Protection of Low-Carbon Steel from Carbon Dioxide Corrosion with Volatile Inhibitors.

摘要

It was shown that many of the known basic inhibitors of atmospheric and hydrogen sulfide corrosion (D-4-3, N,N-diethylamino-2-methylbutan-3-one, and N,N-diethylaminoethanol) fail in CO_2-containing electrolytes. Carbon dioxide corrosion in solution can be suppressed only in the presence of more hydrophobic octylamine and its higher homolog, namely, amine A. The new highly passivating inhibitors IFKhAN-72 and IFKhAN-74 are even more effective. IFKhAN-72 is superior to amine A (the best amine-based inhibitor among those studied) in protection effect and suppresses CO_2 corrosion of steel over a wide temperature range by substantially retarding both electrode reactions. Because of its high penetrating ability, IFKhAN-72 can protect steel already covered with corrosion products. In addition, this inhibitor has a prolonged aftereffect.
