High resolution X-ray powder diffraction measurements of the wet rust from the drinking water distribution system

摘要

The composition and the crystal structure of corrosion scales from steel pipes havebeen analysed. High concentrations of green-rust-type phases have been detected in samplesmounted on the axis of diffractometer as suspension in native water. This type of sampleloading combined with measurements at the high-resolution powder-diffraction beamline(ID31/ESRF) has proven useful in the phase determination of the studied corrosion products.
