Dispelling chemical industry myths
Author: Trevor A. KletzPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781560324386
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
With over fifty years of experience in the chemical industry, Trevor Kletz sheds light on statements of doubtful accuracy that are widely accepted among chemical engineers and professionals in the chemical industry. These so-called myths have led to accidents and wrong decisions. This book encourages a skeptical approach so that accidents can be avoided and our resources can be more effectively used. The myths address technology, management, and, new to this edition, toxicology and the environment. Included in each myth is a thorough description of why it is wrong. This important resource provides a gentle reminder that all received wisdom should be looked at critically from time to time. Everyone teaching, learning, and working in the oil, chemical, and other process industries will find the book stimulating and provocative - and relevant to their everyday work.
Corrosion Prevention and Protection
Author: Edward GhaliPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470024038
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Corrosion Prevention and Protection: Practical Solutions presents a functional approach to the various forms of corrosion, such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced damage, sulphide stress cracking, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue in various industrial environments. The book is split into two parts. The first, consisting of five chapters: Introduction and Principles (Fundamentals) of Corrosion Corrosion Testing, Detection, Monitoring and Failure Analysis Regulations, Specifications and Safety Materials: Metals, Alloys, Steels and Plastics Corrosion Economics and Corrosion Management The second part of the book consists of two chapters which present: a discussion of corrosion reactions, media, active and active-passive corrosion behaviour and the various forms of corrosion, a collection of case histories and practical solutions which span a wide range of industrial problems in a variety of frequently encountered environments, including statues & monuments, corrosion problems in metallurgical and mineral processing plants, boilers, heat exchangers and cooling towers, aluminum and copper alloys, galvanized steel structures as well as hydrogeological environmental corrosion This text is relevant to researchers and practitioners, engineers and chemists, working in corrosion in industry, government laboratories and academia. It is also suitable as a course text for engineering students as well as libraries related to chemical and chemical engineering institutes and research departments.
