- Test 1 is conducted at room temperatures, about F., wherein several coupons of mild steel (S.A.E. 1018) having dimensions of 5 cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm are thoroughly cleaned using a commercially available cleansing powder and rinsed with distilled water and acetone. After the coupons are weighed, they are mounted on brackets and continuously immersed and removed from the corrosion composition, i.e., ordinary tap water, so that the coupons remain immersed in the composition for 60 seconds and then remained out of solution, exposed to air for 60 seconds. This procedure is continued for a definite length of time (in hours) after which the coupons are withdrawn and the corrosion products on the coupons are removed by using a soft brush.
- the corrosion rate of the coupons protected by a corrosion inhibitor can then be compared to the corrosion rate of the unprotected coupons. A decrease in the corrosion rate indicates the effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitor.
- any corrosion rate less than that corrosion rate of the said medium is desired and rates of less than about 2 to 10 m.p.y. are highly desired and substances that give this range or lower are considered excellent. This does not mean, however, that substances having a corrosion rate of more than about 2 to 10 m.p.y. are not valuable; depending upon the particular conditions a compound or composition having a higher corrosion rate may be used, as in an instance where the equipment will be used, only for a short period of time.
- a cooling water system is constructed on a small scale to approximate conditions for Test 2. From a 5- gallon glass tank containing synthetic cooling water, a hose leads into a 6 in. glass jacket which surrounds a mild steel pipe. A hose leads from the jacket into a glass condenser and then back to the tank. Air is added to the system at the condenser in order to match an actual operation in which air is absorbed by the cooling water.
- Synthetic cooling water is prepared to approximate actual cooling water as follows:
- a circulating cooling water system contains a high concentration of inorganic salt or ions much higher than ordinary tap water as can be seen from the formulation for synthetic cooling tower water. Likewise a cooling water system is operated at high temperatures usually 50 C. or higher. Primarily because of these two factors the acceptable corrosion rates in cooling waters is less than about 10 m.p.y. Therefore, corrosion inhibitors having corrosion rates less than about 10 m.p.y. are considered good and commercially acceptable.
- the corrosion inhibiting compositions of this invention can be manufactured via a number of methods which will give good protection against corrosion.
- the SDA either in the form of its acid or salt per se or in combination with the water soluble zinc salt, chromate, dichromate, thiols, 1,2,3-thiazole, silicates, inorganic phosphate, molybdate, tannin, lignin, lignin sulfonate, and calcium and/or magnesium salts, can simply be dissolved by intermixing them into the aqueous corrosive medium. Via another method, they can be dissolved separately in water or another suitable solvent and then intermixed into the aqueous corrosive medium.
- a solution containing the said corrosion inhibitor can be metered into the corrosive medium by a drop feeder.
- Another method is to formulate tablets or briquettes of a solid SDA (and other ingredients) and these can then be added to the corrosive medium.
- the said solid, after briquetting, can be used in a standard ball feeder so that the solid is released slowly into the corrosive medium.
- EXAMPLE 1 Three separate portions consisting each of 600 ml of aqueous corrosive medium are individually treated with the indicated SDA so that it contains separately 5, 50 and 100 parts per million of SDA. (Where the acid form is used, it is converted to the sodium salt by the addition of sufficient NaOH to maintain the medium at pH 9.0 to 9.5.)
- Test 1 as described hereinbefore, is conducted using 1018 S.A.E. mild steel coupons measuring cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm.
- the corrosive medium is a sample of water obtained from the St. Louis County Water Company having a pH from about 9.0 to about 9.5 and a hardness of about 100 to about 110 parts per million as calcium carbonate. Test 1 is conducted according to the procedure hereinbefore outlined for hours. Six hundred ml. of the untreated aqueous corrosive medium is tested as a control. The data are illustrated in Table 1.
- Test 1 is also conducted on a commercially available corrosion inhibitor, containing somezinc (about 1 to about 4% by weight) but mostly tetra sodium pyrophosphate (about 50 to about 60% by weight); these data are shown in Table 1.
- the data in Table 1 show that the SDA are an effective corrosion inhibitor.
- Table 1 shows that these SDA are at least as .good as and in some cases superior to the commercially available zinc tetra sodium pyrophosphate inhibitor.
