Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition and a method for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface with the ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition are provided. The ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition includes 10-30 weight % of fatty acids derived from waste vegetable oils and 70-90 weight % of heavy aromatic naphtha. The fatty acids derived from waste vegetable oils include oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. In the method, the ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition is added to a hydrocarbon fluid exposed to the metal surface and the corrosion inhibitor composition inhibits corrosion on the metal surfaces.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface, the method comprising: adding an ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition to a hydrocarbon fluid exposed to the metal surface, wherein the corrosion inhibitor composition comprises: 20 weight % of fatty acids derived from waste vegetable oils, wherein the fatty acids comprise approximately 60-70 weight % of oleic acid, approximately 10-20 weight % of linoleic acid, and approximately 5-10 weight % of palmitic acid; and 80 weight % of heavy aromatic naphtha (HAN), wherein the corrosion inhibitor composition inhibits corrosion on metal surfaces. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition is added to the hydrocarbon fluid in a concentration of approximately 10 ppm to approximately 500 ppm. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition is added to the hydrocarbon fluid in a concentration of approximately 200 ppm. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor composition is free of nitrogen compounds. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corrosion is caused by carbon dioxide gas or hydrogen sulfide gas. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corrosion is caused by naphthenic acid. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fatty acids are converted from the waste vegetable oils via base hydrolysis with methanol and subsequent base hydrolysis with NaOH in water.
