THE INHIBITIVE ACTION OF MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE ON HOT ASH CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL IN A KEROSENE FIRED FURNACE

The inhibitive effect of magnesium oxide on the hot ash corrosion of steel structures of power generation station was studied using a kerosene fired furnace. Three alloys were selected including [SA 178A, 209 T1, 213 T11], prepared as rectangular pieces from water wall tubes and superheater tubes o...

description The inhibitive effect of magnesium oxide on the hot ash corrosion of steel structures of power generation station was studied using a kerosene fired furnace. Three alloys were selected including [SA 178A, 209 T1, 213 T11], prepared as rectangular pieces from water wall tubes and superheater tubes of a local power station. The heating chamber of the furnace had shelves on which specimens are placed. Mg(OH)2 was mixed with synthetic slag (67%wt  V2O5 and 33% wt Na2SO4) at molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, respectively and applied on the surface of the cleaned specimens. The tests were carried out at fixed (4 h) and various time intervals (2-10 h) to study the normal oxidation at various temperatures (550-950˚C). The rate of oxidation is accelerated in the presence of vanadic slag and resulted in increased corrosion rate with increasing temperature (550-950 oC ). X-ray diffraction indicated the formation of NaV3O8, Na2O.V2O4.5V2O5, Na4V2O7, VOSO4, Na2SO4 and  iron oxide  (Fe2O3) . The weight loss of the three alloys specimens indicated a Clear reduction in the degree of corrosion with increasing Mg(OH)2 content. The scale changed  into a powder form which can be easily removed from the surface of the specimens. The best results were obtained with the mole ratio 3:1, which gave inhibition efficiency of 85% at 550°C. The inhibition efficiency increases with temperature decrease. With the introduction of Mg(OH)2 with the ash magnesium vanadate Mg3V2O8 was a major constituent together with some MgO.
