Abstract
Driven by the concerns around corrosion failures and their associated environmental risks in acetic acid recovery distillation columns, the corrosion performances of 316 L, 2205, and AL-6XN stainless steels in 60 wt% hot acetic acid solution containing different impurities in varying concentrations (1 −10 ppm Cl−, 1 −100 ppm PO43−, 1 −100 ppm SO42−, and 100 −1000 ppm HCOOH) were evaluated by cyclic potentiodynamic polarization tests, galvanic corrosion measurements, long-term immersion tests and surface analysis. The results show that the critical Cl− concentrations for the pitting corrosion of 316 L, 2205, and AL-6XN in hot acetic acid were 3, 5, and 9 ppm, respectively. In contrast, all three stainless steels demonstrated commendable in the presence of PO43−, SO42−, or HCOOH. The tendency for galvanic corrosion was observed in the order of 316 L > AL-6XN > 2205. Long-term immersion tests corroborated this corrosion trend, with 2205 showing the lowest overall corrosion rate (0.0013 mm/a), followed by AL-6XN (0.0099 mm/a) and 316 L (0.1541 mm/a). Furthermore, the high resistance of AL-6XN to Cl−-induced pitting corrosion, along with the superior overall corrosion resistance of 2205 in 60 wt% hot acetic acid, was discussed in detail.
