What drives double displacement reactions?
Dissolved salts exist as separated, hydrated ions, moving and reacting independently. (*)
Like for $\ce{Zn}$ and $\ce{CuSO4}$:
The reaction is $\ce{Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq) -> Zn^2+(aq) + Cu(s)}$.
The ...

Completely chemically inert metal alloy?
The problem is that in different media different metals / alloys are so corrosion resistant than we regard them as being "inert".
It is interesting that aluminium in strong nitric acid is ...

Completely chemically inert metal alloy?
Not the best source but Wikipedia says that Iridium is one of the most corrosive resistant metal elements (I believe I have seen it referred to as "the most" elsewhere). Only some molten ...

What are good ways to anticipate co-crystalization of different metal ions?
Major factors for coprecipitation are shared valency, similar ionic radius, shared relevant chemistry regarding counter-ions. Like Al, Cr and Fe(III) in alums.
Note the various forms of co-...

Best material selection for a component containing hot saturated-level saline water with high chloride content (Polymer vs coated metal)
Depending on size, fiberglass would likely be cheapest; one would need to research epoxy or polyester for binder. More costly would be rubber lined steel. Rubber lined steel rail cars and storage ...
