Comparative Study of Corrosion Inhibition In Carbon Steel Using Non Ionic Surfactants In Acidic Medium
Abstract: The use of surfactants is one of the numerous ways of protecting a metallic surface from electrochemical oxidation or corrosion. The amphiphilic nature of these surfactants leads to the formation of a protective layer on the metallic surface, effectively minimizing the area of contact between the fluids and the metal, thus inhibiting corrosion. Cationic surfactant like CTAB (Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) has been most commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor, but since …

Inhibitors Used to Control Corrosion of Mild Steel in Crude Oil Recovery
Abstract: Industries first select construction materials on the basis of safety and cost-effectiveness. Physical requirements can be satisfied easily but corrosion effects seriously complicate the selection of suitable materials. The corrosion-mitigations can be enhanced by the coating of organic and inorganic substance but its costs must also be considered. The cost of material depends upon design and physical requirements of the material. The attractive facial appearance makes the material expensive. Initially …

The new method of purification of the industrial waste waters
Abstract: The main problem in the all existing electrofloatation methods of cleaning is the increase of the alkalization space near the cathode that leads to formation of the salts sediments on the cathode as a result of passing of the electric current through the water environment. The salts so tightly cover cathode’s surface that can cause the total curtailment of the process of electrofloatation. This can be explained by the fact …
