摘要
The current study analyzes the contribution of 10 water quality parameters(including pH,turbidity,conductivity,total dissolved solids(TDS),hardness,total organic carbon(TOC),alkalinity,calcium ions,chlorides and sulfates) to corrosion extent of stainless steel valves taken from different locations in a reverse osmosis system of a reclaimed water plant.The valves were in service for 5 years.Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses are conducted to quantify corrosion products on different valves under various water quality conditions.On that basis,bivariate and multivariate regression analyses between the 10 water quality parameters and the corrosion extent of valve specimens(represented by metal loss percentage(MLP) values) are carried out to check the contribution of those water quality parameters to MLP.The results indicate that the proportions of metal oxides as corrosion products vary according to the corrosion extent of the valves.Although no linear correlation is founds all 10 water quality parameters except for pH show a significant positive correlation with the MLP values of the valve specimens.Moreover,results of multivariate regression suggest that the variation of MLP can be explained by turbidity,TDS,TOC and sulfates.A positive contribution of turbidity,TDS and TOC to MLP is observed,whereas the contribution of sulfates is negative.The results from the current work help to identify the reasons for water quality-induced failure of stainless steel equipment in RO systems.
