Abstract
Zirconium is a pivotal material often specified for process equipment that handles highly corrosive sulfuric acid solutions. Because of the complicated nature of sulfuric acid, several factors should be addressed to ensure the durability of zirconium equipment. These factors include acid concentration, temperature, pressure, impurity, stress, crevice, welding, and surface condition Depending on the situation, certain potential hazards to zirconium equipment can be prevented by applying control measures such as heat treatment, proper design and operation, inhibitor, surface
