The Electrochemical Behavior of Alloy in Extreme Chloride and Bitrate Environments
Alloy 22 specimens were tested in high temperature (100 to 160 C), high concentration chloride and nitrate environments. Results of this study indicate that increasing nitrate to chloride ratio to 0.5 in these electrolytes increases resistance to localized breakdown and enhances repassivation. In these extreme environments, localized corrosion occurred by pitting even though specimens were tested using artificial crevice formers. Open circuit (E{sub corr}), breakdown and repassivation potentials all increase, and pitting morphology changes as nitrate to chloride ratio increases from 0.05 and 0.15 to 0.5. Results also indicate that increasing the temperature from 100 to 160 C increases E{sub corr} values, while breakdown potentials and repassivation potentials peak at 130 C for the 0.5 nitrate to chloride ratio electrolytes
Influence of Black Annealing Oxide Scale on the Anodic Behavior of Alloy 22
The resistance of Alloy 22 (N06022) to localized corrosion, mainly crevice corrosion, has been extensively investigated in the last few years. The effect of influencing variables such as temperature, applied potential, chloride concentration and nitrate inhibitor concentration have been addressed previously. At this time, it was important to address the effect an oxide film or scale that forms during the high temperature annealing process or solution heat treatment (SHT) and its subsequent water quenching. Electrochemical tests such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) have been carried out to determine the repassivation potential for localized corrosion and to assess the mode of attack on the specimens. Tests have been carried out in parallel using mill annealed (MA) specimens free from oxide on the surface. The comparative testing was carried out in six different electrolyte solutions at temperatures ranging from 60 to 100 C. Results show that the repassivation potential of the specimens containing the black anneal oxide film on the surface was practically the same as the repassivation potential for oxide-free specimens

Anodic Behavior of Alloy 22 in High Nitrate Brines at Temperatures Higher than 100(degree)C
Alloy 22 (N06022) may be susceptible to crevice corrosion in chloride solutions. Nitrate acts as an inhibitor to crevice corrosion. Several papers have been published regarding the effect of nitrate on the corrosion resistance of Alloy 22 at temperatures 100 C and lower. However, very little is known about the behavior of this alloy in highly concentrated brines at temperatures above 100 C. In the current work, electrochemical tests have been carried out to explore the anodic behavior of Alloy 22 in high chloride high nitrate electrolytes at temperatures as high as 160 C at ambient atmospheres. Even though Alloy 22 may adopt corrosion potentials in the order of +0.5 V (in the saturated silver chloride scale), it does not suffer crevice corrosion if there is high nitrate in the solution. That is, the inhibitive effect of nitrate on crevice corrosion is active for temperatures higher than 100 C

Effect of Nitrate on the Repassivation Potential of Alloy 22 in Chloride Containing Environments.
The study of Alloy 22 was undertaken in several selected nitrate/chloride (NO{sub 3}{sup -}/Cl{sup -}) electrolytes with chloride concentrations [Cl{sup -}] of 1.0, 3.5 and 6.0 molal with [NO{sub 3} {sup -}]/[Cl{sup -}] ratios of 0.05, 0.15 and 0.5 at temperatures up to 100 C. Results showed that the repassivation potentials increased with increase in [NO{sub 3} {sup -}]/[Cl{sup -}] ratio and decreased with increase in temperature. The absolute [Cl{sup -}] was found to have less of an effect on the repassivation potential compared with temperature and the NO{sub 3} {sup -}/Cl{sup -}. Regression analyses were carried out and expressions were derived to describe the relationship between the repassivation potential, temperature, [Cl{sup -}] and [NO{sub 3} {sup -}] for the conditions tested

