Synthesis and Investigation of Ionic Salts and Liquids as Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Acidic Medium

Abstract

Mild steel has been widely used as a structural material in numerous industries around the world for many years. Corrosion is the most common difficulty encountered while using mild steel, and it causes production to be hampered as well as significant financial loss. This is important in order to identify an acceptable solution to the problem. Materials such as reaction vessels, storage tanks, and cooling tanks are generally made of ferrous alloys in industries, especially in oil wells and petrochemical factories, where HCl acid is used for various reasons such as a cleaning, reactant, etching and de-scaling. Because of the corrosive properties of the HCl acidic media, the metals are damaged. As a result, developing a corrosion control system to resist this procedure becomes a great challenge. Corrosion inhibitors, out of all the strategies available to combat corrosion, play a key part in properly dealing with the situation. The study of corrosion prevention, antifouling, anti-scale development, and other inhibitors is the dominant trend in inhibitor research newline
