Book ·
OSTI ID:6266745
Information was presented in textbook fashion concerning the occurrence of deposits, the effect of impurities in fuels (especially alkalies, sulfur and vanadium) and the mechanisms responsible for metal corrosion in boilers. Minerals in coal were classified into the shale group, clay group, sulfur group, carbonate group, and associated minerals (quartz, feldspar, garnet, hornblende, gypsum, apatite, zircon, epidote, biotite, augite, prochlorite, diaspore, lepidocrocite, magnetite, kyanite, staurolite, topaz, tourmaline, hematite, penninite). Both pyrosulfates and alkali iron trisulfates were specifically linked to corrosion deposits. Numerous tables, graphs, and chemical equations are included in the text of this detailed presentation of state of the art knowledge concerning external corrosion and deposits.
