Celem badań było określenie możliwości zastosowania wulkanicznego tufu jako inhibitora korozji w środowiskach wodnych oraz określenie mechanizmów, które powodują, że tuf wulkaniczny działa jako inhibitor korozji. Zakres badań obejmuje: badania struktury i wybranych właściwości tufu z Filipowic, w tym faktograficzne badania tufu w postaci skał, analizy dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej i analizy termicznej; badanie odporności na korozję DC01A stali niskowęglowej w środowiskach wodnych bez oraz z inhibitorem, którym jest tuf wulkaniczny. 

The aim of the studies was to examine the applicability of volcanic tuff as a corrosion inhibitor in aqueous systems and to identify the mechanisms owing to which the tuff is acting as an inhibitor of corrosion. The scope of research includes: examinations of the structure and selected properties of the tuff from Filipowice, including fractographic examination of the Filipowice tuff rocks, X-ray diffraction analysis, and thermal analysis; study of the corrosion resistance of DC01A low-carbon steel in aqueous systems without and with inhibitor, which is volcanic tuff.
