“…The presence of sulfide, even in traces, is undesirable because the SRB can accelerate steel corrosion rate. However, depending on the sulfide product generated, it can decrease corrosion rates under specific conditions 3,5 . According to Steinrath Index, the soil received the classification "low aggressive" and the total index was "-3".…”

“…The steel structure is immersed in a molten zinc bath, that reacts with the steel producing a tightly bonded coating, isolating the metal surface from the environment and promoting cathodic protection 1,2 . In case of coating damage, zinc oxidation products, which are adherent and insoluble, are deposited on the surface, keeping it protected 3 . Galvanizing has been increasingly applied because of zinc protective characteristic that, associated to the steel mechanical strength, results in a versatile and economic product.…”

“…Usually, those structures are partially or completely buried and their corrosion resistance depends on the aggressiveness of soil. The resistance to corrosion processes of buried galvanized structures is related to chemical, physicochemical and microbiologic properties of the soil 3,4 . The evaluation of soil corrosiveness is important to analyze corrosion processes of underground structures and to define protective methods, such as cathodic protection or protective coatings.…”

Galvanized steel has been widely applied in different applications and the industry significantly increased its production in recent years. Some galvanized structures can be completely or partially buried, such as transmission tower footings. The corrosion of these metallic structures is related to the soil chemical and physicochemical properties, which define the aggressiveness of the environment. To assess the effect of the soil moisture on galvanized steel corrosion, a comparative study was carried out. Carbon steel coupons, with or without galvanization, were buried in clay soil collected from an industrial region in the northeast of Brazil. The chemical, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of the soil were determined. The thickness of the galvanized coating was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion tests were conducted in different soil moisture conditions using the following techniques: potentiodynamic polarization curves and gravimetric tests. The results showed the influence of soil moisture on corrosion rates. The electroplating decreased corrosion rates, especially when the coupons were exposed to low moisture soil.

“…Deicers additionally contribute to the corrosion of construction materials and vehicle parts such as tyres and brakes [25]. For instance, sulphates in the soil from deicers considerably increase concrete corrosion and therefore sulphate-free deicers should be applied near concrete structures [26].…”

Despite all efforts to mitigate global warming, its rate and magnitude are still rising where transportation is considered to be an important contributor. In the Arctic regions however, unstable weather conditions, strong seasonal variations, and long harsh winters result in additional challenges to transportation in different ways such as those related to environment, human health, safety, and economy. This study deals with challenges related to road transportation in the Arctic regions. With this aim in mind, firstly the effects of weather-related factors, including precipitation, temperature and wind on road transportation are presented. Then, to investigate challenges, a causal analysis utilizing the approach of fault tree analysis (FTA) is conducted in which the related impacts are classified into three categories: environment, health/safety and economy. Accordingly, the critical causes are discussed and mitigating measures are addressed. It is suggested that the holistic review presented in the paper will be useful in identifying the most sustainable ways to decrease negative effects from road transportation in the Arctic.

“…William and co-workers found that changes in the ionic strength of the solution may affect the iron corrosion and the dye removal rate by ZVI [30]. In the corrosion field, it is clear that both sulfate and chloride could increase the corrosion rate of steel or iron [31][32][33]. Furthermore, the temperature could accelerate all processes involved in corrosion: electrochemical, transport, chemical, etc.…”

In this study, the effect of the operating temperature on the removal of high p‐nitrophenol (PNP) concentrations by Fe/Cu/H2O systems has been investigated thoroughly. The results suggest that only a higher operating temperature (>40°C) could significantly improve the removal efficiency of high PNP concentrations (e.g. 10 000 mg/L) by Fe/Cu/H2O systems. Meanwhile, a lower PNP concentration (e.g. 500 mg/L) could be completely removed by Fe/Cu/H2O systems only at 40°C. Furthermore, the interaction between the operating temperature (10–85°C) and other key operating parameters including theoretical Cu mass loading (0–0.89 g Cu/g Fe), Fe/Cu dosage (5–35 g), stirring speed (0–400 rpm), electrolyte (0–50 mmol/L NaCl or Na2SO4), and initial pH (3.–12) was investigated, respectively. In particular, the elevating temperature could decrease theoretical Cu mass loading, Fe/Cu dosage, stirring speed and electrolyte, and abroad the range of initial pH, which could reduce the operating cost of Fe/Cu/H2O systems if the waste‐heating vapor could be used to elevate the operating temperature. According to the results of UV‐Vis spectra, for total organic carbon and chemical oxygen demand, it is clear that the elevating temperature could facilitate mineralization of PNP in an aqueous solution by Fe/Cu/H2O systems. As a result, the operating temperature was a main factor for the removal of pollutants by Fe/Cu/H2O systems.
