Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry

Primary reference on polymeric corrosion inhibitors for researchers and professionals in the chemical and petrochemical industries

Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry provides an extensive overview of polymeric corrosion inhibitors for chemical and petrochemical industry—from design, synthesis, and characterization—to applications. The text discusses the different media in which corrosion is observed and enables readers to minimize/prevent pipes and other plant systems’ failures by adequately dealing with corrosion.

Considering the high importance of corrosion inhibitors development for the chemical and petrochemical industries, this book aims to provide fundamental and current practice with comprehensive coverage of the recent advancements of green polymeric corrosion inhibitors that could be used. The text systematically presents fundamentals, up-to-date development, and industrial applications of polymeric corrosion inhibitors.

In Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry, readers can expect to find specific information on:

• Water- and oil-soluble polymeric corrosion inhibitors, plus polymeric corrosion inhibitors for acid, CO₂ (sweet), H₂S (sour), cooling water, and basic media
• Polymers as kinetic hydrate inhibitors, high-temperature polymeric corrosion inhibitors, and polymeric inhibitors for microbiologically influenced corrosion
• Surface characterization techniques in corrosion inhibition research and guidelines for designing corrosion inhibitors for oil and gas production
• The impact of corrosion inhibitors as green polymeric materials and what they mean for the future of the field

Polymeric Corrosion Inhibitors for Greening the Chemical and Petrochemical Industry is a primary reference for researchers and professionals in the material science, chemistry and electrochemistry, chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical engineering industries who wish to counter the economic and environmental consequences of corrosion in various plant systems.
