Induced codeposition of Ni-W alloy coatings using glycerol as additive and their characterization
Abstract: As a promising coating material to replace hard chromium coating, the development of nickel–tungsten (Ni-W) alloy coatings of good corrosion protection is of great interest in surface coating technology. Further, the effect of plating variables, including additive on the composition of alloys of induced co-deposition is more vagarious than in other types of alloy deposition. In this regard, an alkaline citrate bath has been formulated for electrodeposition of Ni-W alloy …

A Customized Wireless Supervisory Infrastructure for Integration and Explicit Multiparametric MPC-Based Control of Laboratory Processes
Abstract: In this study, a custom, embedded wireless (Zigbee) supervisory infrastructure aimed at integration of laboratory processes is reported. A microcontroller based field control unit (FCU) implements closed loop control on experiments via ADAM 5000/485 data acquisition module. Data from the process (sensor/manipulation) are broadcasted from FCU using a wireless access point (WAP). A MATLAB graphic user interface (GUI) updates the data (obtained using a remote monitoring unit (RMU)) graphically. Multiparametric …

Electrolytic Deposition of Zn–Ni Alloy from Acidic Sulphate Bath and Their Characterization
Abstract: A bath containing ZnSO4.7H2O, NiSO4.7H2O, thiamine hydrochloride (THC) and citric acid (CA) has been proposed. Bright Zn–Ni alloy coatings were developed galvanostatically onto mild steel (MS) and their corrosion resistance and other physical properties were studied. THC was found to improve the brightness and homogeneity of the deposit. The dependency of bath composition, current density (c.d.), pH and temperature, agitation on wt.% Ni were tested. Deposition was carried out under …

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies of Adsorption of Pb (II) by Using Ferrous Sulphide as an Adsorbent
Abstract: Poisoning of lead is causing a serious threat to the environment. In the present study the adsorption behaviour of lead was studied in detail by ferrous sulphide in granular form. Ferrous sulphide has the magnetic properties and makes it a better candidate for lead removal. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out by varying different process parameters such as contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, and temperature. Lead adsorption by ferrous sulphide …

Investigation of High Corrosion Rate in Oil Production Carbon Steel Pipelines
Abstract: A comprehensive study to identify the causes and the types of internal corrosion of a 16 inch oily water production piping from production wells, which was found to be severely corroded (corrosion rate ≈5.5 mm/year) was considered. The study involves collecting and analyzing of different parameters like production data, flow velocity, CO2 partial pressure, water quantities and water species contents, gas species contents, scale chemical elements, etc. This study is …
