The Effects of Physiochemical Parameters and Microbial Counts on Metal Coupons Corrosions in Freshwater Environment at Different Water Depths
Abstract: The effect of water quality on metal coupon corrosion was investigated at the New Calabar River in Choba. The study examined metal corrosion rates at five different depths: 30 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm, 120 cm, and 150 cm in a freshwater environment. Water samples were collected at each depth and analyzed for physicochemical and microbial parameters to understand their impact on metal degradation. Key parameters measured included pH, Electrical …

Tackling Water Hardness: Understanding the Issue for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Hard water poses a serious threat to human health and industrial operations. The pervasiveness of water hardness, characterized by elevated concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions, originates from seepage and runoff from soils, as well as polyvalent metallic ions from sedimentary rocks. These minerals, while essential in moderate amounts, can become problematic when consumed in excess. Epidemiological studies have established correlations between excessive consumption of calcium and magnesium and increased …
