Chemical Additives for Corrosion Control in Desalination Plants
The addition of chemical additives has been considered as a standard
operation in water treatment systems. This chapter discusses the chemical
additives used for the control of corrosion in desalination systems. Specifically,
corrosion inhibitors for various metallurgies, biocides, and oxygen scavengers
are covered. The pros and cons of the additive chemicals have been
highlighted. The need to utilize green corrosion inhibitors based on plants and
ionic liquids materials have been emphasized. This class of materials are
environmentally friendly, cheap, and readily available
