In this work, to better understand and evaluate the corrosion performance of candidate structural steels and ferritic stainless steels for production, transport, and storage of biomass pyrolysis oils, corrosion studies were conducted in selected organic constituents of bio-oils, including catechol, formic acid, and their mixtures as well as lactobionic acid, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. R₂, the resistance against corrosion reaction, was obtained by fitting measured impedance spectra into an equivalent circuit. The values of R₂ were then used to assess corrosion resistance of the steels in each organic constituent and mixture. Type 410 and 430 stainless steels were resistant to corrosion in all tested organic constituents, while 2.25Cr-1Mo steel was not. 9Cr-1Mo steel was corrosion resistant in catechol but not in the other mixtures that contained organic acids. On the basis of the results of this work, it is suggested that the corrosion resistance against organic acids is attributed to formation of a Cr-rich passive film that requires stainless steels with critical Cr levels in excess of approximately 11 wt %. In catechol-only solution, lower levels of Cr intermediate between that of 2.25Cr-1Mo steel and 9Cr-1Mo steel appeared sufficient.
