Analysis of the Physicochemical Characteristics of Corrosion Scales in the Iron Pipes of a Typical Water Distribution System
Corrosion scales in iron pipes can reduce water quality in a water distribution system,and the extent of the impact is closely related to the physicochemical characteristics of the scales.We investigated the microstructure and used scanning electron microscope (SEM),energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX),X-ray diffraction (XRD) to analyze both the elemental and chemical compositions of the scales in the iron pipes that are widely used throughout China,s water distribution system.We have found that iron pipe scales exhibit similar internal hierarchical morphologies (surface layer,hard rind layer and kernel layer),primarily composed of a variety of iron oxidation products such as Fe304,a-FeOOH and 7-FeOOH.Based on our experimental results,we discuss the structural features and formation mechanism of the pipe scales,and provide measures that can prevent and control the release of iron and scale formation to improve the safety of water supplied by a water distribution system.
