Abstract
Description
【Technical Field】 【0001】 Background 1. Technical Field The present disclosure generally relates to corrosion inhibitor compositions. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a polymaleate-containing corrosion inhibitor composition for suppressing corrosion in a closed-loop water circulation system. 【0002】 2. Description of Related Art In a closed-loop water circulation system, water is typically circulated for long periods of time without the addition or removal of water. Water removal may be necessary due to contamination. For example, some chemical additives provide a nutrient source for microorganisms to grow and form biofilms or other deposits that impede efficient heat transfer. Often, chemicals are added to prevent the growth of microorganisms or to prevent the corrosion of metals in contact with the circulating water stream. 【0003】 The corrosion inhibition of carbon steel has evolved over decades, from the use of chromates to the current use of heavy metals and phosphate chemicals. Decades ago, chromates were banned and were mainly replaced by molybdenum, zinc, silicates, and phosphates. There have been some advancements in phosphate chemicals, from the use of orthophosphates to polyphosphates, and also the use of organic phosphates, phosphonates, and phosphinates. Currently, phosphorus is under environmental pressure and can only be used in very low levels. 【0004】 Iron-based metals such as carbon steel are among the most commonly used structural materials in industrial systems. The loss of metal from the surface due to general corrosion leads to a decrease in mechanical strength, resulting in a reduction in the structural integrity of the system or structure. Localized corrosion (e.g., pitting) can pose an even greater threat to the normal operation of a system than general corrosion because such corrosion occurs severely in one specific location and can cause perforation in the system structure carrying industrial water flow. These perforations can lead to leaks, requiring the shutdown of the entire industrial system to allow for repairs. In practice, corrosion problems typically result in enormous maintenance costs and costs incurred due to equipment failure. 【0005】 While steel remains widely used, the use of aluminum or aluminum alloys is increasing due to their more desirable thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and diffusivity. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are stable under ambient conditions, but tend to corrode under aqueous conditions, particularly at high temperatures and in the presence of chloride ions. Aluminum heating elements are incompatible with conventional high-pH corrosion suppression programs. 【0006】 Corrosion protection of metals in industrial water systems is often achieved by adding corrosion inhibitors. Many corrosion inhibitors, including chromates, molybdates, zinc, nitrites, orthophosphates, and polyphosphates, have been used alone or in combination in various chemical treatment formulations. However, these inorganic chemicals may be toxic, harmful to the environment, and / or not very effective against localized corrosion, especially at economically feasible and / or environmentally acceptable low dose levels.

Dishwashing compositions may be used to protect articles such as glassware or silverware from corrosion in a dishwasher or dishwashing machine. However, it should be understood that dishwashing compositions containing the inhibitor compositions of this disclosure may be available for use in clean environments other than the interior of a dishwasher or dishwashing machine. 【0084】 In certain embodiments, the disclosed inhibitor composition may have one or more of the following characteristics: Halogen stability up to approximately 0.5 ppm of free residual chlorine (FRC), Capable of handling water temperatures up to approximately 100°C.

In a pressurized closed-loop system, the water temperature may exceed about 100°C, and the compositions of this disclosure can be used at such temperatures. 【0086】 Any of the aqueous systems described herein can be automatically monitored and controlled. For example, the pH of the system can be monitored and controlled, or the amount of inhibitory composition in the aqueous system can be monitored and controlled. 【0087】 The disclosure also describes online units and systems for measuring, controlling, and / or optimizing one or more system parameters or properties of water. Optimization may include, for example, measuring one or more properties related to water to ensure that one or more properties are within a predetermined acceptable range, and if one or more properties are not within a predetermined acceptable range, measuring a predetermined range for each property and causing a change in the water to bring the properties back within a predetermined acceptable range. 【0088】 In certain embodiments, the system includes a monitoring and control unit comprising a controller and a plurality of sensors. Each of the sensors may be in communication with the controller. For example, if the unit comprises five sensors, each of the five sensors may be in communication with the controller. In certain embodiments, the controller may be mounted on a skid or other type of support member so as to be movable. 