  2. Hydrochloric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid

    Hydrochloric acid, also known as muriatic acid or spirits of salt, is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl). It is a colorless solution with a distinctive pungent smell. It is classified as a strong acid. It is a component of the gastric acid in the digestive systems of most animal species, including humans.

  3. List of additives used for fracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_additives_used_for...

    In the United Kingdom, the environmental regulator permits only chemical additives which are classed as non hazardous to groundwater for fracturing fluids. [3] [4] [5] Operators are required to disclose the content of hydraulic fracturing fluids to the relevant environment agency [6] while the composition must be disclosed if the regulator demands it. [7]

  4. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Consider the first triangular diagram below, which shows all possible mixtures of methane, oxygen and nitrogen. Air is a mixture of about 21 volume percent oxygen, and 79 volume percent inerts (nitrogen). Any mixture of methane and air will therefore lie on the straight line between pure methane and pure air – this is shown as the blue air-line.

  5. Bottled gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottled_gas

    sulfur trioxide in the form of fuming sulfuric acid; nitrogen dioxide in the form of red-fuming nitric acid; hydrogen chloride in the form of muriatic acid. Note: these four are most often found in containers other than metal bottles, and at low pressure, e.g. 3 to 7 standard atmospheres (300 to 710 kPa). acetylene

  6. Corrosion inhibitors for the petroleum industry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitors_for...

    They are highly effective in preventing salt water and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion. Acrylic polymers: These polymers are used as corrosion inhibitors in the industry due to their good compatibility with oil and drilling fluids. They are effective against corrosion caused by the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in drilling fluids.

  7. Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)

    A mixture of organic acids (resin acids, predominantly abietic acid, with pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, neoabietic acid, dihydroabietic acid, and dehydroabietic acid), rosin is a glassy solid, virtually nonreactive and noncorrosive at normal temperature, but liquid, ionic and mildly reactive to metal oxides at molten state. Rosin tends to ...

  8. Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_desulfurization

    These gases are highly corrosive to any downstream equipment such as fans, ducts, and stacks. Two methods that may minimize corrosion are: (1) reheating the gases to above their dew point, or (2) using materials of construction and designs that allow equipment to withstand the corrosive conditions. Both alternatives are expensive.

  9. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    The first and faster [citation needed] process is the removal of hydrogen and oxygen as units of water by the concentrated sulfuric acid. This occurs because hydration of concentrated sulfuric acid is strongly thermodynamically favorable, with a standard enthalpy of reaction ( ΔH ) of −880 k J / mol .
