Description

$347,510 Patented July 31, 1962 This invention relates to new corrosion inhibitor compositions. In one of its aspects, this invention relates to corrosion resisting acid solutions useful in the cleaning of metallic surfaces. in another of its aspects, this invention relates to an improvement in the cleaning of metallic surfaces employing aqueous acid solutions.
In steel mills aqueous acid solutions are used to pickle iron and steel. That is, in the process of manufacturing, metal is worked at elevated temperatures and on cooling it becomes coated with a layer of oxide, generally called scale or mill scale. The process of removing scale and rust using dilute aqueous acid solutions is known as pickling. Most worked metal which is to be coated, plated or processed through a die, is first pickled. Because of its price, availability and ability to perform an efiicient job, sulfuric acid is used quite extensively in pickling, although sulfamic, phosphoric and other acids are also employed. Acid solutions are also commonly used in the cleaning of other metal surfaces such as Zinc, aluminum, brass and the like.
In the cleaning of metal surfaces with acid solutions after the scale and other undesirable surface impurities are dissolved, the acid is free to corrode or dissolve the exposed metal surface. For example, the corrosion rate of mild steel in 15%, by weight, sulfuric acid at 200 F. is over 2.5 pounds per square foot per day. Thus, for every pound of iron dissolved, about 2.5 pounds of 60 Baumm sulfuric acid are spent and nearly 7 cubic feet of hydrogen gas are evolved. In view of this, it is common for pickling baths to contain an acid corrosion inhibitor. These inhibitors must not retard the pickling efficiency of the acid, and should also reduce acid fuming and spattering into the atmosphere. A common deficiency in commercially available pickling bath inhibitors is the deposit of a resinous film on the surface of the metal which tends to color the same and interfere with subsequent cleaning and coating operations. Also, many of the available inhibitors are difiicult to work with by reason of their physical form and their slight solubility in the pickling bath.
In accordance with the present invention, I have found that a synergistic corrosion inhibiting effect is produced by combining in a particular proportion two agents which by themselves are not particularly effective as corrosion inhibitors. These mixtures are easily handled, being liquid and soluble at ordinary temperatures, and leave the cleansed surface free of any undesirable resinous film. Also, these mixtures are particularly efiective corrosion inhibitors in sulfuric, sulfamic and phosphoric acid solutions.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide new corrosion inhibitor compositions.
It is another object of this invention to provide corrosion resisting acid solutions useful for the cleaning of metallic surfaces.
It is still another object of this invention to provide an improved process for the cleaning of metallic surfaces employing aqueous acid solutions.
My improved corrosion inhibiting composition contains one part of dibutylthiourea and from 1 to parts by weight of a quaternary ammonium compound represented by the formula R NX wherein R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, said compound being further characterized by the fact that at least 1 and no more than 2 of the Rs is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containiug from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and X is a halide such as chlorine or bromine. The preferred ratio of dibutylthiourea to quaternary ammonium compound is l to 3 parts by weight.
7 Examples of long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms coming within the definition of R described hereinabove include octyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, octadecenyl, octadecadienyl, octadecatrienyl, docosyl, eicosyl, and mixtures of the foregoing hydrocarbon radicals as contained in naturally occurring glycerides such as coconut oil, tallow, soybean oil, and the like. For example, coconut oil contains a mixture comprising approximately by weight 5% octadecenyl, 5% octadecyl, 8% hexadecyl, 18% tetradecyl, 47% dodecyl, 9% decyl, and 8% octyl radicals; tallow contains a mixture comprising approximately by weight 45% octadecenyl, 30% octadecyl, and 25% hexadecyl radicals; soybean oil contains a mixture comprising approximately by weight 37% octadecadienyl, 26% octadecenyl, 17% octadecyl, and 20% hexadecyl radicals.
Examples of short chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals coming within the definition of R as described hereinabove include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and pentyl radicals.
Examples of preferred mixtures useful in accordance with the present invention include three parts by weight of tallowtrimcthylammonium chloride per part of dibutylthiourea; 3 parts by weight of cocotrimethylammonium chloride per part of dibutylthiourea; 3 parts by weight of dicocodimethylammonium chloride per part of dibutylthiourea; 3 parts by weight of ditallowdimethylammonium chloride per part of dibutylthiourea; and 3 parts by weight of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride per part of dibutylthiourea. These mixtures can be prepared by simple mixing of the ingredients in the proper proportions.
In the practice of the present invention, the mixture of dibutylthiourea and quaternary ammonium compound can be incorporated directly into the aqueous acid solution in a concentration by weight of from about 0.1 to 1.0, preferably about 0.2 to about 0.5 percent, based upon the acid concentration, and the resulting aqueous acid solution used in the conventional manner in pickling and metal cleaning processes. Alternatively, the mixture can be incorporated, at the same concentration level described, into a concentrated acid, which is then diluted before use. There is little or no adverse effect upon the corrosion inhibiting properties of the acid under these circumstances, even after a period of storage.
The following Example will help to illustrate the underlying principles of my invention, and is not to be construed as unduly limiting:
Example I Test cells containing small quantities of dilute acid, both inhibited and uninhibited were prepared. The concentnation of the acid was on a weight basis, and the percent inhibitor used was based on the acid concentration. The acid solutions were pre-heated to the desired temperature and held at i2 F. Clean, weighed mild steel coupons were exposed to the acid for 6 hours. At the end of this period the coupons were washed free of acid and salts, dried, and reweighed. The corrosion rate was calculated in pound per square foot per day. Visual observations were made for discoloration and pitting of the coupons. The results of these tests are set forth in Table I.
