| Abstract: | A
multi-component blend of inhibitors containing sodium salt of
diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) (50 to 100 ppm), Zn2+as ZnSO4.7H2O
(50 to 70 ppm) and 1-hydroxy ethyledene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) (50 to 150
ppm) was formulated as corrosion and fouling inhibitor for carbon steel in open
recirculating cooling water system of Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL),
Golaghat, Assam and evaluated by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization
methods. The results showed that each of NaDEDTC,
HEDP and ZnSO4.7H2O in
1.0:1.4:1.0 ratios can significantly decrease corrosion, scale build-up
and microbial growth under the test condition. Potentiodynamic polarization
curves indicate both cathodic and anodic corrosion inhibition. SEM and EDS
studies indicate the formation of an adsorbed protective film containing of Fe2+-HEDP,
Zn2+-HEDP, Zn2+-DEDTC complexes on the metal surface. |
