Abstract

C8F17SO2NH(CH2)3N(CH3)2(CH2COO)Na (PNHD) is a novel amphoteric fluorinated surfactant. The corrosion inhibition of PNHD and its mixed systems with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or octylphenol ethoxylate 9.5 EO (TX-10) for carbon steel Q235 in 1.0 M HCl solution was studied in this paper. The corrosion inhibition efficiency (η) was determined by weight loss, electrochemical methods and scanning electron microscope. The values of η from the three methods were almost identical. The hydrophilic head group of PNHD has two lone pairs of electrons at the nitrogen atoms, suggesting a chemisorption mechanism between carbon steel and surfactant. The PNHD and mixed systems inhibitors acted as a mixed inhibitor; there is interaction between PNHD and CTAB or TX-100. A compact protective film was formed in PNHD and its mixed systems.
