Abstract

Interior scales on PVC, lined ductile iron (LDI), unlined cast iron (UCI) and galvanized steel (G) were analyzed by XRD, RMS, and XPS after contact with varying water quality for 1 year. FeCO₃, α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH, γ-Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄ were identified as primary UCI corrosion products. No FeCO₃ was found on G. The order of Fe release was UCI > G ≥ LDI > PVC. For UCI, Fe release decreased as % Fe₃O₄ increased and as % Fe ₂O₃ decreased in scale. Soluble Fe and FeCO₃ transformation indicated FeCO₃ solid was controlling Fe release. FeCO₃ model and pilot data showed Fe increased as alkalinity and pH decreased.
