Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] 1. Technical field This disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for suppressing white rust on galvanized metal surfaces in industrial water systems. More specifically, this disclosure relates to compositions comprising a 2-substituted benzimidazole alone or in combination with a polyamine-based component, which can be introduced onto a galvanized metal surface. [Background technology]

[0002] 2.Background technology Zinc plating is a protective zinc coating chemically bonded to a metal surface. The zinc coating protects the underlying metal from corrosion by providing a mechanical barrier and electrochemical resistance to the environment. Several zinc plating methods exist, including electroplating, continuous galvanizing, and hot-dip galvanizing. Many industrial water systems, such as cooling water circulation systems, have such zinc-plated surfaces. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0003] A common problem with galvanized coatings is white rust, which appears as a white, waxy, fuzzy, or powdery, unprotective, porous deposit that rapidly forms on galvanized surfaces when the surface is exposed to moisture and / or wet conditions. White rust can cause significant damage to the zinc coating and also negatively impacts the appearance of the coating. If left untreated, white rust will continuously corrode the affected galvanized surface, eventually leading to premature failure of the coating. The presence of such unprotective, porous deposits on a galvanized surface can cause the surface to form more white rust and corrode more rapidly.

[0004] Current white rust prevention programs include a combination of pre-passivation of cooling towers and continuous water chemistry management to support the viability of the passive layer. In addition to the basic zinc carbonate protective layer, pretreatment with inorganic phosphates and chromate passivation is listed as a white rust inhibitor. Such inorganic solutions have limited effectiveness and are increasingly subject to federal and local regulations due to environmental concerns.

[0071] This disclosure provides methods for using heterocyclic compounds and formulations containing heterocyclic compounds, which are particularly useful for suppressing the corrosion of metal components in industrial aqueous systems. In addition to aqueous systems, benzimidazoles capable of chelating with metals provide excellent resistance to metal corrosion. In particular, the addition of benzimidazole substituted with 2-pyridyl or benzyl alcohol to aqueous systems in contact with metal surfaces results in excellent corrosion suppression for metals such as copper. Furthermore, while benzotriazoles and benzimidazoles are generally unstable in the presence of halogen oxide compounds, the compounds of this disclosure can 1,2-chelate with metals to provide exemplary protection for metals in the presence of halogen oxide compounds. In particular, 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole provides better protection against corrosion than benzimidazole, 2-phenylbenzimidazole, and tolyltriazole in the presence of halogen oxide compounds. While we do not wish to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds of this disclosure are thought to form a protective film that is essentially impenetrable to common halogen oxide compounds through bidentate chelation with the metal surface of the corrosion inhibitor. Therefore, in certain embodiments, the methods of this disclosure provide protection against metal corrosion in aqueous systems using halogen oxide compounds as biocides.

[0072] In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides methods for inhibiting or preventing corrosion of metal surfaces in contact with aqueous systems. These methods may include adding any of the compositions described herein to an aqueous system. For example, the compositions may include compounds of formula (I) and polyamines.

[0073] "Industrial water systems" refers to any system that circulates water. Non-exclusive examples of "industrial water systems" include cooling systems, boiler systems, heating systems, membrane systems, papermaking systems, or any other system that circulates water.

[0074] Compositions comprising polyamines and compounds of formula (I), (Ia), and / or (II) may provide corrosion protection for galvanized metals. These compositions may prevent the formation of rust. In some embodiments, the rust is white rust.

[0075] The term "white rust" refers to a type of corrosion product affecting galvanized surfaces, characterized by the accumulation of white, fuzzy, or waxy, unprotective zinc corrosion products that adhere to the zinc surface of galvanized steel.

[0076] One way to passivate a surface is to allow the zinc coating to develop a natural, non-porous surface of basic zinc carbonate during the initial startup of the cooling tower. This natural chemical barrier helps prevent or slow further rapid corrosion of the zinc coating from the environment and normal cooling tower operation. White rust is also a form of zinc carbonate that has a different porous structure, formation rate, and density compared to the protective zinc carbonate barrier described above.

