Yellow Prussiate of Soda (YPS)

Yellow Prussiate of Soda (YPS)

(OP)
The problem that I have find a tank that will be able to store Yellow Prussiate of Soda (YPS), but I do not know what type of material will be able to handle it. The tank that held the YPS was steel and it rusted out. I was thinking of polyethylene, it seems to work for like concentrations (10ppm). However, the concentration of the YPS I am during with is around 80-100ppm.

I was hoping that maybe someone has some experience with YPS. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

RE: Yellow Prussiate of Soda (YPS)

Glass lined tank, you have a very high basic substance that promotes oxidization.  The corrosion mechanism is intergranular when YPS is in contact with the steel.
