The final component, “202”, however brief, evokes thoughts of sequences, patterns, and small yet significant contributions. The year 2020 held extraordinary significance globally, reshaping lives due to the pandemic. It was a time of reckoning; individuals and societies re-evaluated priorities, focusing on health, connection, and resilience. The echoes of 2020 are still heard today, pushing us to reflect on lessons learned and the importance of community and collaboration in overcoming adversities.
Sodium thiocyanate is composed of sodium (Na^+) and thiocyanate (SCN^-) ions. The thiocyanate ion consists of a sulfur atom bonded to a carbon atom, which is in turn bonded to a nitrogen atom. This linear structure contributes to the unique reactivity and properties of thiocyanate compounds. Sodium thiocyanate exhibits ionic character due to the presence of the sodium cation, which makes it highly soluble in polar solvents such as water.
When added to boiler feed water, amines can neutralize acidic compounds, such as carbon dioxide, which can dissolve in water to form carbonic acid. This acid can lead to pitting and general corrosion of boiler components. By converting these acids into their corresponding amine salts, the corrosion potential of the water is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the use of volatile amines allows for the treatment to be effective across the entire steam system and not just in the boiler itself, as these amines can carry over with steam into the condensate return system.

2. Non-Reinforcing Fillers Unlike reinforcing fillers, non-reinforcing fillers typically serve to reduce costs and improve processing ease rather than enhance mechanical strength. Examples include calcium carbonate, talc, and clay. These fillers can also enhance certain properties, such as thermal conductivity or opacity, depending on the specific application.