【0089】 As used herein, the term "controller" means a manual operator or electronic device having components such as a processor, memory device, digital storage medium, communication interface including communication circuitry capable of supporting any number of communication protocols and / or network-based communications, user interface (a graphical user interface which may include, for example, a cathode ray tube, liquid crystal display, plasma display, touchscreen, or other monitor), and / or other components. 【0090】 The controller is preferably operable to integrate with one or more application-specific integrated circuits, programs, computer executable instructions or algorithms, one or more hardwired devices, wireless devices, and / or one or more mechanical devices. Furthermore, the controller is operable to integrate the feedback, feedforward, and / or predictive loops(s) of the present invention. Some or all of the controller system functions may be located in a central position, such as a network server, for communications in a local area network, wide area network, wireless network, internet connection, microwave link, infrared link, wired network (e.g., Ethernet®). Furthermore, other components such as signal regulators or system monitors may be included to facilitate signal transmission and signal processing algorithms. 【0091】 In certain embodiments, the controller includes hierarchical logic for prioritizing any measured or predicted characteristics related to system parameters. For example, the controller may be programmed to prioritize the system's pH over conductivity, or vice versa. The purpose of such hierarchical logic should be understood as enabling improved control over system parameters and avoiding cyclical control loops. 【0092】 In some embodiments, the monitoring and control unit and related methods include an automatic controller. In some embodiments, the controller is manual or semi-manual. For example, if the system includes one or more data sets received from various sensors within the system, the controller can automatically determine which data points / data sets to process further, or an operator can make such a decision partially or completely. For example, a data set of an industrial body of water may include variables or system parameters such as oxidation / reduction potential (ORP), dissolved oxygen (DO), conductivity, pH, turbidity, concentrations of specific chemicals such as biocides, scale inhibitors, friction reducers, acids, bases and / or deoxidizers, ion levels (e.g., determined empirically, automatically, fluorescently, electrochemically, colorimetrically, directly measured, and calculated), temperature, pressure, flow rate, total dissolved or suspended solids. Such system parameters are typically measured by any type of suitable data acquisition equipment, such as sensors specifically designed for these parameters, e.g., pH sensors, ion analyzers, temperature sensors, thermocouples, pressure sensors, corrosion probes, and / or any other suitable devices or sensors. The data acquisition equipment is preferably in communication with a controller and, according to some embodiments, may have advanced functions provided by the controller (including any part of the control algorithms described herein). 【0093】 The monitoring and control unit may comprise multiple sensors capable of analyzing water and transmitting data related to the water to a controller. These sensors may, for example, be for measuring conductivity, pH, ORP, biocide concentration, turbidity, temperature, flow rate, and DO in water. The monitoring and control unit may comprise any of these sensors, all of these sensors, a combination of two or more of these sensors, or one or more further sensors not specifically mentioned herein, and the sensors may be in communication with the controller. Other types of sensors contemplated in this disclosure include, but are not limited to, oil-in-water sensors, total dissolved solids sensors, and total suspended solids sensors. 【0094】 The monitoring and control system of this disclosure comprises, in certain embodiments, one or more chemical injection pumps. Each chemical injection pump may be in fluid communication with a storage device. Each storage device may contain one or more chemicals, and the chemical injection pumps can transport these chemicals into a water mass. In some embodiments, the chemical injection pumps are provided with storage devices. The chemical injection pumps may be in communication with a controller by any means, such as wired, wireless, electronic, cellular, infrared, satellite, or any other type of communication network, topology, protocol, standard, etc. Thus, the controller can send signals to the pumps to control the rate at which they supply the chemicals. 【0095】 In certain embodiments, the monitoring and control system is implemented such that multiple sensors provide continuous or intermittent feedback, feedforward, and / or predictive information to a controller, which can relay this information to a relay device such as a Nalco Global Gateway, which can transmit this information via cellular communication to a remote device such as a mobile phone, computer, and / or any other device capable of receiving cellular communication. The remote device can interpret the information and automatically send signals (e.g., electronic commands) back to the controller via the relay device, causing the controller to make specific adjustments to the pump output. This information may also be processed internally by the controller, which can automatically send signals to pumps, for example, to adjust the amount of chemical injected. Based on the information received by the controller from multiple sensors or remote devices, the controller can transmit signals to various pumps to automatically adjust the amount of chemical the pumps are injecting into the water in real time. 