ABSTRACT

Abstract The present work investigated the preparation of valine of polyaspartic acid (Val-PASP) and leucine of poly aspartic acid (Leu-PASP) by using polysuccinimide. PASP compounds were used as corrosion and scale inhibitors. The prepared derivatives in this study were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance 1HNMR. The electrochemical behavior of the synthesized compounds was studied on carbon steel surface using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The morphology of the C-steel specimens was surveyed using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis of X-rays investigations. Scale agglomeration inhibition was evaluated using different concentrations of the inhibitors using standard scale test method. The highest corrosion inhibition efficiency for Val-PASP and Leu-PASP reaches 86.94 and 88.62% respectively at 250 ppm concentration, while their scale inhibition efficiency reaches 92.3 and 94.1% respectively at 125 ppm concentration.
