Abstract

The performance of 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl) amino]-2-(salicylideneamino)ethane (HAS) as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in CO2-saturated 3.0% NaCl solution under aerated and deaerated conditions was studied using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods at different temperatures. The results obtained show that in aerated environment, HAS acts as an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in CO2-saturated brine solution and accelerate corrosion under deaerated condition. Inhibition efficiency (IE%) increased with increase in HAS concentration but decreased with increase in temperature. Corrosion inhibition action was via the adsorption of HAS on the metals surface which follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Polarization curves indicate that HAS functions as a mixed-type inhibitor.