【0096】 Alternatively, an operator of a remote device receiving cellular communication from the controller can manually operate the pumps through the remote device. The operator can transmit instructions to the controller via the remote device, either cellularly or by other means, and the controller can adjust the chemical addition rate of the chemical injection pumps. For example, the operator can receive signals or warnings from the remote device via cellular communication from the controller and use the remote device to send instructions or signals back to the controller to turn on one or more chemical injection pumps, turn off one or more chemical injection pumps, increase or decrease the amount of chemical added to the water by one or more injection pumps, or any combination thereof. The controller and / or remote device can also automatically perform any of the aforementioned adjustments or modifications without the operator actually sending or inputting instructions. Pre-configured parameters or programs are input to the controller or remote device so that the controller or remote device can determine whether the measured characteristics are outside the acceptable range. Based on information received by multiple sensors, the controller or remote device can appropriately adjust the pumps or send appropriate warnings. [Examples] 【0097】 The pilot closed-loop test apparatus included a coupon rack constructed on a recirculating water bath. The water bath had an operating temperature range of approximately -30°C to 200°C, depending on the circulating medium used. Typically, the test temperature was approximately 10°C, 60°C, or 80°C to simulate both the cooling and heating loops. The performance of the corrosion inhibitor was evaluated by metal coupon testing or online electrochemical methods (linear polarization resistance). 【0098】 The performance of the corrosion inhibitors was also evaluated using agitation and stagnant jar tests. In these tests, mild steel coupons were submerged in water for a set period of time. The coupons were then removed from the jar and inspected for weight loss. 【0099】 For most tests, three water matrices were used. Tap water from Naperville, Illinois (W1) is low in corrosive stress due to its relatively high calcium and alkalinity and low concentrations of corrosive ions such as chloride and sulfate. To increase the corrosivity of the water and stress the corrosion inhibitors, additional chloride (sodium chloride) and sulfate (sodium sulfate) were added to Naperville tap water to reach approximately 150 ppm chloride and approximately 200 ppm sulfate (W2). Typically, tests were conducted at approximately 60°C using W2 to test the performance of the newly developed formulations for their robustness. A chloride concentration of approximately 150 ppm and a sulfate concentration of approximately 200 ppm would correspond to 80% of US makeup water. A third water matrix was used to simulate makeup water typically used in closed-loop cooling water applications (W3). A summary of the water used in these experiments is shown in Table 1. [Table 1] 【0100】 Example 1 The results of the jar tests are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Items 1-12 describe a series of experiments investigating the dose profiles of closed-loop corrosion inhibitor packages in two different waters using mild steel coupons at approximately 60°C. The components investigated in these experiments were polymaleic acid (approximately 82-410 ppm), tolyltriazole sodium (approximately 10-52 ppm), dispersant (polyacrylic acid copolymer with AMPS, approximately 3-15 ppm), SiO2 (approximately 16-79 ppm), and sodium carbonate (approximately 23-114 ppm). The two waters used in the experiments were W2 and W3. The results show that polymaleic acid, the primary mild steel corrosion inhibitor, can reduce mild steel corrosion at a low dose of approximately 82 ppm in both W2 and W3. Items 1 and 7 are control experiments without the addition of corrosion inhibitor components. Items 13-18 show that the individual components without PMA are not acceptable corrosion inhibitors. 【0101】 Items 19-24 compared the performance of the compositions in this application (items 19 and 22) against existing corrosion inhibitors based on molybdate and nitrite at two different pH values. At pH 9, which represents a typical pH encountered in closed-loop applications, item 19 performed better than the molybdate-based corrosion inhibitor (item 20) and was comparable in performance to the nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor (item 21). At pH 7.5, the nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor provided excellent corrosion inhibition (item 24), while both item 22 and the molybdate-based corrosion inhibitor (item 23) provided insufficient corrosion inhibition. PMA is polymaleic acid, Na TT is tolyltriazole sodium, Disp. is a copolymer of polyacrylic acid and AMPS, Na PAA is sodium polyacrylate, TEA is triethanolamine, and Na BZT is