- substances that reduce the corrosion rates of mild steel to less than about 10 m.p.y. in ordinary tap water are considered excellent. Therefore, it can readily be appreciated that the SDA of the present invention are effective corrosion inhibitors.
- EXAMPLE 11 Test 2 is conducted to determine the effectiveness of the indicated SDA (Example l) as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water.
- Example I solutions are individually added to the five gallon tank containing about 16,000 ml. of synthetic cooling tower water (having a flow rate of 2,750 ml./min.), as set forth above, so that said water contains 5, 50 and 100 parts per million of the SDA.
- the temperature of the synthetic cooling water is 50 C.
- Mild steel coupons (ASTM A-285) measuring 2.5 cm X cm X .6 cm are cleaned with a commercially available cleansing powder and weighed. They are then mounted on brackets in the five gallon tank. After exposure, they are reweighed and their corrosion rates are calculated.
- a blank solution containing no SDA is used as a control to determine the corrosion rates of mild steel coupons in untreated synthetic cooling tower water.
- the data show that the SDA corrosion inhibitors at greater than 50 ppm reduce the corrosion rate to less than m.p.y. (the control corrosion medium is about 24.6 m.p.y.), which is the generally acceptable rate for a corrosion inhibitor.
- a visual inspection of the mild steel pipe through which the steam passes and which is cooled by the synthetic cooling water treated with SDA shows a very minute amount of corrosion, another indication of the effectiveness of the novel compound of the present invention.
- a commercial corrosion inhibitor containing 2 to 4 percent by weight of zinc and 40 to 60 percent by weight of tetra sodium pyrophosphate is used to treat the synthetic cooling water and is tested in the same manner as Example II.
- the corrosion rates of the coupons are more than 10 m.p.y. and a significant amount of corrosion forms on the mild steel pipe through which the steam passes.
- Example III Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that in addition to the SDA (5, 500 and 100 ppm) corrosion inhibitor, there is added sufficient amounts of zinc sulfate in order to provide respectively 5, 50 and 100 ppm of zinc ion in the corrosion medium.
- This corrosion inhibition composition i.e., the indicated SDA plus the zinc sulfate, shows that at all three concentrations (i.e., 5, 50 and 100 ppm of each) the corrosion rates are substantially less than the rates using' the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average 25 percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
- Example IV Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that in addition to the SDA (5, 50 and 100 ppm) corrosion inhibitor, there is added respectively 5, 50 and 100 ppm sodium dichromate to thecorrosion medium.
- This corrosion inhibition composition i.e., the indicated SDA plus the sodium dichromate, shows that at all three concentrations (i.e., 5, 50 and 100 ppm of each), the corrosion rate is less than the rate using the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average about 11 to percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
- EXAMPLEV A series of separate and individual corrosion inhibitors consisting of a mixture of the indicated SDA (60% by weight), zinc sulfate (20 percent by weight) and sodium dichromate (20% by weight) are prepared. Example I (above) is then repeated utilizing the above mixture. The resultant data shows that the corrosion rates using this mixture are substantially less than the rates using the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average about 30 to 40 percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
- EXAMPLE VI The corrosion inhibitors are described in the above Examples 1, III, IV and V are separately and individually tested in boiler water for their separate corrosive inhibiting effect on red brass and mild steel.
- the boiler water contains approximately 30-60 parts per million phosphate and approximately 30-60 parts per million sulfate having a pH of about 14.
- the corrosive tests are carried out at a temperature of 314 C. at 1,500 psig and with a 50 parts per million of the respective corrosion inhibitor.
- approximately 1 liter of boiler blow-down water is charged into a 2 liter bomb and 1 ml. of a stock solution is added to give approximately 50 parts per million of the corrosion inhibitor.
- Duplicate coupons of mild steel and red brass measuring 5 cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm are scrubbed with a commercially available cleansing powder and weighed. The coupons are then mounted 'on insulated brackets so that two coupons are in the liquid phase and two coupons are in the vapor, phase. After sealing the bomb, the cycle of pumping down with a vacuum pump and filling with nitrogen is repeated four times. The time of the tests are taken to be roughly from the time the temperature reached C. after starting to heat till it again reached this temperature after turning off the heat.
