Abstract

1. The use of the alkali or ammonium salts of compounds corresponding to the following formula see diagramm : EP0142627,P4,F3 in which R1 is a C1 -C6 alkyl radical and R2 is a methyl radical or a hydrogen atom, as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems.

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung von speziellen Sulfonamidderivaten als Korrosionsinhibitoren in wäßrigen Systemen. Der Korrosionsschutz in wäßrigen Systemen ist ein wesentliches Problem bei technischen Prozessen. Die Verwendung von Korrosionsinhibitoren ist dabei mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden. Es ist beispielsweise die Schaumbildung unerwünscht. Die Wasserlöslichkeit oder auch die Wasserhärteempfindlichkeit ist für die Brauchbarkeit der Mittel von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Weiterhin spielt die Toxizität und die Abbaubarkeit der Substanzen sowie ihre Lagerstabilität eine erhebliche Rolle.The invention relates to the use of special sulfonamide derivatives as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems. Corrosion protection in aqueous systems is a major problem in technical processes. The use of corrosion inhibitors is associated with considerable difficulties. Foam formation, for example, is undesirable. The water solubility or the water hardness sensitivity is essential for the usability of the agents. The toxicity and degradability of the substances and their storage stability also play a significant role.

In letzter Zeit sind als Korrosionsinhibitoren Verbindungen wie Halbamide der Maleinsäure oder Alkenylbernsteinsäure sowie Arylsulfonamidocarbonsäuren mit mehr als 3 Kohlenstoffatomen im Carbonsäurerest vorgeschlagen worden. Diese Inhibitoren zeigen jedoch nur bei hohen Konzentrationen einen guten Korrosionsschutz und werden häufig den oben genannten anwendungstechnischen Erfordernissen nicht gerecht.Recently, compounds such as half-amides of maleic acid or alkenylsuccinic acid and arylsulfonamidocarboxylic acids with more than 3 carbon atoms in the carboxylic acid residue have been proposed as corrosion inhibitors. However, these inhibitors show good corrosion protection only at high concentrations and often do not meet the above-mentioned application requirements.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man überraschenderweise zu ausgezeichneten Ergebnissen gelangt, wenn man als Korrosionsinhibitoren in wäßrigen Systemen Alkali- beziehungsweise Ammoniumsalze von Verbindungen der Formel

Figure imgb0001
wobei R1 einen Alkylrest mit 1 bis 6 C-Atomen und R2 einen Methylrest oder ein Wasserstoffatom bedeuten, verwendet.It has now been found that, surprisingly, excellent results are obtained if alkali metal or ammonium salts of compounds of the formula are used as corrosion inhibitors in aqueous systems
Figure imgb0001
where R 1 is an alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R 2 is a methyl radical or a hydrogen atom.

Insbesondere sind solche Verbindungen geeignet, bei denen in der oben angeführten Formel R1 einen Hexylrest und R2 ein Wasserstoffatom bedeuten.Compounds are particularly suitable in which, in the formula given above, R 1 denotes a hexyl radical and R 2 denotes a hydrogen atom.

Es wurde weiterhin gefunden, daß neben Alkalisalzen, wie Natrium- oder Kaliumsalze, vorzugsweise Ammoniumsalze mit organischen Basen, wie Ammoniak, Mono-, Di- oder Trialkanolamine geeignet sind.It has also been found that, in addition to alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts, preferably ammonium salts with organic bases, such as ammonia, mono-, di- or trialkanolamines, are suitable.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Korrosionsschutzmittel können einzeln oder im Gemisch in wäßrigen Lösungen, Dispersionen oder Emulsionen verwendet werden. Sie zeigen bereits bei geringen Konzentrationen eine hohe Wirksamkeit. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß teilweise bei 0,05 Gewichtsprozent noch eine ausreichende Wirkung erzielt wird. Die zur Anwendung gelangenden Mittel besitzen eine ausgeprägte Schaumarmut und haben eine gute Wasserhärtestabilität.The anti-corrosion agents according to the invention can be used individually or as a mixture in aqueous solutions, dispersions or emulsions. They are highly effective even at low concentrations. It has been shown that a sufficient effect is sometimes achieved at 0.05 percent by weight. The agents used have a pronounced low foam and have good water hardness stability.

Die Herstellung der Para-alkyl-aryl-sulfonamidoessigsäuren und deren wasserlösliche Salze erfolgt nach an sich bekannten Methoden und ist nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung.The para-alkyl-aryl-sulfonamidoacetic acids and their water-soluble salts are prepared by methods known per se and are not the subject of the invention.

Der Anmeldungsgegenstand wird noch durch die nachstehenden Beispiele erläutert, ohne daß er hierauf beschränkt ist.The subject of the application is illustrated by the examples below, without being limited thereto.

Die Bestimmung der Korrosionsschutzeigenschaften erfolgte durch Ermittlung des Massenabtrags.The corrosion protection properties were determined by determining the mass removal.

Beispiel 1 MassenabtragstestExample 1 Mass removal test

Je drei sorgfältig vorbehandelte und gewogene Teststreifen (unlegierter Stahl, 80 x 15 x 1 mm) wurden in ein 1-1-Gefäß, das 800 ml Testwasser, 50 ml Pufferlösung sowie eine definierte Menge an zu untersuchender Substanz enthält, gehängt und 3 Stunden bei Raumtemperatur und 80 Umdrehungen pro Minute darin belassen.Three carefully pretreated and weighed test strips (unalloyed steel, 80 x 15 x 1 mm) were hung in a 1 l vessel containing 800 ml test water, 50 ml buffer solution and a defined amount of the substance to be examined, and added for 3 hours Leave room temperature and 80 revolutions per minute in it.

Aus dem Gewichtsverlust wurde der Korrosionsschutzwert S, bezogen auf eine Blindprobe, berechnet.

  • S = 100 (1 - a b) a = Gewichtsverlust Probe
  • b = Gewichtsverlust Blindwert
The corrosion protection value S, based on a blank sample, was calculated from the weight loss.
  • S = 100 (1 - ab) a = weight loss sample
  • b = blank weight loss

Das als korrosives Medium benutzte Versuchswasser wurde nach DIN 51360/2 hergestellt und mit Ammoniak/Ammoniumchlorid auf pH 9 gepuffert.The test water used as a corrosive medium was prepared according to DIN 51360/2 and buffered to pH 9 with ammonia / ammonium chloride.

In den nachstehenden Tabellen 2 bis 4 sind die Ergebnisse angegeben, die im Vergleich mit Benzolsulfonamidocapronsäure in Form des Diethanolaminsalzes erhalten wurden. Aus Tabelle 1 ist ersichtlich, um welche Verbindungen es sich bei den mit A bis M bezeichneten Produkten handelt. Die Angaben R1 und R2 beziehen sich dabei auf die Formel. Die Tabelle 4 enthält im übrigen Gemische von mehreren Verbindungen der beanspruchten Art.
