It must be very clear that Citric acid passivation is only the second best. EMS wants Nitric acid passivation as far as possible. Only when the cost are excessive to the ships budget (not charterers account) then Citric acid passivation may be considered, provided the process is done the right way.
Halite /ËhaelaÉªt/ , ËhÃ¦laÉªt commonly known as rock, salt is a type of, salt the mineral form of sodium (Chloride Na). clalite occurs in vast beds of sedimentary evaporite minerals that result from the drying up of enclosed lakes, playas, and seas. Salt beds may be hundreds of meters thick and underlie broad areas.
Natural sea salt has little parts and pieces of other minerals besides sodium chloride. Rock salts that can be eaten are sometimes a little grayish in color because of these other minerals. Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are the two elements that make up sodium chloride. Both of these are needed for all living creatures, including humans, but they are not always eaten in the form of salt, where they are found together in large amounts.
