AI Thread Summary
The latest techniques for corrosion control focus on breaking the galvanic circuit that drives corrosion processes, primarily through the application of impermeable coatings like paint to protect metals from their environment. Metals can develop protective oxide layers, as seen with stainless steel, but these layers can be compromised in harsh conditions such as exposure to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures. Modifying the environment is also a strategy, which can involve adjusting pH levels, altering chemical species, or changing temperature and flow characteristics. A notable recent advancement in corrosion control is the use of protective packaging inhibitors, which are particularly effective in sealed equipment and during shipping, enhancing the longevity and durability of materials.

i want to know the very latest technique for corrosion control
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org


Corrosion control is a broad topic and the application depends on the material being protected and the environment.

Usually corrosion control involves breaking the galvanic circuit which drives the corrosion processes (oxidation/reduction reactions), often placing some impermeable coating on the material being protected, thus separating it from its environment, e.g. paint on a metal surface.

Metals can form protective oxides on the surface, which is how stainless steel protects itself. However, in some harsh environments such as aggressive chemicals or high temperature or abrasives, the oxide layer could be damaged and it may not be as protective.

Sometimes the environment may be modified by changing the chemistry e.g. pH or particuarly chemical species, or the temperature could be reduced, or flow characteristics (assuming gas or liquid) changed.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
