Abstract

adsorption isotherms carbon dioxide corrosion corrosion inhibitors FTIR
Corrosion rate data for several commercial carbon dioxide corrosion inhibitors have been fitted to the Temkin adsorption isotherm and van't Hoff equation, enabling a determination of the enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH°ad). It has been found that experimentally determined ΔH°ad values for commercial inhibitor formulations can provide valuable insights into the behaviour of the inherent active components. The temperature sensitivities along with the mechanism of adsorption (physi- or chemisorption) and the minimum concentration required for activity of inhibitors is determinable by this approach. Additionally, FTIR has been used to identify those inhibitors that are tenaciously adsorbed to steel, and suitable for use in batch treatment applications.
