Hydrogen Generation During the Corrosion of Carbon Steel in Oxalic Acid

摘要

This document summarizes a literature review that was performed to gain a more complete understanding of the hydrogen evolution reaction that occurs during the corrosion of carbon steel in oxalic acid. The theory of carbon steel corrosion in oxalic acid was presented as well as the supporting experimental work that was performed. Finally the application of the theory and test results to chemical cleaning at SRS are discussed.
