What are the Common Types of Corrosion in Catalysis?
Several types of corrosion can occur in catalytic systems:
1. Uniform Corrosion: This involves the even loss of material across the surface. 2. Galvanic Corrosion: Occurs when two different metals are in electrical contact in an electrolyte, causing the more anodic metal to corrode faster. 3. Pitting Corrosion: Localized corrosion that leads to the formation of small pits or holes. 4. Crevice Corrosion: Occurs in confined spaces where the solution becomes stagnant, leading to aggressive localized attack. 5. Erosion Corrosion: Accelerated by the relative movement between the corrosive fluid and the metal surface.
