The study found that the addition of orthophosphate is more effective in controlling lead release compared to sodium silicate. Silicate treatment results in degradation of the top lead scale layer, leading to increased lead release. On the other hand, orthophosphate encourages the growth of structured and thicker corrosion scales, effectively limiting lead release.
Orthophosphate is widely used to control lead (Pb) release in drinking water distribution systems, but phosphorus addition is not sustainable. Alternative corrosion control treatments are needed, and sodium silicate is one possibility. Here, pre-corroded Pb coupons-with and without free chlorine-were used to examine early-phase corrosion scale development after silicate addition, with orthophosphate as a reference corrosion inhibitor. Scale development was evaluated in terms of total Pb release, phase transformation, electrochemical impedance, morphological changes, Pb dissolution kinetics, and short-term Pb-Cu galvanic corrosion. Elevated Pb release occurred for approximately one month after silicate addition, and total Pb release peaked at 1968.1 mu g/L and 1176.9 mu g/L from systems with and without free chlorine, respectively. In contrast, orthophosphate-treated coupons exhibited fewer, less pronounced spikes in Pb release. By day 354, the median total Pb release from orthophosphate-treated coupons with and without free chlorine had decreased to 3.7 and 5.0 mu g/L, respectively, while the median total Pb release from corresponding silicate-treated coupons was much higher, at 44.9 mu g/L and 34.3 mu g/L. Calcium lead apatite (Ca0.56Pb3.77(PO4)(3)OH0.67) was identified in orthophosphate-treated scales, with hydroxylpyromorphite (Pb-5(PO4)(3)OH) present in the absence of free chlorine. Plattnerite occurred on coupons in all chlorinated systems. Pb silicate compounds were not detected, but Ca2SiO4 and Na2Ca2(SiO3)(3) were identified by X-ray powder diffraction. The charge transfer: film resistance ratio characterizing the orthophosphate-treated coupons decreased slowly while that of the silicate-treated coupons increased after silicate was added. These variations suggest orthophosphate provided better corrosion control than silicate did. Silicate treatment generally caused degradation of the top Pb scale layer, resulting in elevated Pb release, while orthophosphate encouraged the growth of more structured, generally thicker, corrosion scales that were effective in limiting Pb release.
