Abstract

Weight loss and potentiodynamic tests were performed to determine the corrosivity of AISI-ASE 1020 carbon steel in aqueous solutions containing diethanolamine (DEA) and/or its principal degradation products. The solutions were either free from or saturated with CO₂. The amine solutions were found to be corrosive in the presence of CO₂, and corrosion rates at 100 °C and atmospheric pressure ranged from approximately 1.6 to 2.1 mm/year for DEA concentrations of 30-60 wt %, respectively. 3-(Hydroxyethyl)-2-oxazolidone, which is a major degradation compound of DEA, was found to be most corrosive. The corrosivity of DEA solutions in the presence of CO₂ is explained qualitatively in terms of the reduction in solution pH and the enlargement of the corrosion region in the Pourbaix diagram due to metal complexing.
