Master's thesis of Chemical Engineering

The specific research objectives of this study are: 1. The development of a high throughput method for evaluation of alloys (5xxx Al as model materials in this work) subject to pitting; 2. Understanding the roles of variation in functional groups' in determining the inhibition efficiency; 3. Elucidating the inhibition mechanisms; and 4. Unveiling the role of intermetallic present in Al matrix and their contribution to the inhibition mechanism, particularly the long-term durability of the inhibitor systems.

The study "Studies on film forming corrosion inhibitors on aluminium alloy, AA2024-T3" presents key aspects of the film forming behaviour of the selected inhibitors and the test methods used to evaluate the inhibitor induced films in a chloride solution. This study also aims to provide significant insights to the film tenacity, the influence of the molecular structure as well as the film stability in the absence of inhibitors to provide a deeper understanding of the film forming and film breakdown mechanisms.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the technological feasibility of biological filtration process for Mn control in Lorne WTP. This thesis consists of eight chapters. Project background and research objectives are described in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 presents an extensive literature review covering the nature of manganese, manganese analytical methods, manganese control methods, the nature of MOB and biological control of Mn in drinking water treatment. The materials and methods used throughout the experimental investigation for this study are described in Chapter 3.
