Modeling the Diffusion Effects through the Iron Carbonate Layer in the Carbon Dioxide Corrosion of Carbon Steel
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mechanistic model was developed for predicting carbon dioxide corrosion rates of carbon steel pipes in multiphase flow conditions. The model incorporates the chemistry, thermodynamics of carbon dioxide dissolution, multiphase mass transfer, electrochemical kinetics on the metal surface and the presence of a corrosion product film. The predicted corrosion rates show good agreement with the experimental results.

A proposed method for protecting carbon steel and hence reducing iron release in an aqueous solution saturated with H2S is presented in this paper. The method is based on forming a stable and resistant sulfide layer (pyrite, FeS2, or pyrrhotite, Fe(1-x)S, phase or a mixture of both) on the carbon steel surface. The study on the formation of the sulfide layer was...
متن کاملA Mechanistic Model for Carbon Dioxide Corrosion of Mild Steel in the Presence of Protective Iron Carbonate Films—Part 2: A Numerical Experiment
A theoretical carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion model was used to conduct numerical experiments, which allowed total insight into the underlying physicochemical processes. The focus was on factors influencing protective iron carbonate film formation and the effect that these films have on the CO2 corrosion process. It was confirmed that high bulk pH, high temperature, high partial pressure of CO2,...
متن کاملBasics Revisited: Kinetics of Iron Carbonate Scale Precipitation in Co2 Corrosion
Glass cell experiments were conducted to understand kinetics of iron carbonate scale formation in pure carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of mild steel. Weight gain and loss (WGL) method was used as a direct approach to investigate kinetics of scale formation. The experiments were done at the temperatures of 60C to 90C, and an iron carbonate supersaturation range of 12 to 350. It is found that the ...
