A new stability index [an improved stability index (SI')] has been proposed that introduces corrosion inhibiting ability of silica in a broad range of temperature and pH into the conventional index of the corrosive action and scale formation of water, and new empirical equations [Eqs. 1-3] that characterize water were derived using the new index. The derived SI' was effective in the range of SI>6. The SI' was balanced at 0, and then SI'=0 differed from SI=6. In addition, a possibility was found for prediction and inhibition of corrosion of ferrous metals based on the equations by controlling the concentration of silica ([SiO2]).

1. Introduction
Corrosion and scaling of ferrous plant materials caused
by water have been problems in water conduction plants
and water treatment systems including cooling water,
waste water treatment, industrial water treatment, and water demineralizing systems. For instance, we encounter
various problems including (1) corrosion of pipes due to
corrosive factors such as dissolved oxygen and chloride
ions caused by city or industrial water as circulating water
and (2) scaling problems such as blocking of pipes and reduction in the thermal conduction of heat exchangers
produced by concentration of dissolved substances and for-mation of insoluble salts due to evaporation of part of circu-
lating water1)-7) in the most frequently used open cooling
water systems ranging from those for small scale air-condi-
tioning in buildings to those for large scale cooling in com-
plexes. In order to overcome these problems, various anti-corrosion agents have so far been used in open cooling
water systems. These agents include (1) chromate and
phosphate salts against corrosion and (2) polyphosphate and phosphonate salts against scaling. In addition, they
are used widely with a small amount of other agents in
water conduction plants and water treatment systems so
that the combined agents give additive and synergetic
effects1)-9). Nevertheless, the demand for environmental
protection in recent years has made the use of these agents unfavorable due to the toxicity of chromate salts and the eutrophication of water by phosphate salts, and
hence the development of environment-friendly and less toxic anticorrosive agents and the reduction of added anti-
corrosive agent concentration are being required1)-7).
Many non-environment-pollutive oligomers and polymers with carboxylic acid groups are examined from these
points of view1)-7),10)-28). Moreover, the reduction of added anticorrosive agent concentration is one of the important
subjects to be examined and the elucidation of the relation
between water quality and metal corrosion in conformity with the present situation is necessary.
Calcium and silica have been known as possible anticor-
rosive components of water in water conduction plant and
water treatment systems including cooling water systems. These components have both advantages as corrosion
inhibitor and disadvantages as scale former, and calcium
carbonate has among others been regarded as the primary
component that causes scale problems, in addition to its anticorrosive action. Then, Langelier index (denoted
hereafter as saturation index)*1, Ryznar index [denoted
hereafter as stability index (SI)]*1, corrected Ryznar
index, and Larson index have been examined as an index
of the corrosiveness or scale formability of water1),4),29)-38
Silica has long been used in one-through cooling water sys-
tems because it is scarcely toxic and anticorrosive. Then, combined uses of silica with other agents are expected to
exhibit a high corrosion inhibiting action at lower concen-trations. Control of silica concentration in water is neces-
sary, however, because it deposits as scales. Moreover,

neither of the above-mentioned saturation index and stabil-
ity index (SI) takes into consideration the effect of silica.
It is then doubtful if these indexes can cope with the pre-
sent diversified water conditions.
We have investigated from the view point described
above the effects of water quality factors such as concen-
trations of silica, [SiO2] and chloride ion, [Cl-] on the sta-
bility index (SI), an index for the corrosiveness or scale
forming action of water, and the corrosion rate of mild
steel to gain the fundamental knowledge necessary to
construct a highly anticorrosive system with use of a
reduced concentration of anticorrosive agent39),40). We
proposed a new stability index [an improved stability index
(SI')] that combines the corrosion inhibiting action of sili-
ca in a broad range of temperature and pH of water with SI
and derived new empirical formulas (1)-(3) containing
the new index for the properties of water. We also made a
proposal for the way of inhibiting corrosion of ferrous met-
als in water conduction plants and water treatment systems
by controlling the concentration of silica added ([SiO2])
with the equations.

2. Experimental
2.1 Materials
Table 1 lists the water qualities of the samples used.
