Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal corrosion inhibitors, specifically to a metal corrosion inhibitor for the "D212 tower of alkylation unit" and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Thousands of years ago, humans began using metals. The use of metals greatly propelled social progress and the course of human history. Today, metals are even more inseparable from human life. However, both metals and alloys inevitably face the problem of corrosion. Corrosion is a spontaneous phenomenon that inevitably occurs in the natural environment, and this process is irreversible.
[0003] The corrosion prevention of metals has long been a major concern, and various methods and techniques have been employed. The main methods include sacrificial anodes, altering alloy composition, and using corrosion-resistant metals or alloys. These methods can mitigate corrosion to some extent; however, they all suffer from high costs, difficulty in implementation, and limited applicability.
[0004] Metal corrosion inhibitors are substances used on metal surfaces to provide protection. They are a type of specialized fine chemicals and corrosion protection technology. Adding trace amounts or small quantities of these chemicals can significantly reduce the corrosion rate of metal materials in a medium, even to zero, while maintaining the original physical and mechanical properties of the metal material.
[0005] Compared with other corrosion prevention technologies, adding corrosion inhibitors has several significant advantages, such as requiring no special equipment, simple control, low cost, and easy operation. Considering the excellent corrosion prevention effect and good economic benefits, corrosion inhibitors have been widely used in petroleum extraction and processing, pickling, and industrial circulating water systems.
[0006] After years of development, many types of corrosion inhibitors have been synthesized and utilized. The vast majority of corrosion inhibitors contain heteroatoms, such as N, O, S, P, etc., or contain aromatic rings. These compounds all have lone pairs of electrons, which are easy to interact with metals, thereby forming a protective barrier between the metal and alloy surface and the corrosive medium, achieving the purpose of slowing down metal corrosion.
[0007] Metal corrosion inhibitors have advantages such as wide application, low dosage, low cost, low investment, simple operation, minimal corrosion to the metal substrate, and good protective effect. Therefore, the research and application of corrosion inhibitors has become one of the research hotspots in the field of corrosion prevention at home and abroad.
[0008] Our company's alkylation unit's D212 tower operates on a special medium. The material, after alkali and water washing, runs at high speed, posing a potential risk of acid corrosion and cavitation to metal equipment. To ensure safe production and minimize losses, we have developed a specialized metal corrosion inhibitor. This inhibitor utilizes neutralization and adsorption principles to protect the tower equipment.
[0009] There are similar corrosion inhibitor products on the market, but they are expensive, ineffective, and can contaminate the main product. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a special metal corrosion inhibitor for the "D212 tower of an alkylation unit" and its preparation method, which solves the problem of product contamination. The corrosion inhibitor is highly polar, miscible with water, and does not contaminate hydrocarbon materials; it improves the anti-corrosion effect and reduces production costs. The corrosion inhibitor has the advantages of 5 times the anti-corrosion effect of similar products on the market and a production cost that is one-tenth of the price of similar products on the market. This solves the problem that while similar corrosion inhibitors exist on the market, they are expensive, ineffective, and contaminate the main product.
