Description
Summary:Sewerage systems consist of several different parts, components and materials. Many of them are metallic structures, such as pumps, valves, ladders and wells, which are necessary for the proper operation of wastewater transport systems. Wastewater pipelines can be a highly corrosive environment, mainly due to the presence of biogenic sulfuric acid. In the present study, seven magnesium hydroxide and one magnesium oxide materials were used as protective coatings applied onto the surface of certain stainless steel and mild steel specimens against sulfuric acid corrosion. The coated specimens were subjected to accelerated sulfuric acid spraying tests and their behavior was evaluated by using optical observation, mass measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. According to the results, the coating prepared from a magnesium hydroxide powder with relatively low specific surface area and smaller particle size was optimal for the protection of the examined steel specimens.
