Chloride inhibitors

Raw Material Purity Requirements. The oxygen process has four main raw materials ethylene, oxygen, organic chloride inhibitor, and cycle diluent. The purity requirements are estabHshed to protect the catalyst from damage due to poisons or thermal mnaway, and to prevent the accumulation of undesirable components in the recycle gas. The latter can lead to increased cycle purging, and consequently higher ethylene losses.

Effect of Ferric Chloride Inhibitor on Corrosion in Boiling HCl... 

CH2 CCl2- Colourless liquid, b.p. 32°C, manufactured by the dehydrochlorination of trichloroethane. In the presence of light and air, it decomposes with the evolution of HCI, phosgene, and methanal and deposition of some polyvinylidene chloride. Consequently it must be stored away from light and in the presence of dissolved inhibitors (such as phenols and amines). Under the influence of... 

Carboxylic Acid Functional Group Reactions. Polymerization is avoided by conducting the desired reaction under mild conditions and in the presence of polymeriza tion inhibitors. AcryUc acid undergoes the reactions of carboxyUc acids and can be easily converted to salts, acryhc anhydride, acryloyl chloride, and esters (16—17). 

Bronze disease necessitates immediate action to halt the process and remove the cause. For a long time, stabilization was sought by removal of the cuprous chloride by immersing the object in a solution of sodium sesquicarbonate. This process was, however, extremely time-consuming, frequentiy unsuccesshil, and often the cause of unpleasant discolorations of the patina. Objects affected by bronze disease are mostiy treated by immersion in, or surface appHcation of, 1 H-henzotriazole [95-14-7] C H N, a corrosion inhibitor for copper. A localized treatment is the excavation of cuprous chloride from the affected area until bare metal is obtained, followed by appHcation of moist, freshly precipitated silver oxide which serves to stabilize the chloride by formation of silver chloride. Subsequent storage in very dry conditions is generally recommended to prevent recurrence. 

Complexing agents, which act as buffers to help control the pH and maintain control over the free metal—salt ions available to the solution and hence the ion concentration, include citric acid, sodium citrate, and sodium acetate potassium tartrate ammonium chloride. Stabilizers, which act as catalytic inhibitors that retard the spontaneous decomposition of the bath, include fluoride compounds thiourea, sodium cyanide, and urea. Stabilizers are typically not present in amounts exceeding 10 ppm. The pH of the bath is adjusted. 

Eor many polymeri2ations, MEHQ need not be removed instead, polymeri2ation initiators are added. Vinyhdene chloride from which the inhibitor has been removed should be refrigerated in the dark at —10° C, under a nitrogen atmosphere, and in a nickel-lined or baked phenolic-lined storage tank. If not used within one day, it should be reinhibited. 

The hquid is irritating to the skin after only a few minutes of contact. The inhibitor MEHQ may be partiy responsible for this irritation. Inhibited vinyhdene chloride is moderately irritating to the eyes. Contact causes pain and conjunctival irritation, and possibly some transient corneal injury and iritis. Permanent damage, however, is not likely. 

A typical cationic polymeriza tion is conducted with highly purified monomer free of moisture and residual alcohol, both of which act as inhibitors, in a suitably dry unreactive solvent such as toluene with a Eriedel-Crafts catalyst, eg, boron triduoride, aluminum trichloride, and stannic chloride. Usually low temperatures (—40 to —70°C) are favored in order to prevent chain-transfer or sidereactions. 

The inorganic characterization schedule for wastewaters to be treated using biological systems should include those tests which provide information concerning (/) potential toxicity, such as heavy metal, ammonia, etc (2) potential inhibitors, such as total dissolved soHds (TDS) and chlorides (J) contaminants requiring specific pretreatment such as pH, alkalinity, acidity, suspended soHds, etc and (4) nutrient availabiUty. 

Crevice Corrosion. Crevice corrosion is intense locali2ed corrosion that occurs within a crevice or any area that is shielded from the bulk environment. Solutions within a crevice are similar to solutions within a pit in that they are highly concentrated and acidic. Because the mechanisms of corrosion in the two processes are virtually identical, conditions that promote pitting also promote crevice corrosion. Alloys that depend on oxide films for protection (eg, stainless steel and aluminum) are highly susceptible to crevice attack because the films are destroyed by high chloride ion concentrations and low pH. This is also tme of protective films induced by anodic inhibitors. 

The most effective way to prevent SCC in both stainless steel and brass systems is to keep the system clean and free of deposits. An effective deposit control treatment is imperative. A good corrosion inhibitor is also beneficial. Chromate and phosphate have each been used successfully to prevent the SCC of stainless steel in chloride solutions. 

Many chlorinated hydrocarbons react readily with aluminum in the so-caHed bleeding reaction. A red aluminum chloride—chlorinated hydrocarbon complex is formed. Storage of uninhibited chlorinated solvents in aluminum vessels results in corrosion in a short period of time. Proprietary organic inhibitors permit commercial use of reactive solvents such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene for cleaning of aluminum. 

Commercial use of many chlorinated derivatives imposes stress on the stabHity of the solvent. Inhibitors classified as antioxidants (qv), acid acceptors, and metal stabilizers are added to minimize these stresses. AH the chloriaated derivatives hydrolyze at a slow but finite rate when dissolved ia water. Hydrolysis of chloriaated solvents typicaHy Hberates hydrogen chloride that can corrode storage containers and commercial metal-cleaning equipment. The Hberated hydrogen chloride can be neutralized by an appropriate epoxide to form noncorrosive chlorohydrins (qv).
