23、ew recognized chemical substances that can be safely and effectively used as a corrosion inhibitor in potable water. Several forms of phosphate inhibitors are available, one of which is phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 , ortho-phosphoric acid, white phosphoric acid). Commercial- or technical-grade phosphor

24、ic acid is a manufactured product principally obtained by the addition of sulfuric acid to phosphate rock that is mostly mined in Florida, Tennessee, and the West in the United States. Food-grade phosphoric acid is generally produced by the electric-furnace method. The reaction: Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + 3H

The phosphoric acid concentration can either be diluted to 10 per - cent or less, or concentrated by evaporation to concentr

Currently, there are over 25 chemical manufacturers and suppliers of phosphoric acid that have certification under NSF /ANSI 60 Drinkin

Its action as a corrosion inhibitor is often the reaction with the metal on the surface forming a metal phosphate film deposit as follows: * American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, F

32、/L. That is the maximum concentration that is common, and the minimum effective dose can be as low as 0.15 mg/L P. It is often necessary to initiate a phosphate corrosion control dosage at relatively high concentrations (e.g., 2 to 3 mg/L as P) to form an initial passivation film in the first month

33、of application, then to decrease the feed in stages of about 25 percent of the maximum in sequential stages every two weeks to a maintenance dosage more in the order of 0.5 to 1 mg/L P. The maintenance dosage may need to be increased during warmer water tempera- tures of summer and decreased in the

34、cooler water temperatures of winter by as much as a 2:1 factor. The corrosion rate may be measured and the phosphate dosage increased or decreased by insertion and periodic testing of metal coupons and/or metal release. Lin- ear polarization probes are available for continuous real-time measurement

35、of corrosion rates. Adjusting inhibitor dosage rates is system specific as there is a wide variation between corrosion rate and metal release. I.B. History.

36、2016 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved.ix I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification pr

37、ogram for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State D

38、rinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states.* Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the heal

39、th effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including two standards developed under the direction of NSF: NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsH

40、ealth Effects. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 60. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations

41、may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 60 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “un

42、regulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. ANSI/AWWA B507 addresses additives requirements in Sec. 4.3.2 of the standard. The

43、 transfer of contaminants from chemicals to processed water or to residual solids is becoming a problem of great concern. The language in Sec. 4.3.2 is a recommenda - tion only for direct additives used in the treatment of potable water to be certified by an accredited certification organization in

44、accordance with NSF/ANSI 60. However, users of the standard may opt to make this certification a requirement for the product. Users of this standard should also consult the appropriate state or local agency having jurisdiction in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable sta

45、ndards. * Persons outside the United States should contact the appropriate authority having jurisdiction. Copyright 2016 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved.x 2. Determine the status of certifications by all parties offering to certify prod- ucts for contact with, or treatment of,

46、drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Storage and Handling Precautions. Phosphoric acid is often available from a supplier in food-grade and technical-grade purities, both of which may be NSF/ ANSI 60certified or equivalent for potable w

47、ater use. The food-grade chemical usually contains fewer impurities than the technical grade. Phosphoric acid should be stored and handled as any typical acid and should be considered hazardous as a corrosive. Protect containers from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry area in closed containers. R

48、efer to the safety data sheet (SDS) available from the manufacturer or supplier for additional information. Phosphoric acid purchased for nonpotable water application does not need to be certified to NSF/ANSI 60 or equivalent. The user also may wish to obtain price quotations from vendors at differe

49、nt acid concentrations. There is often an advantage in hauling and storage volume costs of utilizing higher-strength acids in the 7075 percent range of concentration. However, it is usually more costly for a producer to provide a more elevated acid concentration so that it may be almost a trade-off in chemical costs. Phosphoric acid is typically the least expensive form of phosphate inhibitor chemi- cal because other inhibitors, including mono- and disodium phosphate, zinc ortho- phosphate, and sodium hexametaphosphate, are prepared from the
