This paper presents the results of a study that was undertaken to optimize the ratio of the components of a new multi-component inhibitor blend composed of orthophosphate/ phosphonates/ acrylate copolymer/ isothiazolone. The effects of newly developed inhibitor on carbon steel dissolution in synthetic cooling water were studied through weight loss tests, electrochemical tests, scale tests, and micro-organism tests. The obtained results were compared to blank (uninhibited specimen) and showed that developed inhibitor revealed very good corrosion, scale, and micro-organism inhibition simultaneously. All measurements indicated that the efficiency of the blended mixture exceeded 90 %. The inhibitive effects arose from formation of protective films which might contain calcium phosphate, calcium phosphonate, and iron oxide. The nature of protective films formed on the carbon steel was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and auger electron spe ctroscopy (AES). Inhibitor used in this study appeared to have better performance for scale inhibition due to their superior crystal modification effect and excellent calcium carbonate scale inhibition properties. The effect of inhibitor on microorganisms was evaluated through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. All kinds of micro-organisms used in this study were inhibited under 78ppm concentration of inhibitor.

A non-phosphorous program employing an alkyl epoxy carboxylate (AEC) has been successfully applied to petrochemical and other large industrial open recirculating cooling water systems. AEC is a patented non-phosphorous calcium carbonate scale inhibitor that has demonstrated better scale inhibition abilities than traditional organic phosphonates. In addition to its antiscalant properties, AEC inhibits carbon steel corrosion when used at high dosages. AEC can be combined with zinc to form a non-phosphorous program with very low levels of phosphate to provide an environmentally acceptable program. In actual applications, the total phosphate developed in the cooling system from cycling the makeup is below 1 ppm as $PO_4$. This level has complied with the highest standards of wastewater discharge limitations. The performance of two AEC/Zinc applications is reviewed. In both cases excellent corrosion and scale control were achieved with AEC/Zinc programs. One case history details the performance with a low hardness water (100 ppm calcium, as $CaCO_3$) operating at 8-10 cycles of concentration. The corrosive nature of the water and the long retention time of the system stressed both the corrosion and scale control capabilities of the program. The second case history demonstrates the performance of the program with a moderate hardness water (400-600 ppm calcium, as $CaCO_3$), but under harsh conditions of high temperature and low flow. The AEC/zinc combination has been found to be highly effective in controlling the corrosion of ferrous metals. AEC can provide good corrosion inhibition at high concentrations, while zinc is known to be an excellent cathodic inhibitor. The combination of the two inhibitors not only provides a synergistic blend that is effective over a wide range of operating conditions, but also is environmentally friendly.

During the past decades, the corrosion of the steel rebar embedded in concrete structure surrounding marine environment is actually problematic and required the suitable preventive method. An eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor mix is investigated to stifle the active corrosion in comparison with other commercial corrosion inhibitors. The hybrid inhibitor enhances the corrosion resistance and the workability of concrete. However, it reduces the compressive strength slightly after 28-day-age. The electrochemical studies and mechanical studies are pointed out the corrosion resistance property, corrosion kinetics, and the mechanical properties of all concrete samples. H-3 is the optimum dose of hybrid inhbitor that meets the demand of both electrochemical property and mechanical property. It performs the noble features due to the formation of optimum amount of P-Zwitterions-(Cl)-Fe complex onto the steel rebar surface.

The study of the corrosion inhibition of armatures made of steel conceived for reinforced concrete by sodium phosphate is the aim object of our experimental tests. Gravimetric and electrochemical measurements were carried in three different Mediums contaminated by chlorides (3% NaCl) with addition of increasing concentrations of sodium phosphate. Inhibitory efficiency reached 80% at an optimal concentration of $7,5{\times}10^{-3}M$, the results obtained using the gravimetric measurements are in good agreement with those obtained by electrochemical methods. However, the monitoring of the pH evolution after 24h shows in the three studied environments, that the pH decreases slightly at 24 hours from the initial pH at $t_0$, due to the presence of corrosion products which change the state of the final solution. Also, scanning electron microscopy revealed the existence of layers of apatite on the metal surface previously treated with the sodium phosphate which confirms the formation of a protective film around the surface of the metal.

The current study evaluated the disinfection efficiency of free chlorine and chloramine for microorganisms on various pipe materials, such as copper, galvanized steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel. In addition, the effect of internal pipe corrosion and corrosion inhibitors on the bactericidal efficiency was evaluated using a simulated loop. For disinfection with a phosphate corrosion inhibitor, chloramination was found to be more effective than chlorination due to its persistence. Free chlorine disinfection was optimized with a high phosphoric acid concentration, while chloramine disinfection was optimized with a high phosphoric acid or low polyphosphate concentration. In simulated copper and galvanized steel loop tests, chloramination with phosphoric acid was demonstrated to be more effective.

