DEVELOPMENT OF A CORROSION INHIBITOR MICELLE DETECTION METHOD: A REVIEW WITH CASE STUDIES

摘要

The February 2014 branch meeting was held on the 25th of February and well attended by delegates from different technical disciplines. Cameron Mackenzie of Lux Assure was the guest speaker for the night and covered a novel technique deployed in combination with other traditional techniques to establish corrosion inhibitor availability. The speaker referenced a National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) article published in 1971 and used this as evidence to establish that the link between micelles and corrosion had been widely reported for more than 40 years. He explained that the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) was an important parameter in the use of this technology and used a traffic light system to illustrate how CMC can been used to establish corrosion inhibitor availability.
