Abstract

Abstract Effects of morpholine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), and dimethylamine (DMA) on oxidation kinetics and oxide phase formation/transformation of AISI 1018 steel at 120 °C were evaluated. Low carbon steel samples were exposed to steam in an autoclave containing amine added aqueous solution at pH of 9.5 for 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 h. Control samples exposed to plain steam and amines showed the highest and lowest weight loss respectively. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR) showed that DBU containing steam favored formation of magnetite (Fe3O4) while steam with DMA formed more α and γ-FeOOH. Transformation of magnetite to hematite (α-Fe2O3) was fastest for morpholine. Analysis of oxides morphology was done utilizing Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Oxides formed in plain or DMA containing steam exhibited acicular particles of goethite/hematite (α-FeOOH/α-Fe2O3) compared to DBU containing steam that showed equiaxed particles of magnetite/maghemite (Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3). Morpholine containing steam promoted agglomeration of thin sharp platelets into coarse flakes of hematite.