Test solutions were prepared changing the concentrations
of SiO2 and Cl- according to the previous reports33),41)
using a water sample at a given stability index11),33)
obtained from its pH, calcium hardness (Ca2+), and M-
alkalinity*2. Aqueous H2SO4, CaSO4, NaHCO3, and NaCl
solutions were used to adjust the above parameters.
The steel test samples used were of SS 400 steel pre-
treated as previously reported42) [C 0.04mass%, Si extreme-
ly low percentage point, Mn 0.30mass%, P 0.02mass%, S
0.017mass%, Fe remaining percentage point, Japan Test
Panel Ind., 20•~80•~2mm, polished with emery paper
(#400)].
2.2 Corrosion weight loss test
The steel test samples were ultrasonically washed in ace-
tone and dried and their pre-weights were measured. The
samples were then immersed in a test solution (1dm3) for
7 days at different temperatures and atmospheric pressure
under stirring. After being withdrawn from the test solu-
tion, the samples were post-treated according to the previ-
ous report43) and their post-weights were measured.
Corrosion rate was calculated using the following equation:
V=w/(A•~t) (8)
where V is corrosion rate (mdd=mg/dm2/day), w is
weight loss (mg), A is surface area (dm2), and t is time of
test (day).
2.3 Numerical analysis
The relation among corrosion rate (V=y), SiO2 concen-
tration ([SiO2]), Cl- concentration ([Cl-]), and T was
numerically analyzed with a personal computer and its
effect was examined on the stability index (SI=x) and the
corrosion rate (V=y) in equations (1)-(3) when the water
quality factors, [SiO2] and [Cl-] are available.
3. Results and Discussion
3.1 Corrosion weight loss test
3.1.1 Scale forming water quality
Corrosion weight loss test was performed at T=25 and
40•Ž using the (CaCO3) scale forming water quality given
in Table 1. The results obtained at 25•Ž are shown in Fig.
1, in which the relationships are given between water quali-
ty factors, [SiO2] and [Cl-] and the corrosion rate of mild
steel, V [SI-water quality factors ([SiO2] and [Cl-])-corro-
siveness relationships]. The corrosion rate V decreased
with increasing [SiO2] but [Cl-] caused no change in the
rate at SI=4.4 as shown in Fig. 1-a. This can be under-
stood in terms of the [SiO2]-V relationship and the [Cl-]-
V relationship. Similar results were obtained at the other
SIs. This means that the corrosion rate depends more on
[SiO2] than [Cl-] in the experimental conditions used in
this work. The relationship [SiO2]-[Cl-]-V was not affect-
ed by changes in SI as seen from the SI-V relationship
(Fig. 2). This indicates that SiO2 and Cl- have no direct
effect on SI. Fig. 3 shows the results obtained at 40•Ž,
*1 saturation index and stability index are the indexes for calcium carbon-
ate (CaCO3) if it deposits as scales or dissolves and given by the follow-ing equations:
(saturation index)=pH-pHs (4)(stability index)=2pHs-pH (5)
pHs=(9.3+A+B)-(C+D) (6)where pH is measured pH value of solution and pHs is the pH value at which the solution is saturated with CaCO3, that is, the critical pH value at which scales begin to deposit, and is calculated using Eq. 6. A, B, C, and D are respectively the total solid matter coefficient, temperature coefficient, calcium hardness coefficient, and M-alkalinity coefficient (A
and D are obtained from the existing saturation index nomograms). Water quality is judged using the calculated saturation index and stabili-ty index as follows1),4),29)-38(stability index)<6[(saturation index)>0] (scaling tendency)(stability index)=6[(saturation index)=0] (7)(stability index)>6[(saturation index)<0] (corroding tendency)
*2 M-alkalinity is expressed as the mg/dm3 equivalent of acid needed to
neutralize the pH of sample to pH 4.8 or mg/dm3 of CaCO3 correspond-ing to the acid. M-alkalinity gives the total amount of alkaline sub-stances including hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates (2/3 amount), and silicates. Note here that M-alkalinity was altered to the acid con-sumption (pH 4.8) in 1989 JIS amendments41).

