Abstract
Corrosion of metallic surfaces by aqueous alkanolamine solutions employed in acid gas removal service can be inhibited by combinations of antimony and vanadium compounds, stannous salts, organo-tin compounds, nitro aromatic acids and their salts or benzotriazole.
Claims13
A corrosion inhibited composition consisting essentially of an aqueous alkanolamine solution employed in acid gas removal service and an inhibiting amount of a stannous salt or mixtures thereof, said inhibiting amount being about 0.01 to about 2.0 percent based upon the weight of said aqueous alkanolamine solution.
Method for inhibiting corrosion of metallic surfaces by an aqueous alkanolamine solution employed in acid gas removal service comprising adding to said aqueous alkanolamine solution an inhibiting amount of a stannous salt or mixtures thereof, said inhibiting amount being about 0.01 to about 2.0 percent based upon the weight of said aqueous alkanolamine solution.
