Abstract:

The surface activity of a quaternary ammonium surfactant (MTOTB) in 1 mol/L HCl solution was investigated by surface tension method. The corrosion inhibition performance of MTOTB and 2-mercapto-5-methyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole (MMTD) for Q235 carbon steel in 1 mol/L HCl solution was analyzed by electrochemical test, weight loss and surface morphology analysis. The results show that, the critical micelle concentration is 0.36 mmol/L for MTOTB in 1 mol/L HCl solution. The corrosion inhibition rate can reach 95.34% for the carbon steel soaked in 1 mol/L HCl solution for 48 h when adding 0.5 mmol/L MTOTB, while for MMTD it is 78.34% under the same condition, suggesting that MTOTB owns better corrosion inhibition performance than MMTD. The results of SEM-EDS show that MTOTB can adsorb on the surface of carbon steel and effectively inhibit the corrosion of carbon steel sheet.

Key words: thiadiazole, quaternary ammonium surfactant, surface activity, Q235 carbon steel, corrosion inhibition performance
