Efficiency of a Cadmium Complex of Nitril-trismethylenephosphonic Acid As a Corrosion Inhibitor of Low-Carbon Steel in Neutral Iodide-Containing Aqueous Media and Features of Formation of Passivating Films under These Conditions
摘要
A potentiodynamic study is performed of the effect the cadmium complex of nitrile-trismethylenephosphonic acid Na4[Cd(H2O)N(CH2PO3)3]⋅7H2O has on the corrosion-electrochemical behavior of low-carbon steel in neutral iodide-containing aqueous media. The composition and structure of passivating films, spatial localization of inhibitor interaction with iron ions, and accompanying processes and products of these interactions, are studied via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with layer-by-layer etching. With 1.4 mmol/dm3 of I− ions, Na4[Cd(H2O)N(CH2PO3)3]⋅7H2O at a concentration of 0.05–0.5 g/dm3 reduces the current density of anodic dissolution of metal. It stimulates corrosion at concentrations of 1.0 g/dm3 and above. The optimum concentration of inhibitor is 0.2–0.5 g/dm3.