[0077] The compounds of formulas (I), (Ia), and (II) can be added to an aqueous system at any dosage rate, but they are generally added to aqueous systems at dosage rates of about 0.01 ppm to about 500 ppm. In certain embodiments, the compounds of formulas (I), (Ia), or (II) are added to aqueous systems at dosage rates of about 0.01 ppm to about 100 ppm. In certain embodiments, compounds of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) are present in concentrations of approximately 0.01 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 0.01 ppm to 75 ppm, approximately 0.01 ppm to 50 ppm, approximately 0.01 ppm to 25 ppm, approximately 0.01 ppm to 10 ppm, approximately 0.01 ppm to 5 ppm, approximately 0.1 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 0.1 ppm to 75 ppm, approximately 0.1 ppm to 50 ppm, and approximately 0.1 ppm to 25 ppm. It is added to an aqueous system at a dosage rate of approximately 0.1 ppm to 10 ppm, approximately 0.1 ppm to 5 ppm, approximately 1 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 1 ppm to 75 ppm, approximately 1 ppm to 50 ppm, approximately 1 ppm to 25 ppm, approximately 1 ppm to 10 ppm, approximately 5 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 10 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 25 ppm to 100 ppm, approximately 50 ppm to 100 ppm, or approximately 80 ppm to 100 ppm.

[0078] In certain embodiments, the aqueous system is a cooling system. The cooling system may be a closed-loop or open-loop cooling system. In certain embodiments, the compound of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) is added to a closed-loop cooling system at a dosing rate of about 0.01 ppm to about 200 ppm. In certain embodiments, the compound of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) is added to an open-loop cooling system at a dosing rate of about 0.01 ppm to about 20 ppm.

[0079] The compounds of formulas (I), (Ia), and (II) are brought into contact with a metal surface by any suitable method. In certain embodiments, a solution of the compound of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) is brought into contact with a metal surface by immersion, spraying, or other coating techniques. In certain embodiments, a solution of the compound of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) is introduced into water in an aqueous system by any conventional method and supplied to the aqueous system either periodically or on a continuous basis.

[0080] In one embodiment, introducing a composition onto a galvanized surface involves incorporating this method into a hot-dip manufacturing process. For example, the metal is first immersed in molten zinc at 450°C (a temperature at which iron / steel and zinc share a great affinity), where the metal is protected by a zinc coating. The next step in the manufacturing process is to immerse the zinc-coated metal in a composition comprising a compound of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) and a polyamine.

[0081] In another embodiment, such introduction onto a metal surface involves directly spraying a solution of the composition onto the surface, including the surface, in an industrial water system. In one embodiment, the composition is mixed with a foaming agent to form a mixture, which is then sprayed onto a galvanized metal surface using any suitable spraying device. Examples of foaming agents include surfactants such as alkoxylated alcohols, polyethylene glycol, or any other suitable surfactant. In an alternative embodiment, the composition may be applied physically to the surface by rolling with a paint roller or the like, brushing with a paintbrush or the like, wiping with a mop or the like, or by any other suitable method or technique.

[0082] In some embodiments, the compounds of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) and the polyamines can be applied to a metal surface independently and in any order.

[0083] In another embodiment, the composition is reintroduced onto the surface one or more times after one or more time intervals to “overlay” the barrier or “repassivate” the surface. Continuous overlay steps are also contemplated to renew the corrosion-inhibiting barrier and / or repassivate the galvanized surface. As determined on a case-by-case basis, this method may comprise several different compositions, and overlaying the barrier may involve introducing one or more different corrosion-reducing compositions onto the galvanized metal surface.

[0084] In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein may include fluorescent organic compounds. In certain embodiments, the fluorescent organic compounds may be selected from rhodamine or its derivatives, acridine dyes, fluorescein or its derivatives, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein may include fluorescently tagged polymers.

