Corrosion Inhibition of a Green Scale Inhibitor Polyepoxysuccinic Acid

摘要

The corrosion inhibition of a green scale inhibitor, polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) wasstudied based on dynamic tests. It is found that when PESA is used alone, it had good corrosioninhibition. So, PESA should be included in the category of corrosion inhibitors. It is not only akind of green scale inhibitor, but also a green corrosion inhibitor. The synergistic effect betweenPESA and Zn2+ or sodium gluconate is poor. However, the synergistic effect among PESA, Zn2+and sodium gluconate is excellent, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency for carbon steel is higherthan 99%. Further study of corrosion inhibition mechanism reveals that corrosion inhibition ofPESA is not affected by carboxyl group, but by the oxygen atom inserted The existence ofoxygen atom in PESA molecular structure makes it easy to form stable chelate with pentacyclicstructure.
