Experiences of reactive metal corrosion in organic acids will be discussed Emphasis will be placed on anhydrous organic solutions and organic acids containing halides which are often added as catalysts or promoters. The case examples will illustrate the importance of evaluating reactive metals under conditions that closely simulate actual process chemistry type of exposure (vapor liquid condensate) and final fabricated form, to ensure that the material will provide predictable long term service in a commercial facility.
