THERMEXPERT-generating web-based potential-pH diagrams THERMEXPERT or the internet-based, potential-pH diagram generator has been created as to provide a straightforward way of calculating potential-pH or Pourbaix diagrams on the internet. The web application gives the user the flexibility to choose the temperature and ionic activities (concentrations). This web-based application has its own thermodynamic data data base developed with an eye toward internal consistency. Such a data base relieves the user from having to develop such information. This tutorial has been developed to provide appropriate background for using THERMEXPERT for calculating potential-pH diagrams for systems encountered in practice. The user is not limited to the interaction of metals and inorganic ions. The thermodynamics of organic complexing agents interacting with the metal can also be examined. In this vein, please contact Argentum Solutions if a desired interacting species or metal is not present. It can be added to the thermodynamic data base.Reading this tutorial in its entirety is suggested for those who need additional background on the generation and use of potential-pH diagrams for corrosion prediction. For those who have sufficient background, reading the section entitled Using THERMEXPERT - a step-by-step procedure will provide the background needed for using this application successfully. Users are urged to read this section prior to generating potential-pH diagrams with THERMEXPERT. |
