CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEELS IN DISINFECTANT SOLUTIONS

Abstract
Surface disinfection is a relevant measure for the inactivation of microorganisms and viruses. This procedure is used almost everywhere, from water treatment facilities to medical institutions and public facilities. The disadvantage of these measures is the increased corrosion of the contact surfaces, often made of stainless steels and accompanied by the leaching of heavy metals from them. According to WHO recommendations, the largest amount of disinfectants is hypochlorite solutions. The article investigates the corrosive effect of disinfectants on stainless steels of the 300th series. For research, chlorinecontaining solutions were used at a concentration of 2 wt.% in terms of hypochlorite ion and ozone-saturated water as an alternative disinfectant solution. The research results showed that solutions of sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite have the greatest corrosion effect on the studied stainless steels. In this case, the largest amount of leachable metals from the studied steels occurs when using a solution of calcium hypochlorite. The use of water saturated with ozone does not lead to the washing out of heavy metals from all the studied steels.
