Many rivers and seas have been affected by environmental contamination. Therefore, city water supplies often require a high-degree purification treatment to provide safe drinking water. However, in order to achieve a high-degree purification treatment, a large amount of chlorine has to be added to sterilize city drinking water. The added chlorine reacts chemically with water and forms hypochlorous and chlorine ions. The hypochlorous ionizes with hypochlorous ions and hydrogen ions. As a result, the city water contains a large amount of chlorine ion. As such, when city water is used with domestic boilers, many kinds of heat exchangers, and the engines of vehicle and ships, there are often corrosion problems. In this study, alkali water was electrochemically made by electrolysis of city water, and corrosion properties between alkali and city water were investigated with an electrochemical method. Most of the chlorine ions are thought to not be contained in the alkali water because the alkali water is created in the cathodic chamber with an electrolysis process. In other words, the chlorine ion can be mostly removed by its migration from a cathodic chamber to an anodic chamber. Moreover, the alkali water also contains a large amount of hydroxide ion. The alkali water indicated relatively good corrosion resistance compared to the city water and the city water exhibited a local corrosion pattern due to the chlorine ion created by a high-degree purification treatment. In contrast, the alkali water showed a general corrosion pattern. Consequently, alkali water can be used with cooling water to inhibit local corrosion by chlorine ions in domestic boilers, various heat exchangers and the engine of ships and for structural steel in a marine structure.

Using alkali treatment solution, neutrality treatment solution and acid treatment solution, the surface corrosion layer of copper plates and bronze plates that have been artificially corroded using HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ solutions were removed. In the case of alkali treatment solution, only air oxidation in the form of black tenorite and white cuproous chloride remained without being removed. In the case of using a neutrality treatment solution, a anhydrous type layer of reddish brown cupric chloride remained without being removed, together with this black and white corrosion substance. In the case of using an acid treatment solution, this red corrosion substance also remained, but all of the oxide was removed on the surface of the specimen that was treated by alternatively using alkali treatment solution and acid treatment solution. In the case of this treatment solution with the order of alkali-acid, oxidation no longer proceeded only through the distilled water cleaning process after treatment, thereby showing that oxidation from the cleaning solution no longer proceeded.

This paper reports the studies on the wear-corrosion behavior of ductile cast iron in the various pH environments. In the variety of pH solutions, corrosion and wear-corrosion loss of GCD 600 were investigated. Also, the anodic polarization test of GCD 600 using potentiostat/galvanostat was carried out. And rubbed surface of GCD 60 using scanning electron micrographs after immersion and wear-corrosion test was examined in the environment of various pH values. The main results are as following In alkali zone, the wear-corrosion loss of GCD 600 increases, but corrosion loss decreases. The unevenness and crack of wear-corrosion surface in neutral zone becomes duller than that in alkali zone. As the corrosive environment is acidified, wear-corrosion behavior of GCD 600 with passing immersion time becomes sensitive.

Theoretical predictions were made for thermodynamically stable phases which formed when alkali(sodium and Potassium) vapors reacted with the 90% $Al_2O_3$-10% $Cr_2O_3$ refractory under coal gasifying atmosphere using the computer program of SOLGASMIX-PV. The calculation results showed that the stable compounds that formed were $X_2O$.$Al_2O_3$ and $X_2O$.$llAl_2O_3$(X=$Na^+$ or $K^+$), depending upon the alkali concentration. The presence of sulfur in gasifying atmospheres did not appear to affect the species of alkali reaction products. Alkali attack at high temperatures is likely to cause serious degradation at the hot face of the refractory, indicating that the alkali concentration is an important factor to affect the degradation of the refroctory.

Theoretical predictions for thermodynamically stable phases which formed when alkali(sodium and potassium) vapors reacted with alumina-chromia refractories under coal gasifying atmosphere were confirmed experimentally using a laboratory-scale coal gasifying reaction system and a commercial alumina-chromia refractory using SEM, XRD, and EDAX. Alkali concentration profiles in the refractory as a function of time were also determined. The results showed that the compounds that formed were $X_2O{\cdot}Al_2O_3, X_2O{\cdot}Cr_2O_3, X_2O{\cdot}5Al_2O_3, X_2O{\cdot}7Al_2O_3, X_2O{\cdot}11Al_2O_3(X=Na^+ \;or\; K^+)$, depending upon the alkali concentration and time of exposure at high temperatures. The presence of sulfur in gasifying atmospheres did not appear to affect the alkali reaction produces. Alkali pentration into the alumina-chromia refractory was deep and the formation of the $Na_2O{\cdot}Al_2O_3/K_2O{\cdot}Al_2O_3$ compunds resulted in the serious deformation of the refractory due to the large volume expansion at the reaction surface. The hot face of the alumina-chromia refractory in service under an alkali environment is prone to failure by alkali attack.

