..., microbiological (e.g., metagenomics, microbial community structure analyses), and physical analyses of fuel, water, vapor, sediment, and corrosion scraping samples from six retail fueling stations USTs. In all cases, ethanol and acetic acid contamination was detected in the USTs. Further, aerobic bacteria, whose...

... behavior of Alloy 22 (N06022) in 1M NaCl solutions at various pH values from acidic to neutral at 90°C. All the tested material was wrought Mill Annealed (MA). Tests were also performed in NaCl solutions containing weak organic acids such as oxalic, acetic, citric and picric acids. Results show...

..., at different pH values between 1 and 6, with and without the addition of acetic or oxalic acids. Small amounts of HCl were added in order to adjust solution pH of pure NaCl solutions. The test temperature was 90.0 ± 0.1°C. Solutions were prepared with analytical grade chemicals and 18.2 MΩ resistivity water...

... by the virtually unlimited number of possible compounds. The corrosion of metals by organic acid is often confounded by trace impurities such as oxygen and metallic salts. This paper concentrates on corrosion by acetic, formic and propionic acids and gives some information on longer chain organic acids. Organic...