- the indicated SDA and zinc compound are added to the aqueous corrosive medium so that 50 partsper million of each is present.

- EXAM PLE XI Ingredients Parts Aqueous corrosive medium 90,000 SDA Compound No. 16 2.3 Zinc sulfate 2.3
- EXAMPLE XV A compressed ball of a standard weight and dimension is prepared containing the following ingredients in the quantities noted.
- Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that copper coupons are used instead of mild steel coupons and sufficient amounts of 1,2,3-benzotriazole to provide 1, 5 and 10 ppm thereof in the corrosive media is used in addition to the SDA.
- Example XVI is repeated again but without the benzotriazole material. The data shows that when copper coupons are used and the corrosive media contains the indicated SDA, the corrosion rates are less than when the corrosion media does not contain said SDA. The data further show that use of the benzotriazole with the SDA further reduces the corrosion rate.

34 Claims, No Drawings CORROSION INHIBITION COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SUBSTITUTED DIAMINE PHOSPHONATES AND PROCESSES FOR USING THE SAME The present invention relates to corrosion inhibiting compositions and to methods of inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces in contact with an aqueous medium of a corrosive nature. More particularly, this invention relates to methods of inhibiting the corrosion of metal surfaces by utilizing in the corrosive aqueous medium certain substituted diamines either alone or in combination with a water-soluble zinc salt, a dichromate, certain thiols, 1,2,3-triazoles, silicates, inorganic phosphates, molybdates, tannins, lignins,, lignin sulfonates, certain calcium and magnesium salts and mixtures thereof.
The present invention has special utility in the prevention of the corrosion of metals which are in contact with circulating water, that is, water which is moving through condensers, engine jackets, cooling towers, evaporators or distribution systems, however, it can be used to prevent the corrosion of metal surfaces in other aqueous corrosive media. This invention is especially valuable in inhibiting the corrosion of ferrous metals including iron and steel (also galvanized steel) and nonferrous metals including copper and its alloys, aluminum and its alloys and brass. These metals are generally used in circulating water systems.
The major corrosive ingredients of aqueous cooling systems are primarily dissolved oxygen and inorganic salts, such as the carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride and/or sulfate salts of calcium, magnesium and/or sodi- It is, therefore, a primary object of this invention to provide new corrosion inhibiting methods.
It is another object of this invention to provide new corrosion inhibiting methods for ferrous metals including iron and steel and non-ferrous metals including copper and brass.
It is another object of this invention to provide new and corrosion inhibiting methods for ferrous metals including iron and steel and non-ferrous metals including copper and brass in contact with an aqueous corrosive medium It is another object of this invention to provide new corrosion inhibiting methods for ferrous metals including iron and steel and non-ferrous metals including copper and brass in contact with cooling waters.
Other advantages and objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following discussion and appended claims.
It has been found that certain substituted diamines corresponding to the following formula unexpectedly function as corrosion inhibitors when used alone or in combination with zinc, dichromate, certain thiols and 1,2,3-triazoles, silicates, inorganic phosphates, molybdates, tannins, lignins, lignin sulfonates, certain calcium and magnesium salts and mixtures thereof in aqueous or water systems containing metals or in contact with metals.
ln Formula I above, R, and R can be alike or unlike and are from the group metal ion or hydrogen or any cation which will yield sufficient solubility for the desired enduse. The aforementioned cations are from the group of metals alkali metals such as sodium, lithium, potassium, alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium, aluminum, zinc, cadmium, manganese, nickel, cobalt, cerium, lead, tin, iron, chromium, and mercury. Also included are amines such as ammonium ions and alkyl ammonium ions. In particular, those alkyl ammonium ions de'rived'from amines having a low molecular weight, such as below about 300, and more particularly the alkyl amines, alkylene amines, and alkanol amines containing not more than two amine groups, such as ethyl amine, diethyl amine, propyl amine, propylene diamine, hexyl amine, 2-ethylhexylamine, N-butylethanol amine, triethanol amine, and the like, are the preferred amines. It is within the scope of the present invention to include amines, such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,613,788 and 3,619,427 (which are incorporated herein by reference), in order to provide the amine saltsof the aforesaid substituted diamines (Formula I). It is to be understood that the preferred metal ions are those which render the compound a water-soluble salt, e.g., sodium, in concentrations sufficient for the desired applications.
