Abstract
The kinetics of the inhibition of carbon dioxide (CO₂) corrosion on high purity iron (Fe) electrodes by cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were investigated in order to elucidate the mechanism of inhibition. The test condition was: 25 °C, 3 wt.% NaCl brine, pH 4, 1 bar CO₂ partial pressure. The inhibition process was studied by electrochemical methods and by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The inhibition was found to be a combination of two processes: first a rapid process (order of minutes) connected to diffusion limited adsorption of the inhibitor, leading to the inhibition of the anodic part reaction, and a second slower process (order of hours) leading to a reduction in the corrosion rate through the inhibition of the cathodic part reaction(s).
