Abstract
This research presents an electrochemical corrosion investigation to quantify the corrosiveness of carbon steel in blends of methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and arginine (Arg) at two molar concentration and different solvent proportions. The selected temperatures range varied from 20 °C to 50 °C and the CO2 partial pressure was in the range of 49-100 kPa. The obtained data showed increased corrosion rate with increased CO2 partial pressure and increased the temperature of the solution. However, when added to MDEA, arginine was found to act as an inhibitor, the higher Arginine proportion in the mixture, the more inhibition effect was observed.