In Formula I, it is to be understood that this includes salts, partial salts, acid and partial acids.
In Formula I above, R and R are alike or unlike and are each independently an alkylene group containing from two to five, preferably two to three carbon atoms. Examples of such alkylene groups include, without limitation, ethylene, propylene, butylene and the like.
In Formula I, and partial Formula II above, X and Y are each alike or unlike and are from the group hydrogen and organic radicals such as alkyl containing less than 40, preferably one to four, carbon atoms. It is to be understood that organic radicals such as other aliphatic groups and also aromatic groups are included herein. X and Y are preferably hydrogen.
In Formula I, Z is a hydrocarbon group containing from two to l5 carbon atoms and includes (a) normal or straight chain carbon groups, e.g., (CH to (CI-I (b) branched chain carbon groups, e.g., CH,CH,CH and (c) cyclic carbon groups, e.g.,
In Formula I, n has a value of from 0 through 10 (preferably 0 3). It is to be understood that all of the compounds falling within the above Formula I and as heretofore defined are generically described herein as substituted diamines or SDA. In other words, then, the acids, salts and physical and chemical mixtures thereof are all generically described herein as substituted diamines or so/a."

No. 254,247 filed May 17, 1972 and filed concurrently herewith and which is incorporated herein by reference.
It has been found that to effectively inhibit corrosion, at least 3 parts per million, preferably from about 10 parts per million (ppm) to about 500 parts per million, more preferably from about 10 parts per million to about 150 parts per million, of the SDA should be utilized in the corrosive medium. It is to be understood that greater than 500 ppm of SDA can be utilized where one so desires as long as the desired end result is substantially achieved or these higher amounts are not detrimental to the water system. Amounts as low as 1 ppm are found to be effective.
The SDA corrosion inhibitors of the present invention are effective in both an acidic or basic corrosive media. The pH can range from about 4 to about 12. For example, compound No. l, heretofore set forth, when used in amounts from about 3 parts per million to about 100 parts per million is an effective corrosion inhibitor in a corrosive medium where the pH is from about 4 to about l2.
In conjunction with the utilization of the SDA per se as corrosion inhibitors, it has also been found that there exists a cooperative effect on corrosion inhibition between the SDA and the zinc ion; that is, the use of the SDA with the zinc ion more effectively inhibits corrosion than does an equal concentration of the SDA or the zinc ion alone. (The zinc ion is used in the same concentration as the SDA, e.g., a suitable corrosion inhibitor may consist of 50 ppm of zinc ion plus 50 ppm of said SDA.) It is to be understood, then, that the present invention also encompasses a corrosion inhibition compositions containing a mixture of the SDA and a zinc-containing material (i.e., a water-soluble zinc salt) which is capable of forming the zinc ion in an aqueous solution.
Illustrative examples of the zinc-containing material (water-soluble zinc salt) which are set forth for exemplary purposes only and hence non-restrictive, include zinc acetate, zinc bromate, zinc benzoate, zinc borate, zinc bromide, zinc butyrate, zinc caproate, zinc carbonate, zinc chlorate, zinc chloride, zinc citrate, zinc fluoride, zinc fluosilicate, zinc formate, zinc hydroxide, zinc d-lactate, zinc laurate, zinc permanganage, zinc nitrate, zinc hypophosphite, zinc salicylate, zinc sulfate and zinc sulfite. The preferred water-soluble zinc salt is zinc sulfate. It is to be understood that it is within the scope of the present invention that the zinc ion can be supplied in part or wholly by using the zinc salt of the acid form of the SDA.
