In drinking water distribution systems, materials that could be affected by corrosion–and consequently release increased amounts of contaminants such as lead –include metal pipe and fittings ...

For direct comparison of modeling and experiments, the Cu(110) surface was used in the model based on the strong (220) preferred orientation observed in the microstructures of the rolled copper foil.

Concrete is widely used for making sewage pipes due to its availability, affordability and structural strength, but it is highly susceptible to acid and microbial corrosion in sewers, requiring ...

Here, we describe a first test of optically detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (ODXAS) for monitoring electrochemical treatments on copper-based alloys, for example, heritage metals. Artificially ...

This mechanism agrees, in general terms, with those proposed in previous works to study the interaction between copper and the acetic and formic acids. atmospheric corrosion; copper; organic acids; ...

No time to waste? This super-speedy tutorial shows you how to solder a copper pipe in just 15 seconds. Quick, clear, and surprisingly satisfying. Abbott's 'death penalty' comment on jet ski crash ...

A day earlier, the US Environmental Protection Agency had announced that, after nine straight years of passing water-test results, it was lifting an emergency order that required the city to treat its ...
