Effect of temperature on CO2 corrosion of carbon steel

This work investigates the effect of temperature on the corrosion product layer of carbon steel exposed to a CO₂‐containing solution. The measurement techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were used to systematically characterize the morphology and composition of the corrosion product layer. The corrosion rates were calculated by weight loss method. The corrosion mechanisms as a function of temperature are studied and discussed. The results showed that temperature is an important factor in the corrosion rate of carbon steel. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Use of HPHT Autoclave to Determine Corrosion Inhibition Effect of Poly（methyl methacrylate-co-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone） on Carbon Steels in 3.5% NaCl Solution Saturated with CO2

The influence of poly(methylmethacrylate-co-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), P(MMA-co-VP), on corrosion of carbon steels(J55, N80, P110 SS and C110 steels) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution saturated with CO2 was evaluated using static high pressure and high temperature(HPHT) autoclave. The surface was further evaluated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and contact angle measurements. Quantum chemical calculations have been used to evaluate the structural, electronic and reactivity parameters of the inhibitor on the steels surface. SEM, XRD and contact angle measurement studies reveal that the surface of metals are quite unaffected after use of inhibitor in 3.5% NaCl solution saturated with CO2.     

Effect of acetic acid on CO2 corrosion of carbon steel in NaCl solution

Potentiodynamic sweep and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were applied to investigate the effects of both temperature and acetic acid (HAc) on the anodic and cathodic reactions in CO₂ corrosion of P110 steel in 3.5% NaCl solution. The temperatures were controlled at 30 and 60 °C. The concentrations of HAc were controlled at 0, 1000, 3000 and 5000 ppm. In this work, the corrosion parameters of polarization curves, such as corrosion potential (E_corr), corrosion current density (i_corr), and anodic and cathodic branch slopes (b_a and b_c), are presented and discussed in detail. In addition, the equivalent circuit models and ZsimpWin software were utilized to discuss the Nyquist plots. The plots showed that the E_corr values shifted in the positive direction as the HAc concentration increased. The i_corr values increased with the increase in HAc concentration, indicating that HAc could accelerate the corrosion. The impedance spectra measured at 30 and 60 °C have different time constants and characterization. The coverage fraction θ and the thickness L of corrosion film are two most important controlled variables that influence and control the CO₂ corrosion mechanisms.

Substrate temperature effects on the structural,compositional, and electrical properties of VO2 thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition

The vanadium dioxide (VO₂) thin films were deposited on silicon (100) substrate using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The thin films were deposited at different substrate temperatures (500°C, 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C) while keeping all the other parameters constant. X‐ray diffraction confirmed the crystalline VO₂ (B) and VO₂ (M) phase formation at different substrate temperatures. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed the presence of V⁴⁺ and V⁵⁺ charge states in all the deposited thin films which confirms that the deposited films mainly consist of VO₂ and V₂O₅. An increase in the VO₂/V₂O₅ ratio has been observed in the films deposited at higher substrate temperatures (700°C and 800°C). Scanning electron microscope micrographs revealed different surface morphologies of the thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures. The electrical properties showed the sharp semiconductor to metal transition behavior with approximately 2 orders of magnitude for the VO₂ thin film deposited at 800°C. The transition temperature for heating and cooling cycles as low as 46.2°C and 42°C, respectively, has been observed which is related to the smaller difference in the interplanar spacing between the as‐deposited thin film and the standard rutile VO₂ as well as to the lattice strain of approximately −1.2%.     

The interaction of CO2 and CO with Fe‐doped SrTiO3(100) surfaces

The interaction of CO₂ and CO with 0.013 at.% Fe‐doped SrTiO₃(100) was investigated in situ with Metastable Induced Electron Spectroscopy (MIES) and XPS at room temperature. To clear up the influence of surface defects, cleaned and sputtered SrTiO₃ surfaces were investigated. Sputtering results in the breaking of Ti? O bonds in the surface and the formation of oxygen‐related defects as well as reduced titanium on the surface. Cleaned SrTiO₃ surfaces do neither interact with CO₂ nor with CO. Sputtered surfaces show a CO formation during CO₂ exposure and—to a lesser extent—during CO exposure. The CO groups can be detected very well with MIES because of its extreme surface sensitivity. With XPS, the characteristic carbonate peak shift of the C 1s orbitals can be detected. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

XPS depth profile study of porous zirconia films deposited on stainless steel by spray pyrolysis: the problem of substrate corrosion

