Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of a Multifunctional Cellulose Derivative as an Environmentally Friendly Corrosion and Scale Inhibitor in Simulated Cooling Water Systems

Abstract

A borated aminated cellulose citrate (BACC) inhibitor was synthesized from bagasse cellulose with citric acid, diethanolamine, and boric acid by mechanical activation-assisted solid-phase reaction (MASPR) technology. The BACC was characterized using FTIR, XPS, and solid-state CP/MAS NMR. The effect of the BACC inhibitor on the corrosion inhibition of A3 steel in simulated cooling water was investigated using weight loss and electrochemical measurements. It was found that BACC mainly acted as a mixed-type inhibitor in simulated cooling water and predominantly controlled the anodic reaction; furthermore, the inhibition efficiency increased with increased BACC concentration. BACC also showed excellent scale inhibition in simulated cooling water. XRD and SEM analyses of the scale deposits showed that the surface morphology and size of the scale deposits were changed by BACC. These results indicated the potential of BACC as an effective corrosion and scale inhibitor in cooling water.

Impact of some pyrrolidinium ionic liquids on copper dissolution behavior in acidic environment: experimental, morphological and theoretical insights

“…[1][2][3][4] As a result, the dissolution of copper and its inhibition in various environments have received increasing interest in academic research and industry. [5][6][7][8] Previous reports in the literature have been devoted to conquering the challenges of copper corrosion that is common in aqueous solution environments. 9,10 One effective method to mitigate the degradation of copper in acid solution is the use of corrosion inhibitors, such as organic, inorganic, organic anionic and organic cationic inhibitors, which simply protect the metal surface from attack by corrosive species in the media.…”

Construction of eco‐friendly corrosion inhibitor lignin derivative with excellent corrosion‐resistant behavior in hydrochloric acid solution

“…[19][20][21][22][23][24] In recent years, the natural compounds, which were extracted from biomass and used as organic inhibitor, have received extensive attention from researchers in the world. [25][26][27][28][29] Lignin owns a three-dimensional aromatic structure and is the most abundant natural biopolymer next to cellulose on earth. [30] The annual production of kraft lignin in the pulp and paper industry exceeds 50 million tons.…”

Construction of a Novel Lignin-Based Quaternary Ammonium Material with Excellent Corrosion Resistant Behavior and Its Application for Corrosion Protection

“…Third, the corrosion inhibition effect is not affected by the shape of the equipment and the same formulation can sometimes, at the same time, prevent corrosion of various metals in different environments. [13,14,15]. In general, inhibitors contain N, O, S and other heteroatoms that can be easily adsorbed onto the surface of iron and that then compete with the corrosive ions to reduce the contact between the corrosive substances and active sites to attain the effect of corrosion inhibition [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24].…”
