Programme Highlight
Lead
concentrations in tap water are influenced by reactions between lead pipes and
the water in the distribution system. Of
particular interest are oxidation-reduction reactions and reactions with
phosphate or sodium silicate added as a corrosion inhibitor. The presentation will include data from
laboratory-scale dissolution-precipitation experiments and bench-scale pipe
loop tests with lead pipes and copper with lead-containing solider.