The SDA and the zinc containing material, which is, in essence, a water-soluble zinc salt, may be mixed as a dry composition and can be fed into a water system containing the metals heretofore described to be protected. Such a composition having a maximum cooperative effect between the SDA and the zinc ion containing material comprises from about l0 percent to about percent by weight of the water-soluble zinc salt and from about 20 percent to about percent by weight of the SDA, all weights being predicated upon the total weight of the mixture. Preferably the weight of the composition comprises from about 20 percent to about 60 percent by weight of the water-soluble zinc salt and from about 40 percent to about 80 percent by weight of the SDA.
a combination of about 3 to ppm A combination the SDA and about 2 to about 100 ppm zinc ion will inhibit corrosion in most water systems; the most preferred concentration range is about 5 to 25 ppm SDA and about 5 to 25 ppm zinc ion. It is to be understood, however, that those concentrations are not in any manner meant to limit the scope of the present invention.
It has also been found that a cooperative effect exists between the SDA and chromate or dichromate. Because chromate and dichromate are each readily converted into the other by a change in pH, it is understood that both will be simultaneously present at most pHs, even though only one is mentioned.
Corrosion in most water systems may be inhibited by adding from about 1 to about 100 ppm of SDA and from about 1 to about 100 ppm of the chromate or dichromate; preferably from about 5 to 25 ppm SDA and from about 5 to 25 ppm chromate or dichromate is added. It is to be understood that larger amounts or smaller amounts of each material can be utilized if one so desires.
Suitable chromates for use in the composition and process of this invention include, for exemplary purposes only, sodium dichromate dihydrate, anhydrous sodium chromate, sodium chromate tetrahydrate, sodium chromate hexahydrate, sodium chromate decahydrate, potassium dichromate, potassium chromate, ammonium dichromate, and chromic acid. In other words, the chromium compound used is any water-soluble hexavalent compound of chromium and is preferably an alkali metal chromate or dichromate heretofore described.
In most cases, an effective corrosion inhibition composition contains a mixture of from about 1 percent to about 60 percent and preferably from about percent to about 40 percent, of the water-soluble inorganic chromate, based on the combined weight of the chromate and SDA. The use of chromates per se is further described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,431,217 and the publications cited in this patent, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
It has also been found that compositions of the SDA, zinc ion, and chromate or dichromate are useful in inhibiting the corrosion of metals. The inhibiting action of zinc (supplied in the form of a water-soluble zinc salt heretofore mentioned) and dichromate compositions has been shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,022,133, which is incorporated herein by reference. Thus, all three components of this composition are cooperatively effective. The coaction of zinc and dichromate illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,022,133 remains unaffected in the presence of the SDA and the other ingredients of the inhibitor compositions mentioned herein. In other words, then, it is within the scope of the present invention to provide a corrosion inhibiting composition containing the SDA, a water-soluble zinc salt and a chromate and/or dichromate.
Especially useful combinations of SDA, chromate and zinc exist in the range of from about 1 to about 100 ppm of SDA, from about as to about 50 ppm of the chromate or dichromate, and from about '75 to 50 ppm of the zinc ion. The preferred range is from about 2 to 30 ppm SDA, and from about 1 to ppm chromate or dichromate, and from about l to about 15 ppm zinc Where the water systems are in contact with various metals such as steel, copper per se or copper-containing metals, it is desirable to use, along with the SDA (either alone or in combination with the zinc ion and/or dichromate or chromate), a 1,2,3-thiozole or a thiol of a thiazole, an oxazole, or an imidazole as described respectively in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,941,953; 2,742,369; and 3,483,133; all of which patents are incorporated herein by reference. These azoles are referred to herein as thiols and 1,2,3-thiazoles. These thiols and 1,2,3- thiazoles are found effective in inhibiting the attack of the SDA on copper.
The preferred 1,2,3-triazole is 1,2,3-benzotriazole of the formula The preferred thiols of a thiazole, an oxazole, or an imidazole are Z-mercaptothioazole Z-mercaptobenzothiazole and Z-mercaptobenzimidazole Theamounts of thiol or 1,2,3-thiazole used will depend upon the particular water system. Where the water system containing copper is an open or once through system from about 3 to about 100 ppm SDA, about 0.05 to 5 ppm thiol or 1,2,3-triazole, and up to about 100 ppm zinc ion are generally satisfactory concentrations; preferably the concentrations are about 5 to 25 ppm SDA, about 0.5 to 2 ppm triazole or thiol, and about 5 to 25 ppm zinc ion.
