Abstract

In present research, we examined MgSrP2O7 as a new pigment with focus on its application as a corrosion inhibitor. The influence of the synthesis’ conditions on the product properties was examined. Samples were obtained by solid-state reaction and various homogenisation methods of initial components were employed (hand-milling, wet (ethanol/acetone) ball-milling and coprecipitation). Thermal behaviour of the reaction mixtures or dried coprecipitate was investigated using differential thermal and thermo-gravimetric analyses. Obtained samples were characterised with X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and IR spectroscopy. Focusing on pigmentary application, specific properties of the samples were evaluated, such as thermal stability, mean particle size values and colour parameters, and also preliminary anticorrosion tests have been performed. Based on obtained results, MgSrP2O7 could be considered as a perspective corrosion inhibitor and homogenisation via coprecipitation can be rated as the best method of preparation of this composition, which provides the best thermal stability, the lowest particle size, the best homogeneity and the most promising corrosion inhibition characteristics (pH and ρ of the pigment aqua suspension) for the final product.
