as an equilibrium mixture of the dissolved − 2− Description gas CO2, the weak acid H2CO3, and the HCO3 and CO3 anions associated with bicarbonate and carbonate alkalinity. The exact equilibrium ratio of these four species depends on the pH and temperature of the water. In a dealkalization system using a weak acid cation (WAC) resin in the H-form, the system removes alkalinity and partially softens the water. The WAC resin exchanges hydrogen ions for hardness ions associated with alkalinity. The resulting low pH converts bicarbonate and carbonate alkalinity to dissolved CO2 gas, which is then removed by degasification. Reliably and effectively removing as much CO2 as possible by degasification reduces the amount of alkalinity that could form posttreatment due to equilibrium conversion of CO2 and protects sensitive downstream processes and equipment from potential CO2-related corrosion. Solution DuPont™ Ligasep™ Degasification Modules use a proprietary polymethylpentene (PMP) hollow fiber membrane that provides an efficient transfer of gases between a liquid and a gas. The membrane does not allow water to pass through the membrane but freely allows gas to pass through. Equilibrium between the liquid and gas phase is offset when a vacuum and a strip gas is applied to one side of the membrane. This creates a driving force to move dissolved gases from the water to the gas side of the membrane. Ligasep™ Degasification Modules offer a clean, efficient and stable process to decarbonate water to concentrations of 5 mg/L or less of CO2 (8.35 mg/L as CaCO3) to reduce the load on downstream ion exchange equipment.
