Abstract
In our previous works, the corrosion inhibition properties of propylamine (PA), iso-propylamine (i-PA), butylamine (BA), tert-butylamine (t-BA), hexylamine (HA), ethylenediamine (EDA), diethanolamine (DEA), 3-amino-1-propanol (3-AP), 2-dimethylethanolamine (2-DEA), cyclohexylamine (CHA), N-methylcyclohexylamine ( N-MCA) and dicyclohexylamine (DCHA) have been investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with a carbon steel rotating disc electrode in some petroleum/water corrosive mixtures containing acetic acid and NaCl at 25 °C. In this work, the Kramers–Kronig transformations (KKTs) were applied to evaluate the validity of the impedance data of these amine compounds in hydrodynamic condition. The results obtained showed that experimental impedance data did not satisfy in K–K relations completely viz. indicated some errors. These errors were related to stray capacitances, external transmission line effects, pits formation and change in interface during data acquisition at high and low frequencies regions. In addition, the selection of a suitable equivalent circuit strongly emphasized to better interpret of EIS data which in turn cause better resulted KKTs spectra. With considering obtained transformations, more effective inhibitor was selected with regard to its charge transfer resistance, the corrosion capacitance and well satisfying in K–K relations.
