Definitions
- the instant invention relates to a method for inhibiting the corrosion of metallic surfaces in contact with aqueous systems and to compositions for use in such a method, particularly where the water of the aqueous system is oxygen-bearing. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of compositions comprising a molybdate ion source, a water soluble polymer containing a sulphonic acid and a carboxylic acid moiety or salt thereof and a polyphosphoric acid or ester of polyphosphoric acid, to inhibit the corrosion of metallic surfaces of water-carrying systems.
- aqueous system as used herein, is intended to describe any system which contains water in any physical state, including water which contains one or more dissolved or dispersed substances such as inorganic salts.
- metal as used herein, is intended to include ferrous and ferrous-containing materials.
- the corrosion of a metallic surface in an aqueous system consists of the destruction of the ferrous metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction of the metal with its immediate environment.
- the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water of an aqueous system is primarily the result of contact between the water and the atmosphere.
- the oxygen solubility in water is primarily temperature dependent, with increases in temperature lowering oxygen solubility.
- Corrosion produced by the presence of oxygen in the water of an aqueous system can take place in the form of small pits or depressions and/or in the form of general metal loss.
- pits or depressions generally increase in depth. The corrosive attack is more severe when it causes pits or depressions, since the deeper penetration of the metal causes more rapid failure at these points.
- compositions have been employed in the art for the purpose of inhibiting corrosion of surfaces in water-carrying systems where the cause of corrosion is dissolved oxygen.
- Polyphosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate are widely used in the treatment of once-thru systems. See U.S. Patent No. 2,742,369.
- Silicates for example sodium silicate, have also found acceptance.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,483,133 discloses a corrosion inhibiting composition comprising amino-tris(methylene phosphonic) acid compounds in combination with water soluble zinc salts.

- U.S. Patent 4,618,448 discloses the use of carboxylic/sulphonic/polyalkylene oxide polymers for use as scale and corrosion inhibitors.
- the method of the instant invention for inhibiting corrosion in an aqueous system comprises the step of treating an aqueous system with an effective amount of a composition comprising a molybdate ion source, a water-soluble polymer containing sulphonic acid and carboxylic acid moieties, or a salt thereof, and polyphosphoric acid or an ester of polyphosphoric acid.
- the corrosion inhibiting compositions of this invention may optionally contain other known corrosion inhibitors, such as triazoles.
- a triazole such as tolyltriazole, makes the instant compositions excellent copper and copper alloy corrosion inhibitors.
- the instant invention also concerns the novel compositions used in the method of the present invention for inhibiting corrosion.
- the instant compositions are especially effective over a pH range of from about 6.5 to about 8.2, preferably about 7.0 to about 8.0, and these compositions are effective in waters of various hardness. At pH's above about 8.2, use of the instant compositions generally becomes unfeasible due to calcium carbonate and/or calcium phosphate scaling.
- molybdate ions can be used.
- the preferred sources are water soluble molybdate salts, and the most preferred molybdate salts are magnesium molybdate, ammonium molybdate and alkali metal molybdates such as lithium molybdate, sodium molybdate and potassium molybdate.
- the carboxylic/sulfonic polymer of the instant invention may be any water soluble polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 25,000, as determined by low angle light scattering, comprising:
- Water soluble salts of these polymers may also be used.
- these polymers include TRC-233, available from Calgon Corporation, and Acrysol QR-1086, available from Rohm and Haas.
- non-ionic monomers such as acrylamide, methacrylamide and acrylonitrile may be present in the polymers.
- the preferred carboxylic/sulfonic polymers of the instant invention are prepared by polymerizing 50-95%, by weight, of the unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid and 5-50%, by weight, of the unsaturated sulfonic acid.
- the most preferred carboxylic acid is acrylic acid and the most preferred sulfonic acid is 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropylsulfonic acid.
- polymers may be prepared by mixing the monomers in the presence of a free radical initiator, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,928,196 and 4,640,793, which are hereby incorporated into this specification by reference.