Zirconia (ZrO₂) films of tissue‐like structure and narrow pore size distribution have been deposited by spray pyrolysis using aqueous zirconyl chloride octahydrate (ZrOCl₂·8H₂O) precursor solutions. Stainless‐steel sheets, protected or unprotected by a ZnO barrier layer, have been used as the substrate material held at 473 K. The ZnO barrier layers have been deposited on the stainless steel held at 523 K by spray pyrolysis using a zinc acetate precursor. Their property of corrosion protection to stainless steel has been proved by electrochemical polarization measurements in 0.5 M NaCl solution. A complementary study of XPS (depth profiling, mapping) and x‐ray diffraction has shown that the unprotected steel substrates were corroded during ZrO₂ film post‐annealing in air at T ≥ 773 K, whereas steel substrates protected with a compact barrier layer of crystalline ZnO before ZrO₂ film deposition did not show surface corrosion even after annealing up to 997 K.

Analysis of corrosion scales formed on steel at high temperatures in hydrocarbons containing model naphthenic acids and sulfur compounds

Corrosive naphthenic acids and sulfur compounds in crude oils present a major challenge for refineries from a corrosion perspective. Although it is accepted that some sulfur compounds may form protective FeS scales on the metal surface and deter corrosion, attempting to correlate the characteristics of FeS scale with its protective properties has not been successful. Given the complex chemical compositions of real crudes, model sulfur compound and model naphthenic acids were used to mimic the corrosion by crude fractions in the present study. The iron sulfide scale formed by the model sulfur/acid compounds was challenged by naphthenic acids under high‐velocity conditions to examine its protectiveness against corrosion. Moreover, the scale was analyzed with transmission electron microscope/energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy technique, and a layer of iron oxide formed on the 5Cr steel was found when naphthenic acids were present in the solution. The iron oxide layer appeared to be important for maintaining protection against naphthenic acid corrosion, and further analysis revealed that it was composed of magnetite.

Protection of carbon steel with superhydrophobic coating against corrosion in NaCl solution

Corrosion and kinetics of partial electrode reactions on carbon steel St3 with superhydrophobic coatings of three types were studied in 0.5 M NaCl and 50 g/L NaCl +400 mg/L H₂S solutions. The investigations were carried out on electrodes made of carbon steel St3 with a chemical composition, wt. %: C – 0.20; Mn – 0.50; Si – 0.15; P – 0.04; S – 0.05; Cr – 0.30; Ni – 0.20; Cu – 0.20, and Fe – 98.36. To obtain the type I coating, the metal surface was textured by an IR laser radiation of nanosecond duration followed by chemisorption of fluorobutylsilane out of a solution in n-decane. To obtain a coating of type II, a nanoscale composite layer consisting of aggregates of aerosil nanoparticles was applied additionally to the outcome of type I method. To obtain a coating of type III, the metal surface after being textured by the infrared (IR) laser radiation of nanosecond duration was followed by chemisorption of fluoroxy silane. The influence of duration τ of the medium corrosive impact on protective effect of the superhydrophobic coating is considered. It was shown that upon reaching a steady state (after 72 h), the corrosion rate of steel with a superhydrophobic coating of I and II types in a 0.5 M NaCl solution is reduced by 23 ± 3 times compared with unprotected samples. Approximately the same picture is characteristic of electrodes with a coating of type III in a solution of 50 g/L NaCl +400 mg/L H₂S.     

Thermal analysis of corrosion products formed on carbon steel in ammonium chloride solution

The influence of different ions NO₃ ^? and SO₄ ^2? on the carbon steel corrosion in ammonium chloride was investigated using mass loss measurements and potentiodynamic polarization. Corrosion products were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and simultaneous thermal and differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC). XPS analysis shows that the main product of corrosion is a non-stoichiometric Fe³⁺ oxyhydroxide, consisting of a mixture of FeO(OH) and FeO(OH) containing inclusions of these anions, species such as Fe³⁺O(OH,Cl^?); Fe³⁺O(OH,SO₄ ^2?); and Fe³⁺O(OH,NO₃ ^?). TG/DSC confirms the decomposition of the rusty products formed by chemical corrosion, compounds like Fe³⁺ oxyhydroxides, with β-FeOOH as the major phase, crystal structure of which may contain Cl^?, NO₃ ^?, and SO₄ ^2?—e.g., akaganeite [Fe³⁺O(OH,A)].     