플라이 애쉬와 고로슬래그는 알칼리 활성화시 점착성의 시멘트성 물질로 전환될 수 있는 산업부산물로서, 이 같은 시멘트성 물질의 생산은 포틀랜드 시멘트 제조시보다 에너지 소비가 적고 이산화탄소 방출도 적다. 플라이 애쉬/슬래그 시멘트의 압축강도에 대한 알칼리 활성화 조건의 영향과 이 시멘트의 산 저항 특성을 평가하기 위해 실험을 수행하였다. 두 개의 알칼리 활성화 용액, 즉 수산화나트륨과 수산화나트륨 + 물유리가 사용되었다. 물유리 농도는 모든 실험에서 압축강도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로 나타났다. 그 다음으로 중요한 인자는 수산화나트륨 농도와 양생 온도 순이었다. 황산과 염산에 대한 FC(플라이 애쉬 시멘트)와 FSC(플라이 애쉬/슬래그 시멘트)의 산 저항성은 포틀랜드 시멘트(PC)보다 월등히 좋았다.

Biomass-fired power plants produce electricity and heat by burning biomass in a boiler. However, one of the most serious problems faced by these plants is severe corrosion. In biomass boilers, corrosion comes from burnt fuels containing alkali, chlorine, and other corrosive substances, causing boiler tube failures, leakages, and shorter lifetimes. To mitigate the problem, various approaches implying the use of additives have been proposed; for example, ammonium sulfate is added to convert the alkali chlorides (mainly KCl) into the less corrosive alkali sulfates. Among these approaches, the high temperature corrosion prevention technology based on ammonium sulfate has few power plants being applied to domestic power plants. This study presents the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chips and waste in a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The aim was to investigate the characteristics of pollution load in domestic biomass power plants with ammonium sulfate injection. By injecting the ammonium sulfate, the KCl content decreased from 68.9 to 5 ppm and the NOx were reduced by 18.5 ppm, but $SO_2$ and HCl were increased by 93.3 and 68 ppm, respectively.

For self-developed alkali-alkaline earth-silicate and commercial glass melts for plasma display panel substrate, the corrosion behavior of fused casting refractory consisting of $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2-SiO_2$ was examined at the temperature corresponding to $10^2\;dPa{\cdot}s$ of melt viscosity by static finger methode. The corroded refractory specimens showed a typical concave shape due to interfacial convection of melts at their flux line. However, the corrosion thickness by commercial glass melts was $6\sim10$ times comparing to that by the self?developed melts. From the view point of the glass composition and the role of alkaline earth in glass network, it was discussed the effect of alkali/alkaline earth diffusion and temperature on the refractory corrosion.

화석연료로 인한 환경문제 및 기후변화 대응을 위해 신재생에너지 공급비중은 매년 증가하고 있으며 현재 폐기물 에너지는 신재생에너지 생산량의 60% 가량을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 폐기물은 화석연료에 비해 낮은 발열량을 가지고 여러 유해물질이 포함되어 있어 발전용 보일러에 적용 시 다양한 문제를 발생시킨다. 특히 연료 내 염소성분은 보일러 열교환부에 슬래깅 및 파울링을 증가시켜 열효율 감소와 고온부식의 주요 원인이 되며 설비 가동률을 낮추고 운전비용을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 염화알칼리에 의한 과열기 소재의 부식특성 분석을 위해 과열기용 주요 금속소재(ASME SA213/ASTM A213 T2, T12 and T22 합금)를 대상으로 고온부식 실험을 수행하고 무게 감량법과 주사전자현미경 에너지분산분광기(SEM-EDS)를 활용해 다양한 조건에 따른 부식특성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과 온도 및 염화물 함량이 높을수록 부식이 증가하였으며 NaCl보다 KCl의 부식성이 더 높음을 확인하였다. 또한 소재의 크롬함량이 높을수록 염화알카리에 대한 내부식 특성이 우수하게 나타났다.