[0085] Those skilled in the art will understand that polyamines and compounds of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) can be added to aqueous systems alone or in combination with other corrosion inhibitors or treatment chemicals. Numerous corrosion inhibitors comprising two or more compounds of formula (I), (Ia), and / or formula (II) can be administered as combined corrosion inhibitor formulations, or each corrosion inhibitor can be added individually. Furthermore, compounds of formula (I), (Ia), or (II) can be added to aqueous systems in combination with a variety of additional corrosion inhibitors, including but not limited to triazoles, benzotriazoles (e.g., benzotriazole or toltriazole), benzimidazoles, orthophosphates, polyphosphates, phosphonates, molybdates, silicates, oximes, and nitrites. The compounds of formulas (I), (Ia), and (II) can also be added to aqueous systems in combination with various additional additives such as treatment polymers, antimicrobial agents, anti-scaling agents, colorants, fillers, buffers, surfactants, viscosity modifiers, chelating agents, dispersants, deodorants, masking agents, oxygen absorbers, and indicator dyes.

[0086] The compositions of this disclosure may comprise about 0 to 10 weight percent of a polyamine and about 10 to about 100 weight percent of a compound of formula (I), with the remainder being auxiliary components and water. More preferably, the polyamine is present in about 2 to 10 weight percent, the compound of formula (I) is present in about 20 to about 100 weight percent, with the remainder being auxiliary components and water. A preferred blend comprises about 10 weight percent of a polyamine and about 90 weight percent of a compound of formula (I). More preferably, the blend comprises about 40 weight percent of a polyamine and about 60 weight percent of a compound of formula (I). Most preferably, the blend consists of about 60 weight percent of a polyamine and about 40 weight percent of a compound of formula (I).

[0087] The dosage range for adding or applying polyamines may be in the range of 0.01 ppm to about 200 ppm. In some embodiments, the polyamine dosage may be in the range of about 0.01 ppm to about 50 ppm, about 0.01 ppm to about 10 ppm, or about 0.01 ppm to about 5 ppm. In some embodiments, the polyamine dosage may be about 0.5 ppm.

[0088] The dosage range for adding or applying the compound of formula (I) may be in the range of 0.01 ppm to about 200 ppm. In some embodiments, the dosage may be in the range of about 0.01 ppm to about 50 ppm, about 0.01 ppm to about 10 ppm, or about 0.01 ppm to about 5 ppm. In some embodiments, the dosage may be about 2 ppm. [Examples]

[0089] When the working electrode was a galvanized disk, a three-electrode electrochemical cell was used. Two steel electrodes functioned as one reference electrode and the other as the counter electrode. The test solution was a mixture of corrosive water and the candidate inhibitor to be evaluated. The corrosive water generally contained 200 ppm calcium (as CaCO3), 200 ppm magnesium (as CaCO3), 500 ppm chloride, and 150 ppm bicarbonate. 190 ml of the test solution was used in each test and continuously stirred using a magnetic stirrer while maintaining a temperature of 80 ± 2°F. Measurements were taken at 5-hour intervals until the galvanized surface of the working electrode was damaged at a high corrosion rate.

[0090] The effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitor composition was determined by the electrochemical corrosion rate measured by polarization resistance. The cathode and anode gradients were determined by a Tafel scan before performing polarization. The scan was performed using a Gamry Potentiostat / Galvanostat set to 0.1 mV / sec.

[0091] Example 1

[0092] The total amount of chemicals (corrosion inhibitor + polyamine) administered in this experiment was approximately 10 ppm. The weight ratio of corrosion inhibitor to polyamine was approximately 1:1. Figure 1 shows the average corrosion rate in mpy for various treatments. Compound YMI refers to Compound 1 shown below. TT refers to tritriazole, and H0680 is poly[oxy(methyl)-1,2-ethanediyl],alpha-(2-aminomethylethyl)-omega-(2-aminomethyl-ethoxy)-) functionalized with 1,2-propanediol,3-chloro. [ka]
