Industrial sectors like Automobiles, Manufacturing, Oilfields, and Processing facilities have huge involvement of metals and the most crucial problem they face is of corrosion. Heavy Industry metals are prone to the attacks of corrosive substances like acids, bases, oxidizing agents, caustic effects, etc., which react with the metal electrons, decreasing its metallic property and resulting in total structural damage. The financial loss caused due to corrosion per year is estimated in the range of thousands of crores and even causing threat to environmental balance. Before further elaboration, let us understand what acidic corrosion actually is and how does it affect metallic attributes? Corrosion is referred to as the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with the corrosive agents. A common phenomenon observed in the industrial areas, Corrosion complicates the overall working and operations depending upon ...

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor are designed specifically for preventing attack due to acidic components present in the environment, on the metal components without disturbing the acidic effect or in some places even heightening the acid effect in the given application or process. Before that we need to understand, what corrosion actually is and how acidic corrosion hampers the metal properties? Corrosion is referred to as the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with their environment. The term corrosion can sometimes also be applied to the degradation of concrete and wood, plastics, but generally refers to metals. Corrosion is a common phenomenon in the industrial areas and it brings about complicated circumstances in the distribution system which in turn is generally influenced by the metal used, water characteristics etc. Commonly, it is a result from water with low pH level where H + concentration seems to be very high to react with the electrons of the catho...
