Anoxic corrosion of steel and lead in Na-Cl±Mg dominated brines
This paper reports the results of a series of multiyear experiments investigating the anoxic corrosion of steel and Pb alloys in NaCl±Mg brines under WIPP-relevant conditions. The objectives of this work are to determine: (a) the extent to which steel and Pb consume CO2 via the formation of carbonates or other phases, potentially supporting MgO in CO 2 sequestration; and (b) corrosion rates that can then be used to calculate hydrogen gas generation rates for use in WIPP performance assessment calculations.
