When water sources are switched or new treatment processes are introduced, it is necessary to evaluate the corrosivity of the new water for the existing distribution system. BACKGROUND: In 2003, residents of the District of Columbia (DC) experienced an abrupt rise in lead levels in drinking water, which followed a change in water-disinfection treatment in 2001 and which was attributed to consequent changes in water chemistry and corrosivity. Considering the fact that change of chemicals affects the corrosivity of the bleach media, we investigated the corrosivity of peracid solutions and the corrosion performance of various steels in them. |
