Abstract
Guangdong Province, which is located in southern China, has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity, making it extremely unfavourable for the corrosion resistance of various materials. Meanwhile, as a quickly developing region in China, Guangdong Province is also facing multi-pollutant conditions, which seriously affect the atmospheric degradation of the materials in this region. It is therefore necessary to identify the key air pollutants that affect the atmospheric corrosivity of Guangdong Province and to propose targets of air pollutant control. An analysis of the environmental data and corrosion rates in Guangdong Province showed that the atmospheric corrosivity of the entire region is closely related to the presence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3). In addition, a superposition model was utilised to reflect the synergistic effect of SO2 and O3, and a superimposed map of both pollutants was drawn to demonstrate their amount. To control the corrosion rate of carbon steel and avoid exceeding the C2 classification in ISO 9223, the following targets of air pollutant control are proposed: an SO2 concentration of lower than 10 μg m−3 and an O3 level of lower than 85 μg m−3.
