Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and compositions for inhibiting corrosion of a corrodible metal surface that contact a nitrogen-containing solution. The method comprises adding a chemical treatment composition to the nitrogen-containing solution that includes an organic filmer and a passivator. The organic filmer may be a hydroxycarboxylic acid. The chemical treatment composition may further include a surface-active compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting corrosion of a corrodible metal surface that contacts a nitrogen-containing solution including elemental nitrogen in a range of 28 to 34% by wt %, the method comprising: adding a chemical treatment composition to the nitrogen-containing solution that includes an organic filmer and a passivator, wherein the organic filmer includes a hydroxycarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid and glycolic acid, and the treatment composition is provided in a sufficient amount and for a sufficient time to form a stable protective film on at least a portion of the corrodible metal surface. 2. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the passivator is an organophosphorus compound or phosphorous molybdate. 3. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical treatment composition further includes a surface-active compound. 4. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 3 , wherein the surface-active compound is a nonionic surfactant. 5. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 4 , wherein the nonionic surfactant is an ester. 6. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the organic filmer in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 1 ppm to 90 ppm. 7. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the organic filmer in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 25 ppm to 50 ppm. 8. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the passivator in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 1 ppm to 90 ppm. 9. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the passivator in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 25 ppm to 50 ppm. 10. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 3 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the surface-active compound in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 1 ppm to 90 ppm. 11. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a concentration of the surface-active compound in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 25 ppm to 50 ppm. 12. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment composition is added so that a combined concentration of the organic filmer and the passivator in the nitrogen-containing solution is in a range of 50 to 150 ppm. 13. The method of inhibiting corrosion according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a concentration of the organic filmer in the nitrogen-containing solution in terms of ppm to a concentration of the passivator in the nitrogen-containing solution in terms of ppm is in a range of 1:10 to 10:1.