which indicate that the relationship [SiO2]-[Cl-]-V (three-
dimensional curved surface) shifts upward in the z-axis
direction. Thus, an increase in T caused an increase in V.
The other results were similar to those obtained at 25•Ž.
The above findings demonstrate that SiO2 affects V while
Cl- shows no effect on V at scale forming water quality.
In other words, only SiO2 affects V and the anticorrosive
action of SiO2 alone works in the experimental conditions.
The fact that V is unaffected by SI but depends on [SiO2]
(and T) would be due to missing the effect of anticorrosive
SiO2 on SI (due also to the previous disregard of SiO2
because of sufficient corrosion inhibition by CaCO3 scaling
alone in the experimental conditions where CaCO3 scales

are formed). A detailed investigation of the effect of SiO2
revealed that an increase in [SiO2] causes a decrease in V
at any SI in the experimental conditions (for example, Fig.
2) and SiO2 scale coats make up the corrosion that CaCO3
scale coats fail to prevent. That is, SiO2 contributes com-
plementarily and synergistically to corrosion inhibition.
3.1.2 Corrosive water quality
Corrosion weight loss tests were carried out at the cor-
rosive water quality given in Table 1 at 25, 40, and 55•Ž.
Fig. 4 shows the results obtained at T=55•Ž that yielded
the largest changes in the relations between the water
quality factors, [SiO2] and [Cl-], and the corrosion rate of
mild steel, V(=y), in test solutions at different SIs [the
relationship SI-water quality factors ([SiO2] and [Cl-])-
corrosiveness]. V increased with increasing [SiO2] but not
with [Cl-] at SI=7.8 as shown in Fig. 4-a. This is under-
standable in terms of the [SiO2]-V relationship and the
[Cl-]-V relationship. Similar results were obtained at the
other SIs. Thus, the corrosion rate depends more on
[SiO2] than [Cl-] in the experimental conditions used in
this work. As SI decreased, the curved surface for the rela-
tionship [SiO2]-[Cl-]-V shited downward. This confirms
that the corrosiveness decreases with decreasing SI in test
solutions with added SiO2 and Cl-. This is comprehensi-
ble in terms of the SI-V relationship at each T (Fig . 5).
When T increased from 25 to 55•Ž, the relationship [SiO2]-
[Cl-]-V (three-dimensional curved surface) shifted
upward. The other tendencies were similar at all tempera-
tures.
3.2 Numerical analysis
Numerical analysis was conducted for the results to
examine the above-mentioned relationship SI-water quali-
ty factors ([SiO2] and [Cl-])-corrosiveness (no numerical
analysis was performed for the results obtained at the scale
forming water quality because only [SiO2] (and T) affected
V remarkably and no change in the SI-V relationship was
observed in the experimental conditions used in this
work).
3.2.1 Basic concepts
(1) Phenomena accompanying saturation
Conversion of the relationship [SiO2]-[Cl-]-V (Fig. 4)
to the SI-V relationship (Fig. 5) at each SI yields an
increasing trend of V with SI and its eventual stationary
state (or saturation state). This is a phenomenon accom-
panying saturation in mathematical terms. Fig. 6-a is a
conceptual diagram of the phenomenon accompanying sat-
uration. If y (V) on the ordinate is ƒ¿ against x (SI) on the
abscissa and converges onto ƒÀ, then
dy/dx=-ƒ¿(y-ƒÀ) (9).
The general solution for the above equation is
y=C1exp(-ƒ¿x)+ƒÀ (C1: integration constant) (10).
Since x is positive and larger than 6 in the experimental
conditions used in this work as mentioned above, Eq. 10
can be transformed into the following equation by chang-
ing the combination of constants and expressing x explicit-
ly:
y=K0[1-K1exp{-K2(x-K3)}] (11),
where K0-K3 are respectively constants affecting the satu-
ration value of y, characterizing y at x=K3 (equilibrium
state of x), giving the rate of change of y against x, and
denoting the effect of SiO2 on x.
(2) Upwardly and downwardly changing phenomena
Upwardly and downwardly changing phenomena shown
in Fig. 6-b can be expressed by Eq. 12 if n on the ordinate
is ƒÁ against m on the abscissa:
dn/dm=-ƒÁn (12)
The general solution of the equation is given by
n=C2exp(-ƒÁm) (C2: integration constant) (13).
