Corrosion inhibition with propargyl cyclohexylamine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6323539

A method is described for inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces in contact with aqueous mineral acid solutions, for example, in the acidizing of oil wells, electrolytic cleaning baths, and electrolytic refining of metals, as well as in metal cleaning and pickling baths. The inhibiting composition or solution contains from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the solution, of propargyl cyclohexylamine while the solution is in contact with the metal. A concentration between 0.05-0.5% is particularly preferred, especially for corrosive systems at elevated temperatures, e.g. in the neighborhood of 80$C. The acidic solution can be dilute or concentrated and can be of any of the concentrations used in treating metals, e.g. ferrous metals, for example 5-80%. (2 claims)
