Abstract

Polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) is a new, non-phosphorous, biodegradable, environmentally friendly scale and corrosion inhibitor implemented in industrial water treatment. The corrosion and scale inhibition properties of PESA were investigated in the test water by using static beaker test, weight-loss method, polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It is found that, PESA has better scale inhibition efficiency on CaCO3, BaSO4 as well as is a phosphate-free environment-friendly inhibitor with multi-scale properties. There is a limited corrosion inhibition effect on carbon steel provided by PESA used alone at low concentration, and with the increase of PESA concentration, corrosion inhibition is gradually strengthened. The pH value has significant effect on corrosion inhibition property of PESA. There is low corrosion inhibition efficiency in acidic condition, as well as better corrosion inhibition efficiency of PESA in alkaline condition. PESA is mainly as the function of anodic corrosion inhibitor. PESA should be a non-phosphorous, biodegradable, environmentally friendly scale and corrosion inhibitor implemented in industrial water treat-ment.
