Abstract

The inhibition synergistic effect between imidazoline and thiourea for carbon steel in CO_2 saturated brine solution was investigated by using weight-loss method, polarization curves measureament and XPS. The results showd that the inhibition efficiency increased significantly when imidazoline derivative was added as a corrosion inhibitor in the solution together with thiourea. The N and S atoms in the inhibitor film adsorbed on the surface of carbon steel, and N atoms predominated in the film near the solution and decreased gradually with the film depth and finally S atoms were the major element in the film near the matrix. It was concluded that imidazoline and thiourea could form a cage complex which adsorbed on the surface of steel and provided a compact film and a better inhibition.
