An Overview of Corrosion, Inhibitors and Journals

This book provides an overview of causes, types of corrosion and inhibitors to combat corrosion. The corrosion journals in this book provide broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.

Hospital Grade Disinfectants

The number of new infectious diseases has dramatically risen in the last decades. The current coronavirus pandemic is in some ways unprecedented, but it also exposes an alarming pattern. The World Health Organization reports infectious diseases kill more than 17million people a year and more 30 new diseases have appeared in the last two decades. The complexity of tackling infectious diseases is also due to the world travel due to effluent of many developed countries. A health crisis on the other side of the globe is just a plane ride away. Currently, for many of these diseases, there is no treatment, cure, or vaccine. Medical chronic conditions like diabetes complicate health issues, more people will have weaker immune responses to fight off these burgeoning health threats. Hence the best form of defence against such infectious diseases is prevention, this book focuses on methods used to combat such diseases, as the old proverbial saying “Prevention is Better Than Cure”.

Turning Problems into Opportunity

We must solve societies' and life's problems, to enhance humanity's well-being. To raise the standard of living in society, we need to solve all the problems we face. If we ignore any of our or society's existential problems by sweeping under the rug, we will hinder either ours of progress or that of society. We must, therefore, understand the importance of the problem and necessity of solving." Nelson Cheng, PhD (H.C.), SRF.

Vappro Vbci

This Vappro VBCI mothballing reference guidebook provides guidelines for protecting infrastructure, equipment, and expensive capital assets during lull period for both onshore and offshore industries. Protecting the said complex and expensive infrastructure and equipment from destructive corrosion during system lay-up and mothballing is a critical concern for future reactivation. Preserved infrastructure is also more valuable in the event of sale of the asset as it prevents the drastic depreciation value of the capital assets due corrosion. This Vappro VBCI mothballing reference book main principal of concerns is mechanical, electrical, water handling systems and the combination of materials...

Vappro Vbci the Solution for Corrosion Control

The global economic cost from corrosion is estimated to be more than US$2.5 trillion, or equivalent to 3.4% of the global GDP. Corrosion costs the U.S. economy close to $300 billion per annum. About 100 billion dollars these costs could be remediated by application of corrosion-resistant materials and the use of corrosion-related technical practices such as corrosion inhibitors. A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical compound that, when added to a liquid or gas, decreases the corrosion rate of a metal, or its alloy that comes into contact with the fluid or vapour. These chemicals are both organic and inorganic compounds, which generally form a protective layer on the metal surface. Some corrosi...

Corrosion Inhibitors, Principles and Recent Applications

To protect metals or alloys from corrosion, some methods can be used such as isolating the structure from the aggressive media or compensating the loss of electrons from the corroded structure. The use of corrosion inhibitors may include organic and inorganic compounds that adsorb on the metallic structure to isolate it from its surrounding media to decrease oxidation-reduction processes. This book collects new developments about corrosion inhibitors and their recent applications.

Food Industrial Processes

The global food industry has the largest number of demanding and knowledgeable consumers: the world population of seven billion inhabitants, since every person eats! This population requires food products that fulfill the high quality standards established by the food industry organizations. Food shortages threaten human health and are aggravated by the disastrous, extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts, fires, storms connected to climate change, global warming and greenhouse gas emissions that modify the environment and, consequently, the production of foods in the agriculture and husbandry sectors. This collection of articles is a timely contribution to issues relating to the food industry. They were selected for use as a primer, an investigation guide and documentation based on modern, scientific and technical references. This volume is therefore appropriate for use by university researchers and practicing food developers and producers. The control of food processing and production is not only discussed in scientific terms; engineering, economic and financial aspects are also considered for the advantage of food industry managers.

Nowhere on Earth is there an ecological transformation so swift and so extreme as between the snow-line of the high Andes and the tropical rainforest of Amazonia. The different disciplines that research the human past in South America have long tended to treat these two great subzones of the continent as self-contained enough to be taken independently of each other. Objections have repeatedly been raised, however, to warn against imagining too sharp a divide between the people and societies of the Andes and Amazonia, when there are also clear indications of significant connections and transitions between them. Rethinking the Andes–Amazonia Divide brings together archaeologists, linguists, ...

Green Corrosion Inhibitors

A book to cover developments in corrosion inhibitors is long overdue. This has been addressed by Dr Sastri in a book which presents fundamental aspects of corrosion inhibition, historical developments and the industrial applications of inhibitors. The book deals with the electrochemical principles and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum chemical aspects and Hansch' s model and also with the various surface analysis techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in industry for corrosion inhibition. The applications of corrosion inhibition are wide ranging. Examples given in this book include: oil and gas wells, petrochemical plants, steel reinforced cement, water cooling systems, and many more. The final chapters discuss economic and environmental considerations which are now of prime importance. The book is written for researchers in academia and industry, practicing corrosion engineers and students of materials science, engineering and applied chemistry.
