Definitions
- the invention relates to a simple and economical method for the controlled passivation of the inner walls of an air-open and / or closed cooling circuit system made of carbon steel with an oxygen-containing circulating therein as well as an aqueous cooling liquid containing alkali and alkaline earth bicarbonate, and the application of this method for electrochemical control and determination of the passivation state the metallic surfaces of the cooling liquid system, which come into contact with the aqueous cooling liquid, and for checking the quality of the cooling liquid, in particular water.
- open-air and / or closed cooling circuit system means a cooling system containing an aqueous cooling liquid, primarily water, the metallic surfaces of which come into contact with the aqueous cooling liquid are subject to corrosion.
- a cooling system can be a cooling circuit system that is open to air and / or a closed cooling circuit system.
- Corrosion a practically ubiquitous problem, is known to be the disadvantageous and quality-reducing change in the surface of the material that usually originates from the surface of a metallic material and is caused by chemical or electrochemical attacks on the corrosive medium flowing around this material in most cases.
- electrolytic solutions including water
- melts or gases can be considered as a corrosive medium.
- immersion, splash water and drip corrosion The corrosion damage to be borne annually in the industrialized countries reaches DM 100 per inhabitant and more. For the area of the (old) Federal Republic, the costs were estimated at 30 billion DM or about 2.5% of the gross national product. Avoiding or at least reducing corrosion damage is therefore of paramount importance.
- corrosion inhibition focuses primarily on carbon steel substrates, the most corrosion-sensitive material in a cooling circuit.
- active corrosion protection measures such as the modification of the material, the removal and blocking of particularly aggressive corrosive constituents and the use of corrosion inhibitor additives
- passive corrosion protection measures such as the application of coatings, protective layers, foils and the like, can be applied to those sensitive to corrosion Surfaces to prevent contact between the metallic material and the corrosive medium as much as possible.
- Passive corrosion protection measures i.e. Methods for forming passive corrosion protection layers on steel substrates are e.g. already known from US Pat. No. 3,817,795.
- the method described therein comprises contacting the steel substrate with an aqueous electrolyte solution, removing the steel substrate from the aqueous electrolyte solution and drying it in an oxygen-containing gas atmosphere, and repeating this process several times until the periodically repeated measurement of the electrode potential of the steel substrate in contact with the aqueous electrolyte solution assumes a stable value compared to a saturated calomel electrode, which is higher than 0 mV in the presence of water.
- the object of the invention was therefore to passivate the inner walls of a cooling circuit system made of (economical) carbon steel with a circulating, oxygen-containing and alkali and alkaline earth bicarbonate-containing aqueous cooling liquid in a controlled manner.
- the pH of the cooling liquid is preferably set to a value in the range from 8.5 to 9.5.
- the adjustment of the oxygen content of the cooling liquid is preferably carried out by introducing air or oxygen or by adding H202.
- An Ag / AgCl or an Hg / Hg 2 Cl 2 electrode is preferably used as the reference electrode.
- the measurement of the resting electrochemical potential is preferably carried out at a temperature in the range from 5 to 95 ° C., in particular in the range from 25 to 40 ° C.
- Another conventional corrosion inhibitor can preferably be added to the cooling liquid.
- the present invention relates to the use of the method described above for determining the passivation state of the metallic contact surfaces in aqueous cooling liquid systems and for checking the quality of the cooling liquid, in particular water.
- the passivation state of metallic contact surfaces in aqueous cooling systems can be easily determined, the corrosion inhibition can be effectively controlled and the quality of the cooling water, in particular of water in general, can be checked easily and quickly. It has been shown that the current passivation state in an aqueous cooling system and in particular in a cooling water circulation system can be determined in a very simple and reliable manner if a measuring device with a measuring electrode is arranged in the system and the surface state of this measuring electrode is measured their rest potential against a reference electrode. It has been shown that there is a direct correlation between the corrosion rate and the rest potential, the almost ideal passivation state corresponding to a characteristic value of the rest potential.
- the attached drawing shows the dependence of the corrosion rate (measured in 0.025 mm / day) as it occurs under varying conditions of alkalinity, the oxygen and chloride concentration in an air-open cooling water circuit system on the resting potential of the measuring electrode (measured in mV).
- the invention enables the operator of a cooling tower system to control and control the operation of his unit in such a way that the chemical conditions can be adjusted with the aim of producing an optimal passivation layer on the metallic surfaces.
- the current state is determined here by means of a display by means of a single parameter, the resting potential of the measuring electrode. This makes it possible to simplify the entire corrosion monitoring method considerably.
- the method according to the invention can also be used to evaluate corrosion inhibition methods which are used to effectively form a passivation layer on the metal surfaces.
