“…Since quinoline derivatives have outstanding inhibitive property in HCl and 3.5% NaCl solution [25][26][27][28] and Gemini surfactants are effective inhibitors in HCl, CO 2 -containing, and H 2 S and CO 2 coexistent solution [29][30][31][32][33], this research was designed to investigate the synergistic effect between quinoline quaternary ammonium salt (1-benzyl-quinolinium chloride, QB for short) and Gemini surfactant (1,3-bis(dodecyldimethylammonium chloride)-2-propanol, 12-3OH-12 for short) in a H 2 S and CO 2 saturated brine solution via electrochemical measurements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis (XPS) was also used to determine the adsorption behavior of inhibitors on steel surface.…”