Theoretical and experimental approach of inhibition effect by sulfamethoxazole on mild steel corrosion in 1‐M HCl

The inhibition effect of sulfamethoxazole on mild steel corrosion in 1‐M hydrochloric acid solution is investigated by electrochemical and quantum chemical measurements. Electrochemical polarization studies show that sulfamethoxazole acts as a mixed‐type corrosion inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel in 1‐M hydrochloric acid system is studied at different temperatures (303‐333 K). The adsorption of sulfamethoxazole on mild steel surface is an exothermic process and obeys the Temkin adsorption isotherm. Based on the potential of zero charge values and quantum chemical parameters, the mechanism of adsorption is proposed.

Corrosion resistances of passive films on low‐Cr steel and carbon steel in simulated concrete pore solution

The passive ranges of carbon steel rebar and 3Cr steel rebar in saturated Ca(OH)₂‐simulated concrete pore solution with pH 12.6 were determined by means of cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization curves. Chronopotentiometry was used to obtain steady‐state conditions for the formation of passive films on rebar samples at different anodic potentials. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Mott–Schottky and X‐ray photoelectron spectrometer curves were employed to compare the formed passive films at different potentials. Additionally, cyclic polarization curves were used to compare the corrosion resistances of formed passive films on the two rebars in saturated Ca(OH)₂‐simulated concrete pore solution with different concentration of Cl^?. The results show that the passive ranges of the two rebars are all between ?0.15 and +0.6 V, and more stable passive films can be formed on both rebars at the anodic potential of +0.3 V. In the absence of Cl^?, the stability and corrosion resistance of the passive film formed on the 3Cr rebar are better than those of CS rebar. The passive film of 3Cr steel has the relatively better pitting corrosion resistance than carbon steel in saturated Ca(OH)₂‐simulated concrete pore solution that contains different concentration of Cl^?.

Study of the corrosion products formed on carbon steel surface in hydrochloric acid solution

Effect of an antibacterial drug, sulfacetamide, IUPAC name N-[(4-aminophenyl) sulfonyl] acetamide (APSA), on the corrosion products formed on carbon steel surface in 1.0?mol?L^?1 HCl solution has been investigated using mass loss, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and simultaneous thermal and differential scanning calorimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DSC/DTA). Mass loss measurements reveal that the corrosion rate of carbon steel is retarded by APSA and that the inhibition efficiency of this inhibitor increases with increasing the concentration. XPS analysis shows that, at this stage, the main product of corrosion is a non-stoichiometric Fe³⁺ oxyhydroxide, consisting of a mixture of FeO(OH) in anhydrous or hydrated forms, containing Cl^? inclusions and adsorbed APSA molecules. The mechanism of inhibition was discussed in light of the chemical structure of the investigated inhibitor. The corrosion products were analyzed using TG/DSC/DTA technique.     

Spectroscopic study of decontaminated corroded carbon steel surfaces

Removal of uranium from contaminated carbon steel surfaces by chelation with hydroxycarboxylic acid has been tested as a cleaning process for decommissioning and decontaminating contaminated surfaces. Comparison of contaminated surfaces prior to decontamination with subsequently cleaned surfaces was done in order to study the effectiveness of this cleaning technique. This was accomplished using various spectroscopic techniques, including x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron infrared microspectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy/energy‐dispersive spectroscopy. Mild carbon steel (1010) coupons were exposed to uranyl nitrate solution, which led to the formation of a lightly corroded surface. Some contaminated samples underwent further cyclic humidity treatment, during which additional corrosion took place. In this study, it was found that a citric acid–hydrogen peroxide–citric acid cleaning method successfully removed uranium in lightly corroded areas. However, the method but incompletely decontaminated some heavily corroded areas where more highly crystallized corrosion products are found or where complex surface structure can occlude contaminants. Use of complementary analytical techniques is essential to provide an accurate model of surface chemistry before and after decontamination. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Green approach to corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid medium using extract of spirogyra algae

In the present investigation, a fresh water green algae spirogyra is used as an inexpensive and efficient mild steel corrosion inhibitor. The study is carried out in 0.5?M HCl solution using weight loss measurements, scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The maximum inhibition efficiency was found to be 93.03% at 2?g?L^?1. The adsorption of extract of spirogyra on mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Corrosion inhibition mechanisms were inferred from the temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency as well as from calculation of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters which direct the process. FT-IR analysis of green algae spirogyra revealed the presence of hydroxyl, amino, and carbonyl groups, which are responsible for the adsorption on the mild steel surface. SEM analysis supported the inhibitive action of the spirogyra extract against the mild steel corrosion in acid solution.
