Bibliography on Corrosion Inhibitors For High Purity Water: A Report of NACE Technical Unit Committee T-3F, on Corrosion, High Purity and Related Waters in Nuclear Power and Steam Generating Plants. Prepared by Task Force T-3F-2, on Inhibitors

THIS IS THE SECOND in a series of bibliographies prepared by NACE Technical Unit Committee T-3F on Corrosion by High Purity and Related Waters in Nuclear Power and Steam Generating Plants.

R. F. Andres. Corrosion in the Boiler. Ind. Engr. Chem., 46, 990-2 (1954).

A resumé of recent theories and practices in the chemical treatment of boiler water for corrosion control is presented. Corrosion of Fe, Cu and Ni are reduced by elevation of feed water pH values to 9.0 by addition of NH₃ or amines. Pitting, caused by dissolved O₂, is controlled by use of Na₂SO₃ in alkaline feed water. N₂H₄ has been proposed since it is capable of elevating the pH of feed water and removing dissolved O₂. The control of Mg and Cu deposits and of caustic embrittlement are mentioned.