In this study, the optimum amount of chloride ions is used to collaborate with hybrid corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel rebar treatment in simulated pore concrete (SCP) solution is discovered. The corrosion inhibition performance of hybrid inhibitors is carried on by open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization (PP). The highest corrosion inhibition resistance is found in case of LP-C2 after 240 h exposure. Surface studies including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to figure out the surface morphology of the steel rebar treated with hybrid inhibitors in order to collaborate well with electrochemical studies. Anodic type inhibition action was confirmed by potentiodynamic polarization study.

In this study, the optimum amount of hybrid inhibitors i.e. L-Arginine (LA) and sodium phosphate tribasic dodecahydrate (SP), applied for carbon steel rebar in simulated pore concrete (SCP) solution contaminated with 3.5 wt.% NaCl, was discovered. The corrosion inhibition performance of hybrid inhibitors was investigated by open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization. The highest corrosion inhibition efficiency was found as 99.52% corresponding to 2% LA and 0.25% SP after 210 h exposure. Anodic type inhibition action was confirmed by potentiodynamic polarization study. Surface studies including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to figure out the surface morphology of the steel rebar treated with hybrid inhibitors in order to collaborate with electrochemical studies.

Six corrosion inhibitors for cooling water use were evaluated by means of a corrosometer in a laboratory bench scale test. A steel probe (Alloy 1020) was exposed and checked for the extent of corrosion in a recirculating water system, changing inhibitors and their concentrations at $40^{\circ}C$. A 95% inhibition was provided at the following concentrations of inhibitors. 50 ppm sodium hexametaphosphate 50 ppm commercial inhibitor A 50 ppm commercial inhibitor B 100 ppm disodium phosphate 200 ppm sodium chromate Sodium silicate was found to be use-less in this test. It was also observed that some inhibitors worked less effectively on the acid-cleaned steel probe.

본 연구는 수돗물과 SWRO 생산수의 수질 특성을 분석하여 SWRO 생산수가 지닌 강한 부식성을 확인하였으며, 이를 근거로 해수담수화 시설의 유지관리 및 부식제어를 목표로 진행되었다. 연구 초기 과정에서는 철 시편(mild steel coupon)에 대한 회분식 실험(Batch test)과 전기화학 실험을 통해 수돗물과 SWRO 생산수의 부식성을 비교하였다. SWRO 생산수의 부식성 제어를 위한 수단으로써 액상소석회(liquid lime, $Ca(OH)_2$)와 이산화탄소(Carbon Dioxide, $CO_2$)를 주입하는 방법과 액상소석회와 인산염계 부식억제제(Phosphate Corrosion Inhibitor, $P_2O_5$)의 조합에 이산화탄소를 주입하는 두 가지 방법을 비교하였다. 실험을 통한 각 수질의 평가는 부식성 평가 지수인 LSI(Langelier Saturation Index)를 통해 비교하였고 그 결과를 통해 액상소석회와 인산염계 부식억제제의 최적 주입량을 선정하여 모의배관 실험(Loop system test)에 적용하였다. 모의배관 운전 평가 후 장착된 금속배관(steel pipe)은 내부의 스케일에 대한 기기분석(SEM, EDX, XRD) 평가를 수행하여 형성물의 주성분과 산화상 및 원소 함류량을 비교 할 수 있었다. 실험 결과, SWRO 생산수에 부식제어기술을 적용하지 않은 대조군과 비교하여 적정량의 단일 액상소석회를 주입한 경우 평균 97.4%의 높은 부식억제 효과를 나타내었고, 액상소석회 와 부식억제제 조합이 주입된 경우 평균 90.9%의 부식억제 효과를 나타냈다. 모의배관 실험 과정 중 금속배관 내부에 형성된 스케일은 대조군의 경우 주로 철 산화물인 반면, 실험군의 경우 탄산칼슘($CaCO_3$) 피막이 형성되어 부식방지에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

Sodium nitrite is widely used as one of the popular corrosion inhibitors for the protection of ferrous metal in closed cooling water system, such as a diesel engine and a chiller. The optimum treatment conditions are studied through laboratory tests using linear polarization resistance (LPR) technique. Corrosion rate of the carbon steel electrode could be maintained less than $2.5{\times}10^{-3}$ mmpy in the test condition of 500 ppm as ${NO_2}^-$, 200 ppm as $Cl^-$, $70^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.8. The pH control is confirmed not to be an important factor in the protection of carbon steel by sodium nitrite inhibitor. The addition of tolyltriazole was needed for the protection of the copper alloy in the sodium nitrite treatment system.