Effect of Organic Acid Additions on the General and Localized Corrosion Susceptibility of Alloy 22 in Chloride Solutions
Electrochemical studies such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were performed to determine the corrosion behavior of Alloy 22 (N06022) in 1M NaCl solutions at various pH values from acidic to neutral at 90 C. All the tested material was wrought Mill Annealed (MA). Tests were also performed in NaCl solutions containing weak organic acids such as oxalic, acetic, citric and picric. Results show that the corrosion rate of Alloy 22 was significantly higher in solutions containing oxalic acid than in solutions of pure NaCl at the same pH. Citric and picric acids showed a slightly higher corrosion rate, and acetic acid maintained the corrosion rate of pure chloride solutions at the same pH. Organic acids revealed to be weak inhibitors for crevice corrosion. Higher concentration ratios, compared to nitrate ions, were needed to completely inhibit crevice corrosion in chloride solutions. Results are discussed considering acid dissociation constants, buffer capacity and complex formation constants of the different weak acids
Synergistic effect p-phenylenediamine and n,n diphenylthiourea on the electrochemical corrosion behaviour of mild steel in dilute acid media
Electrochemical studies of the synergistic effect
of p-phenylenediamine and n,n diphenylthiourea (TPD) as
corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in dilute sulphuric and
hydrochloric acid through weight loss and potentiodynamic
polarization at ambient temperature were performed.
Experimental results showed the excellent performance of
TPD with an optimal inhibition efficiency of 88.18 and
93.88 %in sulphuric and 87.42 and 87.15 %in hydrochloric
acid from both tests at all concentration studied. Polarization
studies show the compound to be a mixed-type inhibitor.
Adsorption of deanol on the steel surface was observed to
obey the Langmuir and Frumkin isotherm models. X-ray
diffractometry confirmed the absence of corrosion products
and complexes. Optical microscopy confirmed the selective
inhibition property of TPD to be through chemical adsorption
on the steel surfac
Formation and physicochemical properties of crystalline and amorphous salts with different stoichiometries formed between ciprofloxacin and succinic acid
YesMulti-ionizable compounds, such as dicarboxylic
acids, offer the possibility of forming salts of drugs with
multiple stoichiometries. Attempts to crystallize ciprofloxacin,
a poorly water-soluble, amphoteric molecule with succinic acid
(S) resulted in isolation of ciprofloxacin hemisuccinate (1:1)
trihydrate (CHS-I) and ciprofloxacin succinate (2:1) tetrahydrate
(CS-I). Anhydrous ciprofloxacin hemisuccinate (CHS-II)
and anhydrous ciprofloxacin succinate (CS-II) were also
obtained. It was also possible to obtain stoichiometrically
equivalent amorphous salt forms, CHS-III and CS-III, by spray
drying and milling, respectively, of the drug and acid. Anhydrous CHS and CS had melting points at ∼215 and ∼228 °C, while
the glass transition temperatures of CHS-III and CS-III were ∼101 and ∼79 °C, respectively. Dynamic solubility studies revealed
the metastable nature of CS-I in aqueous media, resulting in a transformation of CS-I to a mix of CHS-I and ciprofloxacin 1:3.7
hydrate, consistent with the phase diagram. CS-III was observed to dissolve noncongruently leading to high and sustainable drug
solution concentrations in water at 25 and 37 °C, with the ciprofloxacin concentration of 58.8 ± 1.18 mg/mL after 1 h of the
experiment at 37 °C. This work shows that crystalline salts with multiple stoichiometries and amorphous salts have diverse
pharmaceutically relevant properties, including molecular, solid state, and solubility characteristics.Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster (SSPC), supported by Science Foundation Ireland under grant number 07/SRC/ B1158

Comparison of the Crevice Corrosion Resistance of Alloys 625 and C22
The effects of electrolyte composition and oxide film age on the crevice corrosion properties of alloys 625 and C22 were studied at 95 C. Critical potentials were determined using conventional current density thresholds. Crevice stabilization potentials are influenced by the bulk electrolyte composition, oxide properties, and alloy dissolution behavior. Repassivation and deactivation potentials are controlled by the chemistry of the crevice solution, mass transport considerations, and the electrochemical properties of the alloys. Critical potential data also showed the large influence of air formed oxide film age on stabilization. Air aged C22 specimens exhibited the highest resistance to crevice corrosion in terms of critical crevice potentials, while freshly polished C22 exhibited the lowest resistance
