Materials for Volcanic Environments - Where Will the Data Come From?

Abstract

The chemical composition of high temperature volcanic-magmaticenvironments dominatedby presence of corrosivegases SO, andHF. performancedata for such high mixed is not readily available. Energy developmentplans for the of theseenvironmentshave also not yet been and hence physical and chemical conditionsof exploitation cannot be fully Corrosion results are being obtained for volcanic environments at atmospheric pressures to develop models of corrosion processes and establish performance Industrialexperiencewith high environments, examplein high plant, containing one or two of these gases are available and this knowledge can assist materials in formulating models of corrosion. Similarly,experience and testing results in aggressive aqueous systems,such flue gas systems,containing dissolved or condensed of these gases, be used to definematerials suitable for handling and disposal of waste waters and low temperature