- the basic concept of corrosion inhibition is to keep the solubility of the corrosion products as low as possible. Since the primary corrosion products of iron in water systems are iron hydroxide (Fe (OH) 2 ) or iron carbonate (FeC0 3 ), an increase in the pH value leads to a reduction in the solubility of the iron compounds.
- Fe (OH) 2 iron hydroxide
- FeC0 3 iron carbonate
- chromate To inhibit cooling water corrosion, chromate was first used as the oxidizing agent. It is an excellent corrosion inhibitor, but the use of this oxidizing anodic corrosion inhibitor is not harmless because a certain minimum concentration is required to avoid extensive localized corrosion. This minimum concentration is also referred to as the "dangerous inhibitor concentration".
- the primary oxidizing agent ie the primary corrosion inhibitor
- the primary corrosion inhibitor is dissolved oxygen, which because of its low solubility is normally also present in the dangerous inhibitor concentration.
- the minimum concentration of the oxidizing agent for anodic corrosion inhibition by means of oxidation depends strongly on the kinetics of the oxidation reaction. The oxidation must take place very close to the metal surface in order to achieve a permanent and even covering of the metal surface. For this reason, the magnitude of the dangerous inhibitor concentration also depends on the amount of the corrosion product that has to be oxidized. In the case of the oxygen saturation, this concentration is less than 10- 7 mol / I of Fe (II).
- the reaction products of the redox reactions are Fe (III) oxyhydrates, since Fe (II) does not exist in the presence of oxygen under these conditions.
- the Fe (III) oxyhydrate forms a thin but very effective passivation layer containing phosphonates.
- the anodic passivation described above which prevents anodic iron dissolution, leads to a measurable change in the resting potential.
- the passivation layer formed has the electron conductivity properties of a semiconductor, which gives it cathodic activity. Because of its cathodic reaction on the passivation layers, oxygen causes an increase in the metal potential, which is answered by the iron solution reaction. However, if the passivation layer is sufficiently impermeable to ions, iron dissolution is prevented and the reaction rate drops to negligible values. Since these conditions are entirely due to the prevention of iron dissolution (anodic inhibition), the potential is increased if the corrosion rates are reduced. In order to determine and control the conditions under which this passivation layer forms and the passivation is maintained, the resting potential of an iron electrode in the cooling water is measured according to the invention.
- a measuring electrode made of carbon steel is combined with a reference electrode, preferably an Ag / AgCl electrode, and the resting potential is measured.
- a reference electrode preferably an Ag / AgCl electrode
- Another suitable reference electrode is the calomel electrode. If, under these conditions, a resting potential of more than -300 mV (eg more than -250 mV) is reached, the dissolution on the iron electrode and the mild steel surfaces that are in contact with the cooling water is due to the corrosion process minimal. In contrast, a corrosive iron electrode typically has a rest potential of around -500 mV.
- ferrous metal surfaces can be transferred analogously to other metals.
- carbon steel and other steel alloys come into consideration as metallic materials.
- the method according to the invention also opens up a method for determining the water quality.
- the method according to the invention can also be integrated into any corrosion inhibition method, it being possible to use corrosion inhibitors which are known per se and, if appropriate, further water treatment agents, since the resting potential measurement allows a broad approximation to the "ideal" passivation state. Likewise, it enables testing and evaluation of newly developed corrosion inhibitors in a simple manner.
- the material of the measuring electrode corresponds to the composition of the metallic material which is at risk of corrosion
- immediate and current information about the passivation state of the metal surface is obtained via the measurement of the resting potential.
- the measuring arrangement with measuring electrode can also be arranged in multiple copies, so that the entire state of corrosion can be determined in an aqueous coolant system.
- the pH of the water system is adjusted to values from 8.0 to 10.5 and preferably from 8.5 to 9.5.
- the passivation is greatest under these alkalinity conditions.
- the operator of a cooling water circuit is thus enabled by the invention to keep the corrosion state close to the ideal passivation or to take appropriate measures when the measured resting potential increases (i.e. in the case of more negative values).
- the oxygen concentration in an open-air cooling water circulation system should be set to a value in the range of 1 to 50 mg / I, which in certain cases can also be achieved by adding oxygen (air or pure oxygen) or by adding H 2 0 2 can be reached.
- the resting potential measurement is preferably carried out at temperatures in the range from 5 ° C. to 95 ° C. and preferably from 25 ° C. to 40 ° C. Temperatures outside this range are, however, often predetermined in the operating state by the corresponding water-containing cooling system.
- the method according to the invention is also suitable here for controlled passivation and current determination of the passivation state.