benzotriazole sodium. Amounts in the table are ppm unless otherwise specified. RT refers to room temperature, which is estimated to be around 20°C. [Table 2] [Table 3] 【0102】 Example 2 Table 4 shows the results of the closed-loop test. Items 1-3 show the corrosion inhibition results of the polymaleic acid-based carbonate buffer corrosion inhibitor composition. Items 1 and 2 show good corrosion inhibitory performance at different concentrations of sodium carbonate (115, 204 ppm). Item 3 shows that the composition is effective even in the absence of SiO2. Item 4 shows the corrosion inhibitory performance of the current nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor. The nitrite-based corrosion inhibitor exhibits good performance, demonstrating the effectiveness of the test method. Items 6-8 demonstrate the effectiveness of using TEA as a buffer instead of sodium carbonate. Item 6 shows that the TEA-containing composition can effectively inhibit mild steel corrosion at approximately 80°C and pH 7.3 in W2. Item 8 shows good performance of the PMA-based TEA buffer composition at approximately 80°C and in W1. N-methyl is N-methylimidazole. AB is Admiralty brass. [Table 4] 【0103】 Example 3 Hydrolyzed polymaleic acid (HPMA), a compound of formulas (III) to (VI), was tested for corrosion control of aluminum alloys. HPMA provides excellent protection to certain aluminum alloys, including Al1100 and Al6061. Surprisingly, it also provides excellent corrosion protection to mild steel coupons even at approximately 80°C in water W1. Further testing of HPMA in water W2 at approximately 80°C demonstrated excellent corrosion control of mild steel. HPMA is sufficiently effective to replace molybdates and nitrites for corrosion control of mild steel in closed-loop applications. 【0104】 A formulation of HPMA was prepared containing approximately 17% by weight of HPMA, approximately 63% by weight of TEA, and approximately 1.7% by weight of TT. Water W1 was used at a pH of approximately 7.9 and a temperature of approximately 80°C. The concentration of HPMA in the water containing the metal test coupon was approximately 375 ppm. The concentration of TEA was approximately 1583 ppm. The concentration of TT was approximately 42 ppm. 【0105】 The results showed that after approximately 6 days, the corrosion rate of the mild steel coupon was approximately 0.4 mpy, copper was 0.0 mpy, Admiralty metal was approximately 0.0 mpy, and Al1100 was approximately 4.8 mpy. 【0106】 Another formulation of HPMA was prepared containing approximately 18% by weight of HPMA, approximately 56% by weight of TEA, and approximately 3% by weight of TT. Water W2 was used at a pH of approximately 7.45 to approximately 7.57 and a temperature of approximately 80°C. The concentration of HPMA in the water containing the metal test coupon was approximately 440 ppm. The concentration of TEA was approximately 1412 ppm. The concentration of TT was approximately 75 ppm. The concentration of the dispersant was approximately 10 ppm. 【0107】 The results showed that after approximately two weeks, the corrosion rates were approximately 0.53 mpy for mild steel coupons, 0.05 mpy for copper, 0.74 mpy for Al6061, and 0.6 mpy for Al1100. 【0108】 Example 4 A formulation of HPMA was prepared containing approximately 21% by weight of HPMA, approximately 10% by weight of NaOH, approximately 3.6% by weight of TT, approximately 2.75% by weight of mercaptobenzothiazole, and approximately 5.4% by weight of Na2SiO3.5H2O. Water W1 was used at a pH of approximately 9.4 to approximately 10.5 and a temperature of approximately 25°C. The concentration of HPMA in the water containing the metal test coupon was approximately 520 ppm. The concentration of TT was approximately 90 ppm. The concentration of mercaptobenzothiazole was approximately 69 ppm. The concentration of Na2SiO3.5H2O was approximately 135 ppm. 【0109】 The results showed that after approximately 24 days, the formulation provided protection for mild steel, copper, Admiralty metal, galvanized steel, and Al7075. Another test using the same formulation at 80°C with a pH of approximately 9.11–10.32 showed good protection for mild steel, copper, Al6061, Al1100, and galvanized steel. 【0110】 Example 5 A polymaleic acid (PMA) formulation containing PMA, NaOH, TEA, TT, a dispersant, water, and NaNO3 was prepared. The concentration of PMA in water containing a metal test coupon was approximately 500 ppm. The concentration of TEA was approximately 600 ppm. The concentration of TT was approximately 84 ppm. The concentration of the dispersant was approximately 13.5 ppm. The concentration of NaNO3 was approximately 801 ppm. 【0111】 The results showed very good protection for galvanically bonded Al7075 containing yellow metal. Mild steel and yellow metal coupons were also adequately protected. In W2 water at 60°C, the formulation protected Al360. 【0112】 Example 6 A compound of polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) containing PESA, water, TEA, TT, a dispersant, and Na2SiO3.5H2O was prepared. The W2 water was used at a temperature of approximately 60°C. The concentration of PESA in water containing a metal test coupon was approximately 2500 ppm. 【0113】 The results showed very good protection for mild steel and copper. 【0114】 Any composition disclosed herein may contain, consist of, or essentially consist of any of the compounds / components disclosed herein.