- a free radical initiator as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,928,196 and 4,640,793, which are hereby incorporated into this specification by reference.
- any free radical initiator may be used.
- preferred initiators include peroxides, azo initiators and redox systems.
- the polymerization may also be initiated photochemically.
- the preferred catalysts are sodium persulfate and sodium metabisulfite.
- the preferred polyphosphoric acid of the instant invention is an equilibrium mixture of orthophosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid and higher linear polyphosphoric acid which is commercially available from FMC Corporation.
- Polyphosphoric acid esters may also be used as component (c).
- the preferred esters are esters of polyhydroxy alcohols, such as glycol esters and esters of pentaerythritol. Such esters are available from Calgon Corporation as Conductor 5712.
- compositions comprise about 1 to about 20%, on an active weight basis, of (A), about 2 to about 25% of (B) and about 5% to about 40% (C), with the balance being water.
- (A) is about 3 to about 12%
- (B) is about 8 to about 15%
- (C) is about 8% to about 20% of the composition, all on an active weight basis.
- an effective amount of the instant compositions should be used.
- the term "effective amount” refers to that amount which inhibits or prevents the corrosion of metallic surfaces in contact with the aqueous system being treated.
- the instant compositions should be added at a dosage of from about 0.1 to about 200 ppm, on an active weight basis, based on the total weight of the water in the aqueous system being treated.
- Components (A), (B) and (C) can be added separately or in combination, which ever is most convenient.
- compositions are effective in preventing mild steel corrosion, and also inhibit aluminum corrosion. These compositions are especially effective where excessive phosphate levels or zinc are undesirable.
- the instant method is effective at pH's ranging from about 6.5 to about 8.2, preferably from about 7.0 to about 8.0. Also, the instant method is effective at various levels of hardness. For example, effective corrosion inhibition was maintained systems containing from about 50 to about 500 mg/L of total hardness, measured as CaCO s . It is desirable to maintain at least about 2-5 mg/L, preferably 10 mg/L, calcium so that an effective inhibitor film is established.
- Corrosion studies were initiated by precleaning 1 "x2" carbon steel coupons with xylene, Calclean, (an alkaline silicate phosphate cleaner available from Calgon Corporation), water and acetone, respectively in an ultrasonic bath, then drying them with house air.
- the coupons were weighed and then hung in eight liter test solutions which were adjusted to and maintained at pH 7.0 or 8.0, heated to and maintained at 50 C, circulated and aerated. Three test solutions of varying hardness were used.
- Soft water was prepared by adding 1.40L of 4X Pittsburgh water to 6.60L of deionized water.
- 4X Pittsburgh water is a solution of 50.2 mg/L MgCl 2 6H 2 0, 43.2 mg/L Na 2 SO 4 , 13.8 mg/L NaHCO 3 and 379.5 mg/L CaS0 4 2H 2 0.
- Moderately hard water was prepared by adding 7.30L of 4X Pittsburgh-water to 0.70 L of deionized water.
- Hard water was prepared by adding 43.26 grams of 50.0 g/L CaCL 2 2H 2 0 to 8.0 L of 4X Pittsburgh water. The ions in the waters tested are summarized below.
- Inhibitor stock solutions were made up at an active concentration of 8.0 g/L and were added individually to the various test solutions before coupon immersion.
- the source in all tests was Na2Mo0 4 2H 2 0.
- 15 mLs of an 8.0 g/L active solution of an acrylic acid/acrylamidosulfonic acid/polyalkylene oxide inhibitor was added to each test solution, in addition to the inhibitor stock solution, to prevent Ca +2 / and/or Ca +2 / precipitation.
- Various inhibitors were tested, including:
- Inhibited acid contains 50.0 g SnC1 2 and 20.0 g Sb 2 0 3 per liter of 1:1 HCI. Coupons were then dried using house air and reweighed. From the coupon weight losses, the corrosion rates in mpy were calculated.
