Abstract:Synthesis of Schiff base intermediates using salicylaldehyde and diethylenetriamine as starting materials. After that, the Schiff base intermediate was supposed to react with formaldehyde and acetone, which would synthesize Mannich base (ISMB) corrosion inhibitor containing the imine by Mannich reaction. The structure of the product was determined by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopic methods. The corrosion inhibition performance of N80 steel sheet in mass fraction of 3% saline water saturated by CO2 was investigated by static weight loss method and electrochemical methods. The corrosion inhibitor was also evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to investigate its resistance to high temperature. The adsorption behavior and corrosion morphology of the inhibitor molecules on carbon steel surface were investigated. The inhibition mechanism of ISMB was calculated by quantum chemistry. The resoults show that, at 70℃, when the dosage of corrosion inhibitor reached 500 mg/L and the corrosion time was 72h, the inhibition rate of the corrosion inhibitor is 90.4%. The inhibitor had an excellent thermal stability in below 220℃, ISMB can be spontaneously adsorbed on the surface of steel sheet, and the adsorption type is a chemical adsorption based mixed adsorption. The corrosion morphology of N80 steel sheet surface was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results showed that the corrosion inhibition performance of corrosion inhibitor was quite satisfactory. Finally, the global reactivity parameters were obtained by quantum chemistry. The results showed that the energy gap of ISMB molecules was low, and the reactive region was mainly concentrated on benzene ring, nitrogen atom and oxygen atom.
