Copper, silver and pectin from apples will protect pipelines from corrosion
Scientific Project Lomonosov

Scientists at BFU named after Kant Immanuel have synthesized copper- and silver-based microparticles, stabilized with apple pectin. Experiments have shown that such particles effectively bind organic sulfur-containing compounds. Since substances containing sulphur atoms are present in the composition of oil and lead to metal corrosion, the development will help prevent pipelines and other equipment in contact with oil from premature destruction. The results are published in Journal of Ecological Engineering.