A dry composition may be made which may be fed into the water system containing copper. Such a composition would consist of about 20% to by weight, based on the total weight of said composition, SDA; about 1% to 10% by weight thiol or 1,2,3-triazole, and up to about 79% by weight soluble zinc salt; preferably, it would consist of about 38% to 90% by weight SDA, about 2% to 10% by weight thiol or 1,2,3-triazole, and up to about 60% by weight soluble zinc salt.
It is within the scope of the present invention that the corrosion inhibitors (SDA) of this invention may be used in conjunction with other materials (water treating chemicals); in some instances, there can be a cooperative effect therebetween.

In conjunction with the Examples hereinafter set forth, two tests are conducted to determine the effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitors of the present invention in different corrosive media, i.e., ordinary tap water and synthetic cooling tower water.
Test 1 is conducted at room temperatures, about F., wherein several coupons of mild steel (S.A.E. 1018) having dimensions of 5 cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm are thoroughly cleaned using a commercially available cleansing powder and rinsed with distilled water and acetone. After the coupons are weighed, they are mounted on brackets and continuously immersed and removed from the corrosion composition, i.e., ordinary tap water, so that the coupons remain immersed in the composition for 60 seconds and then remained out of solution, exposed to air for 60 seconds. This procedure is continued for a definite length of time (in hours) after which the coupons are withdrawn and the corrosion products on the coupons are removed by using a soft brush.
The coupons are rinsed with distilled water and acetone and then reweighed. The loss in weight (in milligrams) is then appropriately inserted into the equation:
KW/DAT Corrosion in mills per year wherein W weight loss during tests in milligrams;
D specific gravity of the metal;
A exposed surface area in square cm; and
T time of exposure to solution in hours K 3 ,402 in order to determine the corrosion that has taken place expressed in terms of mills of penetration per year (m.p.y.). The corrosion rate of the coupons protected by a corrosion inhibitor can then be compared to the corrosion rate of the unprotected coupons. A decrease in the corrosion rate indicates the effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitor.
In tests of this nature where the aqueous corrosive medium is ordinary tap water at room temperature, any corrosion rate less than that corrosion rate of the said medium is desired and rates of less than about 2 to 10 m.p.y. are highly desired and substances that give this range or lower are considered excellent. This does not mean, however, that substances having a corrosion rate of more than about 2 to 10 m.p.y. are not valuable; depending upon the particular conditions a compound or composition having a higher corrosion rate may be used, as in an instance where the equipment will be used, only for a short period of time.
A cooling water system is constructed on a small scale to approximate conditions for Test 2. From a 5- gallon glass tank containing synthetic cooling water, a hose leads into a 6 in. glass jacket which surrounds a mild steel pipe. A hose leads from the jacket into a glass condenser and then back to the tank. Air is added to the system at the condenser in order to match an actual operation in which air is absorbed by the cooling water.
Steam is passed through the steel pipe which is enclosed by the glassjacket.
Four mild steel coupons are weighed and then mounted in the tank. After exposure the steel pipe is checked visibly for signs of corrosion and the corrosion rate of the coupons is calculated. Synthetic cooling water is prepared to approximate actual cooling water as follows:
Ca 200 ppm y+ 55 ppm Na 320 ppm 1- 600 ppm S 500 ppm Hco; 58 p Total Dissolved Solids of Distilled Water 1,733 ppm A circulating cooling water system contains a high concentration of inorganic salt or ions much higher than ordinary tap water as can be seen from the formulation for synthetic cooling tower water. Likewise a cooling water system is operated at high temperatures usually 50 C. or higher. Primarily because of these two factors the acceptable corrosion rates in cooling waters is less than about 10 m.p.y. Therefore, corrosion inhibitors having corrosion rates less than about 10 m.p.y. are considered good and commercially acceptable.
The corrosion inhibiting compositions of this invention can be manufactured via a number of methods which will give good protection against corrosion. For
example, the SDA either in the form of its acid or salt per se or in combination with the water soluble zinc salt, chromate, dichromate, thiols, 1,2,3-thiazole, silicates, inorganic phosphate, molybdate, tannin, lignin, lignin sulfonate, and calcium and/or magnesium salts, can simply be dissolved by intermixing them into the aqueous corrosive medium. Via another method, they can be dissolved separately in water or another suitable solvent and then intermixed into the aqueous corrosive medium.
