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.
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...
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”.
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...
This book covers hydrocarbon pollution, measurement techniques for hydrocarbons, risk assessment, and environmental impact. This comprehensive book takes a broad view of the subject and integrates a wide variety of approaches. This book attempts to address the needs of graduate and postgraduate students and other professionals or readers interested in food, soil, water, and air pollution. The aim of this book is to explain and clarify important studies, and compare and develop the new and groundbreaking measurement techniques. Written by leading experts in their respective areas, the book is highly recommended to professionals interested in environmental and human health because it provides specific and comprehensive examples.
