The hazards of mercury corrosion

2026-01-29View Original

Thread Content

Mercury corrosion not only damages metal materials but can also cause the following hazards: equipment failure – in the gathering and transportation systems of mercury-containing gas fields, mercury corrosion can lead to equipment failure, affecting normal production. Safety risks: Trace amounts of mercury in natural gas are highly corrosive to the aluminum alloy plate-fin heat exchangers used in light hydrocarbon processing units. If not removed in a timely manner, it can lead to gas leaks and shutdown of the units, resulting in significant economic losses and safety hazards. Environmental pollution: Mercury and its compounds are highly toxic and can cause serious harm to both humans and the environment. Prolonged exposure to high mercury levels can lead to brain damage and death.
