Abstract
The internal corrosion of mild steel in the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) represents a significant challenge in oil production and natural gas treatment facilities, but the underlying mechanisms involved in H2S corrosion are still not fully understood. This lack of knowledge makes the prediction, prevention, and/or control of aqueous H2S corrosion of mild steel much more difficult. In the present study, H2S corrosion mechanisms were experimentally investigated in short-term corrosion tests (lasting 1 h to 2 h), conducted in a 1 wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution at different pH (pH 2 to pH 5), at different temperatures (30°C to 80°C), under various H2S/N2 gaseous concentration ratios (0 to 10%[v]) and flow rates, using a X65 mild steel rotating cylinder electrode. Corrosion rates were measured by linear polarization resistance (LPR). Corrosion mechanisms were investigated by using potentiodynamic sweeps and by comparison with electrochemical modeling. LPR results showed that corrosion rates increase...
