An accurate thermodynamic database based on physically sound thermodynamic models can provide thermodynamic calculations of useful phase diagrams and comprehensive chemical reactions related to refractory corrosion in steelmaking processes. In this study,the FactS age thermodynamic database,one of the most comprehensive thermodynamic databases for oxide systems among other commercial software,is reviewed in particular for the steelmaking refractory research,and several applications to refractory corrosion are presented.展开更多

The adsorption of LA leaves extract was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and optical profilometry. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the extract but decreased with rise in temperature and with the increase in acid strength. Furthermore, the inhibition efficiency synergistically increased on the addition of halide ions. Polarisation studies revealed that the LA extract acts as mixed- type inhibitor. Physical adsorption mechanism is proposed from the trend in inhibition efficiency with the change in temperature and from thermodynamic parameters. The adsorption of LA on MS surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm and follows the kinetic thermodynamic model of ElAwady at all temperatures studied.展开更多
