Reviews the science and engineering of high-temperature corrosion and provides guidelines for selecting the best materials for an array of system processes High-temperature corrosion (HTC) is a widespread problem in an array of industries, including power generation, aerospace, automotive, and mineral and chemical processing, to name a few. This book provides engineers, physicists, and chemists with a balanced presentation of all relevant basic science and engineering aspects of high-temperature corrosion. It covers most HTC types, including oxidation, sulfidation, nitridation, molten salts, fuel-ash corrosion, H2S/H2 corrosion, molten fluoride/HF corrosion, and carburization. It also provid...
During the past several years there has been keen interest and activity in two fields of the fused salt chemistry, namely molten salt extractive metallurgy and high-temperature fuel cells.
Several long-term trends in technology evolution have become apparent since these symposia began in 1989. Earlier presenters more frequently discussed treatment methods involving harsh and extensive human intervention. As the symposia have continued, the number of presentations describing extremely harsh and expensive treatment technologies have gradually been supplanted by more subtle and gentler methods. Such methods include subsurface-engineered barriers, phytoremediation, and bioremediation. Nineteen manuscripts were selected for inclusion in this volume, based upon peer review, scientific merit, the editors' perceptions of lasting value or innovative features, and the general applicability of either the technology itself or the scientific methods and scholarly details provided by the authors. General topics include: soil treatment, groundwater treatment, and radioactive waste treatment.
Proceedings of the First European Federation of Corrosion Workshop on Microbial Corrosion held in Sintra, Portugal, 7-9 March 1988
Schon beim ersten Anblick zieht das Douro-Tal jeden Betrachter in seinen Bann. Noch immer ist die Gegend im Norden Portugals ein Geheimtipp und zählt zu den schönsten Kulturlandschaften Europas. Zwischen den geschwungenen Terrassen hat Christopher Pfaff in den letzten Jahren unzählige Weingüter besucht, außergewöhnliche Portweine probiert, in Restaurants geschlemmt und das UNESCO-Welterbe entdeckt. Er beschreibt die schönsten Weingüter, lohnende Sehenswürdigkeiten und gibt allerhand praktische Tipps für die Reise. Die Geschichten der Winzer sind dabei ebenso einmalig wie ihre Weine und die Region, in der sie entstehen. Mit zahlreichen Fotografien, einer Übersichtskarte und Empfehlungen zu Restaurants und Hotels.