The analysis was made using the above conceptions.
3.2.2 Effect of [Cl-] at corrosive water quality
Numerical analysis was performed using Eq. 11 at a fixed
[SiO2] to examine the effect of [Cl-] on the SI-V relation-
ship. Here, no analysis was made on the case without

added SiO2 because this case can be handled by the con-
ventional methods1),5),31),33),36),38). Fig. 7 shows the results
of analysis at 55•Ž as an example [the results of curve fit-
ting for the experimantal data on the SI-V relationship
using Eq. 11 (solid line)]. The SI-V relationship was the
same and represented by one curve at any [Cl-]. A simi-
lar tendency was obtained at the other temperatures (25
and 40•Ž). Thus, [Cl-] had a tendency not to affect the SI-
V relationship shown in Eq. 7 in the systems with added
SiO2.
3.2.3 Effect of [SiO2] at corrosive water quality
In order to examine the effect of [SiO2] on the SI-V rela-
tionship, numerical analysis was conducted at a fixed
[Cl-]. The analysis was carried out using the average
value of [Cl-] at respective [SiO2] since [Cl-] was found to
have no effect on V in the previous section. Fig. 8 shows
the results of analysis at each T [the results of curve fitting
using Eq. 11 for the experimental data on the SI-V relation-
ship (solid line)]. Fig. 9 shows the relationships between
the values of each K obtained from the curve fitting and
[SiO2]. K0 and K3 changed with increasing [SiO2] at any T
while K1 and K2 remained unchanged independently of
[SiO2].

mined by analyses of numerical values in test solution at
25 (I), 40 (II) and 55 (III) •Ž using the corrosive water
quality.
Discussion was made first on K1 and K2, both of which
are constant. K1 is unity because it is a constant character-
izing V(=y) at SI(=x)=K3, a value at the equilibrium state
of SI(=x), and represents conceptually a state where no
corrosion proceeds (V=0) and no CaCO3 scale is formed.
Here, K1=1 in Fig. 9, satisfying the present conditions and
showing the plausibility of Eq. 11 used in the numerical
analysis. K2 is a constant that represents the rate of
change of V(=y) against SI(=x). In other words, it is the
easiness with which V increases against SI. It has a value
of 3.06•~10-1 and remains constant while [SiO2] and T
change. This suggests that K2 relates to the SI-V relation-
ship in a similar manner in any test condition and hence
changes in [SiO2] and T would cause no change in the cor-
rosion inhibiting mechanism. These considerations lead to
a modification of Eq. 11 to
y=K0[1-exp{-3.06•~10-1(x-K3)}] (14).
Next, discussion was made about K0 and K3. Since K0
decreased with increasing [SiO2], the oxide has an anticor-
rosive effect. In particular, it shows a downwardingly
changing tendency (Fig. 9) as seen in Fig. 6-b and hence
it can be analyzed using Eq. 15 obtained by transformation
of Eq. 13:
K0=L0exp{-L1[SiO2]}(L0, L1: coefficients) (15).
Comparison of values of K0 at different temperatures indi-
cates that T has an effect to increase the saturation value of
corrosion, that is, a corrosion enhancing effect since an
increase in T causes an increase in K0. Then, the effect of
T on K0 must be taken into consideration. Numerical
analysis of K0 at each T yields the following equations:
K0=2.420•~102exp{-5.11•~10-3[SiO2]} (25•Ž) (16)
K0=2.657•~102exp{-2.96•~10-3[SiO2]} (40•Ž) (17)
K0=3.047•~102exp{-1.88•~10-3[SiO2]} (55•Ž) (18).
These results indicate that T affects both L0 and L1 and the
equations for L0-T and L1-T are
L0=2.09T+1.872•~102 (19)
L1=-1.08•~10-4T+7.62•~10-3 (20).
Substitution of these equations into Eq. 15 yields:
K0=(2.09T+1.872•~102)
•~ exp{-(-1.08•~10-4T+7.62•~10-3)[SiO2]} (21).
