The Roman aqueducts, the earliest of which were constructed over two millennia ago, are considered to be one of the greatest engineering marvels for transporting water from a remote source to a location where it could be effectively used. More recently, the Colorado River Aqueduct received similar acclaim for delivering…
Corrosion is an omnipresent issue when working with metals. For example, corrosion is an ongoing problem in petroleum extraction, refining, and shipping. The carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in crude oil reacts with steel alloys to form iron precipitates, degrading the structural integrity of the steel. Hydrogen can also infiltrate…
Modern industry requires working with industrial-scale quantities of chemicals, gases, and other substances, many of which are incredibly corrosive. In dry climates, for instance, producing drinking water might mean piping large amounts of corrosive seawater into desalination plants. One solution for dealing with these corrosive substances is to use process…