Various means are available to insure that the correct proportion of corrosion inhibitor is present in the corrosive medium. For example, a solution containing the said corrosion inhibitor can be metered into the corrosive medium by a drop feeder. Another method is to formulate tablets or briquettes of a solid SDA (and other ingredients) and these can then be added to the corrosive medium. The said solid, after briquetting, can be used in a standard ball feeder so that the solid is released slowly into the corrosive medium.
The invention will be further illustrated but is not limited by the following examples:
EXAMPLE 1 Three separate portions consisting each of 600 ml of aqueous corrosive medium are individually treated with the indicated SDA so that it contains separately 5, 50 and 100 parts per million of SDA. (Where the acid form is used, it is converted to the sodium salt by the addition of sufficient NaOH to maintain the medium at pH 9.0 to 9.5.) Test 1, as described hereinbefore, is conducted using 1018 S.A.E. mild steel coupons measuring cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm. The corrosive medium is a sample of water obtained from the St. Louis County Water Company having a pH from about 9.0 to about 9.5 and a hardness of about 100 to about 110 parts per million as calcium carbonate. Test 1 is conducted according to the procedure hereinbefore outlined for hours. Six hundred ml. of the untreated aqueous corrosive medium is tested as a control. The data are illustrated in Table 1.
Test 1 is also conducted on a commercially available corrosion inhibitor, containing somezinc (about 1 to about 4% by weight) but mostly tetra sodium pyrophosphate (about 50 to about 60% by weight); these data are shown in Table 1.

The data in Table 1 show that the SDA are an effective corrosion inhibitor. Table 1 shows that these SDA are at least as .good as and in some cases superior to the commercially available zinc tetra sodium pyrophosphate inhibitor. As pointed out before, substances that reduce the corrosion rates of mild steel to less than about 10 m.p.y. in ordinary tap water are considered excellent. Therefore, it can readily be appreciated that the SDA of the present invention are effective corrosion inhibitors.
EXAMPLE 11 Test 2, as described hereinbefore, is conducted to determine the effectiveness of the indicated SDA (Example l) as a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water. Example I solutions are individually added to the five gallon tank containing about 16,000 ml. of synthetic cooling tower water (having a flow rate of 2,750 ml./min.), as set forth above, so that said water contains 5, 50 and 100 parts per million of the SDA. The temperature of the synthetic cooling water is 50 C. Mild steel coupons (ASTM A-285) measuring 2.5 cm X cm X .6 cm are cleaned with a commercially available cleansing powder and weighed. They are then mounted on brackets in the five gallon tank. After exposure, they are reweighed and their corrosion rates are calculated.
A blank solution containing no SDA is used as a control to determine the corrosion rates of mild steel coupons in untreated synthetic cooling tower water. i
The data show that the SDA corrosion inhibitors at greater than 50 ppm reduce the corrosion rate to less than m.p.y. (the control corrosion medium is about 24.6 m.p.y.), which is the generally acceptable rate for a corrosion inhibitor.
A visual inspection of the mild steel pipe through which the steam passes and which is cooled by the synthetic cooling water treated with SDA shows a very minute amount of corrosion, another indication of the effectiveness of the novel compound of the present invention.
A commercial corrosion inhibitor containing 2 to 4 percent by weight of zinc and 40 to 60 percent by weight of tetra sodium pyrophosphate, is used to treat the synthetic cooling water and is tested in the same manner as Example II. The corrosion rates of the coupons are more than 10 m.p.y. and a significant amount of corrosion forms on the mild steel pipe through which the steam passes.
It can readily be appreciated that these SDA are good corrosion inhibitors when used in cooling waters and especially when used in heat-exchanging systems.
