Water-soluble thiosemicarbazide-imidazole derivative as an efficient inhibitor protecting P110 carbon steel from CO2 corrosion
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to adopt both the fragments of imidazole and thiosemicarbazide as reaction centers, to synthesize a water-soluble corrosion inhibitor named as thiosemicarbazide-imidazole derivative (TH-IM).
Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents potentiodynamic polarization tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests and morphology study of metal surface by scanning electron microscope and thermodynamic study.
Findings
In the aggressive condition of CO2 saturated Wt. NaCl solution at 333 K for 72 h with 400 ppm inhibitor dosage, the efficiency of inhibition increases approximately 98 per cent through the method of weight loss.
Originality/value
This paper finds a new corrosion inhibitor about TH-IM which has a good solubility in water.
