Abstract

The synergistic inhibition effect of imidazoline ammonium salt (IAS) coupled respectively with three cationic surfactants in H₂S/CO₂ brine solution was predicted by molecular dynamic simulation technology. The predicted results were verified for Q235 steel in 3.5%NaCl solution by means of mass loss method, potentiodynamic polarization measurement and XPS analysis. Results show that the combination of IAS with dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) or tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) all presents good synergistic inhibition effect. The complex corrosion inhibitors are mixed-type inhibitor. From XPS results, it follows that during the corrosion process, the IAS might mainly play the role in the formation of inhibition film on the Q235 steel surface, while the surfactant could mainly fill in the defects of the forming corrosion inhibition film. Possibly, the difference in synergistic inhibition effect for different complex inhibitors may be related to the steric hindrance of inhibitor molecules.

Key words: CO₂/H₂S corrosion carbon steel corrosion inhibitor XPS molecular dynamic simulation free volume fraction