EXAMPLE III Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that in addition to the SDA (5, 500 and 100 ppm) corrosion inhibitor, there is added sufficient amounts of zinc sulfate in order to provide respectively 5, 50 and 100 ppm of zinc ion in the corrosion medium. This corrosion inhibition composition, i.e., the indicated SDA plus the zinc sulfate, shows that at all three concentrations (i.e., 5, 50 and 100 ppm of each) the corrosion rates are substantially less than the rates using' the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average 25 percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
EXAMPLE IV Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that in addition to the SDA (5, 50 and 100 ppm) corrosion inhibitor, there is added respectively 5, 50 and 100 ppm sodium dichromate to thecorrosion medium.'This corrosion inhibition composition, i.e., the indicated SDA plus the sodium dichromate, shows that at all three concentrations (i.e., 5, 50 and 100 ppm of each), the corrosion rate is less than the rate using the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average about 11 to percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
EXAMPLEV A series of separate and individual corrosion inhibitors consisting of a mixture of the indicated SDA (60% by weight), zinc sulfate (20 percent by weight) and sodium dichromate (20% by weight) are prepared. Example I (above) is then repeated utilizing the above mixture. The resultant data shows that the corrosion rates using this mixture are substantially less than the rates using the corrosion medium without this mixture and is on the average about 30 to 40 percent less than those rates obtained using only the SDA per se.
EXAMPLE VI The corrosion inhibitors are described in the above Examples 1, III, IV and V are separately and individually tested in boiler water for their separate corrosive inhibiting effect on red brass and mild steel. The boiler water contains approximately 30-60 parts per million phosphate and approximately 30-60 parts per million sulfate having a pH of about 14. The corrosive tests are carried out at a temperature of 314 C. at 1,500 psig and with a 50 parts per million of the respective corrosion inhibitor. In each test, approximately 1 liter of boiler blow-down water is charged into a 2 liter bomb and 1 ml. of a stock solution is added to give approximately 50 parts per million of the corrosion inhibitor. Duplicate coupons of mild steel and red brass measuring 5 cm X 3.5 cm X 0.32 cm are scrubbed with a commercially available cleansing powder and weighed. The coupons are then mounted 'on insulated brackets so that two coupons are in the liquid phase and two coupons are in the vapor, phase. After sealing the bomb, the cycle of pumping down with a vacuum pump and filling with nitrogen is repeated four times. The time of the tests are taken to be roughly from the time the temperature reached C. after starting to heat till it again reached this temperature after turning off the heat.
The results of these tests show that at temperatures above 300 C. the respective corrosion inhibitors significantly reduces the corrosion rates of both .red brass and mild steel either completely immersed in the cooling waters or in contact with the vapors of acooling water system containing the complex. Italso demonstrates the stability of the corrosion inhibitors of the present invention at elevated temperatures, over 300 C., for extended periods of time.
In each of the following examples, the indicated SDA and zinc compound are added to the aqueous corrosive medium so that 50 partsper million of each is present.

EXAMPLE XVI Example I (above) is repeated with the exception that copper coupons are used instead of mild steel coupons and sufficient amounts of 1,2,3-benzotriazole to provide 1, 5 and 10 ppm thereof in the corrosive media is used in addition to the SDA. Example XVI is repeated again but without the benzotriazole material. The data shows that when copper coupons are used and the corrosive media contains the indicated SDA, the corrosion rates are less than when the corrosion media does not contain said SDA. The data further show that use of the benzotriazole with the SDA further reduces the corrosion rate.
It is also within the scope of the present invention to utilize silicates, particularly inorganic silicates, in combination with the SDA. It is known that silicates are effective corrosion inhibitors as exemplified by Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology," Kirk-Othmer, 1961 by The Interscience Encyclopedia, Inc. New York Volume 4, pages 487-529, and Volume 12, pages 268-360; this subject matter is to be considered as incorporated herein by reference. (These silicates can be used in the same concentration as the watersoluble zinc salts heretofore mentioned.)
It is found in the repeat of the above Example I that the use of a combination of the indicated SDA and a liquid (sodium) silicate (having a 3.22:l ratio of SiO, to soda) effected a lower corrosion rate than either the SDA per se or the silicate per se when used separately.
Thus, it may be seen that this invention relates to the indicated SDA falling within Formula I above as corrosion inhibitors. We do not intend to be limited to any compounds, composition, or methods disclosed herein for illustrative purposes. Our invention may be otherwise practiced and embodied within the scope of the following claims.
