Sarver INSIGHTS INTO NON-UNIFORM COPPER AND BRASS CORROSION IN POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS Emily Allyn Sarver ABSTRACT Non-uniform corrosion of copper and brass in potable water systems poses both economic and environmental problems associated with premature plumbing failures and release of metals. With respect to copper pitting corrosion, it was found that forensic testing (i.e., in pipe-loops) is the only investigative technique that can closely mimic conditions found in real water systems and produce unambiguous results; and, if used in combination with electrochemical techniques, it may also provide some mechanistic insights into the pitting process. Using pipe-loops, it was demonstrated that copper pitting in aggressive water qualities (i.e., chlorinated, high pH and low alkalinity) is deterministic and reproducible. Additionally, the effects of various chemical and physical factors on pitting were investigated. Overall, increased flow velocity and frequency, increased chlorine residual and decreased hardness were found to accelerate pitting; whereas increased phosphate and silica were found to decelerate pitting. Several mitigation strategies for copper pitting in aggressive water were further investigated, and experimental data were interpreted utilizing electrochemical theory to evaluate specific effects on the initiation and propagation phases of pitting.

Herein, a general and facile strategy is developed to engineer cobalt oxide nanostructures via selective acid leaching for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A leaching process is implemented to selectively remove CoMoO4 by treating mixed Co–Mo oxides in diluted hydrochloric acid solution, resulting in the formation of sub-5 nm particles and a threefold increase in the specific surface area (up to 150 m2 gÀ1). The leached oxides exhibit superior OER activity to pristine oxides as a result of (i) a larger surface area, (ii) phase purification to expose more active Co3O4 species to the reactant, and (iii) faster charge transfer kinetics for the OER. This strategy can be Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. also applied to a broader range of earth-abundant metals, where a second metal (Li, Ca, and Mg) is Received 19th July 2019 selectively leached out, which results in a material with a larger surface area and enhanced catalytic Accepted 15th September 2019 performance for the OER.

Thus, efficient recycling is important. In this study, the Taguchi method was used to find the optimal selective lithium leaching parameters for spent LIB recycling. Orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio, and analysis of variance were employed to investigate the optimization of selective lithium leaching. The experimental pa- rameters were heat treatment and leaching conditions. The lithium leaching ratio was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The reaction temperature was analyzed by thermogravimetry differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) using lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and carbon powder, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed after heat treatment at different temperatures. From ◦ ◦ the XRD analysis, a Li2CO3 peak was observed at 700 C. After heat treatment at 850 C, a peak of ◦ Li2O was confirmed as Li2CO3 decomposed into Li2O and CO2 over 723 C. The Li2O reacts with Co3O4 at a high temperature to form LCO. The phase of lithium in the LIB changes according to the conditional heat treatment, affecting the lithium leaching rates.

  • Dezincification and Brass Lead Leaching in Premise Plumbing Systems: Effects of Alloy, Physical Conditions and Water Chemistry
    Dezincification and Brass Lead Leaching in Premise Plumbing Systems: Effects of Alloy, Physical Conditions and Water Chemistry Yaofu Zhang Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Environmental Engineering Marc A. Edwards, Chair Gregory D. Boardman Linsey C. Marr December 9, 2009 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Dezincification, Brass Lead Leaching, Water Chemistry, Alloy composition, Physical Condition Copyright 2009, Yaofu Zhang Dezincification and Brass Lead Leaching in Premise Plumbing Systems: Effects of Alloy, Physical Conditions and Water Chemistry Yaofu Zhang ABSTRACT Brass components are widely used in drinking water distribution systems as valves, faucets and other fixtures. They can be corroded by “dezincification,” which is the selective leaching of zinc from the alloy. Dezincification in potable water systems has important practical consequences that include clogged water lines, premature system failure and leaks, and release of contaminants such as lead. Brass failures attributed to dezincification are known to occur at least occasionally all over the world, and have emerged as a significant problem in the U.S. recently due to the use of inexpensive high zinc brass fittings in cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plumbing systems. As PEX systems gain popularity and leaded brass is recognized as an important source of lead in potable water systems, it is important to examine dezincification corrosion in more detail. An in-depth literature review revealed that conventional wisdom about dezincification was no longer adequate in explaining failures observed in modern water systems. Little research has been conducted since the landmark work of Turner et al.

An example of such corrosion is the rusting of steel plate in seawater. If the rate of metal loss is known, allowances can be made in design and maintenance to accommodate the corrosion. Although it is termed uniform corrosion, it is characterized by the average surface loss. Uniform corrosion of storage tanks [from Jones (1996)]. 5.2 Galvanic Corrosion When two different metals are exposed to a corrosive environment, an electrical potential difference will exist. If the two metals are electrically connected, the more active metal will become the anode in the resulting galvanic cell and its corrosion will be increased.

The effects of varying the liquid–solid ratio, leaching temperature, stirring speed, and leaching time on the zinc leaching efficiency were determined, and the optimum values of these parameters were found to be 15:1, 90 ◦C, 400 rpm, and 600 min, respectively, at which a leaching efficiency of 86.87% was achieved. XRF and EDS analyses confirmed that the zinc content in the sludge decreased noticeably after leaching, while those of other elements did not, indicating the selective and efficient leaching of zinc. A study of the leaching kinetics showed that the reaction conforms to the nuclear shrinkage model without solid product layer formation, and the calculated apparent activation energy is 22.16 kJ/mol.

  • Selective Nickel Leaching from Nickel and Cobalt Mixed Sulfide
    Materials Transactions ©2018 The Japan Institute of Metals and Materials Selective Nickel Leaching from Nickel and Cobalt Mixed Sulfide Using Sulfuric Acid+1 Hiroshi Kobayashi+2, Hirofumi Shoji, Satoshi Asano and Masaki Imamura NIIHAMA RESEARCH LABORATORIES, SUMITOMO METAL MINING CO., LTD., Niihama 792-0002, Japan Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. (SMM) has gradually increased the mixed sulfide (MS: mixture of nickel and cobalt sulfides) production from nickel laterite ore as raw material for the SMM’s unique Matte Chlorine Leach and Electro-winning (MCLE) process over the past decade. This process has significant cost advantages because it is capable of selectively and effectively leaching nickel from MS; however, chlorine leaching requires expensive corrosion-resistant facilities. A new process that could be operated using lower-cost facilities has therefore been desired. To meet its development needs, this study evaluated a process for nickel-selective leaching from MS, which is similar to the existing process for refining of ZnS. The process uses sulfuric acid, which does not require high-cost facilities. However, selective nickel leaching from MS, which was the process development goal, could not be achieved. This result is quite different from the case of selective Zn leaching from ZnS. The mechanism of nickel leaching from MS using sulfuric acid was identified. It was shown that nickel-selective leaching using sulfuric acid is difficult because of the formation of elemental sulfur and NiS2 precipitates on the MS surface that interfere with the leaching reaction.

This residue is commonly sent to other parties that partly recover the contained elements. These elements can generate revenues if recovered at the zinc plant site. A series of laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate a method to process a zinc plant residue with the objective of recovering cobalt into a salable product. The proposed process comprises washing, selective leaching, purifying and precipitation of cobalt following its oxidation. The process allows the production of a cobalt rich hydroxide precipitate assaying 45 4% Co, 0.8 0.2% Zn, 4.4 0.7% Cu, and 0.120 0.004% Cd at a 61 14% Co recovery.
