Abstract

Scale containing iron oxides, copper and copper oxides is removed from e.g. boiler and heat exchanger tubes, and the cleaned surfaces passivated using a neutral solution of ammonium citrate. The process is then continued with a pH of at least 9 until the copper content of the solution is constant. The solution may be agitated with air or nitrogen. Oxidizing agents, e.g. air, oxygen or nitrogen tetraoxide or the sodium, potassium or ammonium salts of persulphates, perchlorates, bromates and nitrites, potassium permanganate, or the sodium salt of nitrophenylsulphoric acid, may be added to the solution.
