Study on the Performance and Mechanism of Morpholine Salt Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors on Carbon Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
A series of morpholine salt volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) were synthesized via solid-phase chemical reactions. The corrosion inhibition performance was assessed using evaporation weight loss, VCI capability, and corrosion weight loss tests. The corrosion inhibition mechanisms of the morpholine salt VCIs for carbon steel in atmospheric conditions were explored through electrochemical testing under thin film electrolytes, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and computational simulations. Morpholine carbonate exhibited higher volatility. Corrosion weight loss tests showed an >85% reduction for steel treated with morpholine benzoate or morpholine carbonate. The inhibitors’ inhibition mechanism, elucidated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and computational simulations, revealed that morpholine carbonate and benzoate form protective layers via physical and chemical adsorption on the steel surface, coordinating with iron atoms through nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Quantum chemical calculations demonstrated that morpholine carbonate had stronger adsorption energy and electron transfer capabilities, indicating superior corrosion inhibition performance over morpholine benzoate.