K3 is the value of SI when V is 0 and it increases from 6
(equilibrium state) to about 7 with increace in [SiO2] as
shown in Fig. 9. This suggests that addition of SiO2 causes
changes in the value of SI at V=0, namely, the equilibrium
value of corrosion. Since K3 remains unchanged while T
changes, it depends merely on [SiO2]. Since K3 converges
without being affected by T as seen in Fig. 9, it can be con-
414 Zairyo-to-Kankyo
sidered to behave as the situation in Fig. 6-a. Then, refer-
ring to Eq. 11
K3=M0[1-M1exp{-M2([SiO2]-M3)}] (22).
[M0, M1, M2, M3: constants]
Analyzing Eq. 22 in a way similar to that used for Eq. 11
gives
K3=7.21{1-1.71•~10-1exp(-8.59•~10-3[SiO2])}
(23).
Referring to the conditions of Eqs. 21 and 23, Eq. 14
becomes
y=K0[1-exp{-3.06•~10-1(x-K3)}] (14),
where
K0=(2.09T+1.872•~102)
•~ exp{-(-1.08•~10-4T+7.62•~10-3)[SiO2])}
(21)
K3=7.21{1-1.71•~10-1exp(-8.59•~10-3[SiO2])}
(23).
3.2.4 Correction of stability index: improved stabili-
ty index (SI')
The results obtained in the previous section suggest the
necessity of corrections for the existing index of corrosive-
ness, SI, in SiO2-containing water systems since [SiO2]
affects both V(=y) and SI(=x). Taking account of the
finding that SI increases from 6 to about 7 with increase in
[SiO2] and of the relation of Eq. 11, a new stability index
(improved stability index), SI', is expressed as
SI'=SI-K3=x-K3 (24).
Using Eq. 24, Eqs. 14, 21, and 23 eventually become respec-
tively
y=K0{1-exp(-3.06•~10-1SI')} (1)
where
K0=(2.09T+1.872•~102)
•~ exp{-(-1.08•~10-4T+7.62•~10-3)[SiO2]}
(2)
SI'=x-7.21{1-1.71•~10-1exp(-8.59•~10-3[SiO2])} (3).
[y: corrosion rate (V) (mdd), K0: constant affecting satu-
ration value of corrosion rate (y) (mdd), T: temperature
(•Ž), [SiO2]: silica concentration (mg SiO2/dm3), x: stabili-
ty index (SI) (-)].
The derived SI' was effective in the range of SI>6. The SI'
was balanced at 0, and then SI'=0 differed from SI=6.
Using Eqs. 1-3 makes it possibe (1) to predict the value of
V and hence the corrosiveness for water at a given temper-
ature and corrosion indexes including SI and (2) to control
the value of V through regulation of [SiO2] and inhibit cor-
rosion. Thus, an improved stability index (SI') was pro-
posed as a new index for the corrosiveness of water to pre-
dict and control of ferrous metal corrosion in water con-
duction plants and water treatment systems including cool-
ing water, waste water treatment, industrial water treat-
ment, and pure water treatment systems and reasonable
empirical equations [Eqs. 1-3] for the SI'-V relationship
were derived taking account of the effect of [SiO2].
4. Conclusions
In order to gain fundamental knowledge necessary to
construct a more effective anticorrosive system than
before through lowering the concentration of added corro-
sion inhibitor for ferrous metals in water conduction plants
and water treatment systems, the effects of [SiO2] and
[Cl-], water quality factors, were examined on the stability
index SI, an index for the corrosiveness or scale forming
action of water, and the corrosion rate of mild steel. A new
stability index [an improved stability index (SI')] has been
proposed that introduces anticorrosive action of SiO2 in a
wide range of temperature and pH into the existing index
for the corrosiveness or scale forming action of water, and
new empirical equations [Eqs. 1-3] that characterize water
were derived using the new index. The derived SI' was
effective in the range of SI>6. The SI' was balanced at 0,
and then SI'=0 differed from SI=6. In addition, a possibil-
ity was found for the prediction and inhibition of corrosion
of ferrous metal by controlling the concentration of added
SiO2 as corrosion inhibitor based on the equations derived.
