Comparison of the Protection Performance of Calciofon and Rosmarinus Officinalis on Low Carbon Steel Corrosion in Petrochemical Drilling Fluid

Abstract:

Application of sustainable chemical compounds for corrosion protection of carbon steels employed in H₂O formed petrochemical drilling fluid environment (WPDF) is an effective alternative to toxic chemical compounds. The protection performance of calciofon (CF) and rosmarinus officinalis (RS) on low carbon steel (LST) in WPDF was studied with potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopic characterization. Results output depict CF and RS performed adequately at specific inhibitor concentrations with average inhibition performance above 80% for CG and 90% for RS. CG exhibited mixed type inhibition effect compared to RS which exhibited anodic inhibition. The polarization curves obtained in the presence of both compounds showed they induce passivation of LST surface after anodic polarization before breakdown at the transpassive region from the lowest to highest concentration inhibitor concentrations due to their film forming and adsorption characteristics. This observation was corroborated from the protected steel surfaces which contrasts the non-protected control steel specimen which exhibited severe surface deterioration, corrosion pits and numerous furrows.
