Atmosphere, Industrial Waste Gases

By Gerhard Kreysa

The DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook provides a comprehensivecollection of knowledge which is unique both in scope as well ascontent. Corrosion data and the chemical resistance of alltechnically important metallic, non-metallic, inorganic and organicmaterials in contact with aggressive media are covered, constituting the prime information source worldwide for theselection of materials for equipment in which corrosive media arehandled or processed. Furthermore, methods of corrosion protectionand prevention are also described.

The influence of the atmosphere on some 1000 materials and theeffect of industrial waste gases on some 750 materials constitutethe contents of this sixth volume. Unrivaled in the research andevaluation of the international pertinent literature, more than1000 references to primary sources, 170 figures and 180 tablesarranged by agents/environment represent the most detailedcorrosion data available.

Faced with the task of optimizing a given environment-materialsystem, the user of this work will find answers to the followingquestions:

Is there information available on the behavior of the materialunder consideration in a particular medium?Which materials are out of question for the proposedpurpose?Which materials can be used without hesitation in the mediumconcerned?What are the conditions under which a less resistant, lesscostly material will give satisfactory service?Which material offers best performance for value under thegiven circumstances?What protective measures exist: inhibitors, coatings, cathodicprotection, etc.?
