This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of cuprosolvency, or copper in drinking water supplies. Presentation objectives include the following: study the spontaneous synthesis of pitting corrosion byproducts;
study the affect of aging on particles; and,
track morphology changes that affect mineral identification. Presentation conclusions indicate the following:
most minerals are amorphous (poorly crystalline) upon
formation, aging plays a critical role in particle
development;
water chemistry significantly affects copper synthesis,
high pH favors the formation of tenorite, while low pH
yields malachite and connellite; the role of chloride is unclear, however, high sulfate ratios
tend to expedite formation; and,
morphology changes occur due to the concentration of
chloride and sulfate present in a solution. Includes tables, figures.
