Keiser, J R; Judkins, R R

Severe corrosion in the fractionation columns of four coal liquefaction pilot plants has been studied intensively. Amine hydrochlorides have been found to play a crucial role in the corrosion, and the specific amines have been identified. A corrosion mechanism has been proposed, materials with adequate corrosion resistance have been identified, and chloride removal methods based on the properties of amine hydrochlorides have been suggested.
