Protection of steel in acid solutions by an oxytetracycline-based inhibitor

Abstract
An effective inhibitor of corrosion of St3 steel in solutions of sulfuric and phosphoric acids has been developed based on the pharmaceutical drug for veterinary purposes – oxytetracycline. It has been established that in individual form this pharmaceutical preparation does not provide significant protection of steel in the studied environments. Its use in the form of a two-component mixture with NH4NCS is more promising. A composite inhibitor of 0.1−0.2% oxytetracycline+0.01% NH4NCS has been proposed, which is capable of providing effective long-term protection of steel in H2SO4 solutions with a wide range of acid concentrations (0.25−2.00 M) and temperatures t = 20−80°C. This mixture significantly slows down corrosion of low-carbon steel in 1.00 M H3PO4 at temperatures up to 95°C. The developed composition is no worse in its effectiveness in inhibiting steel corrosion in H2SO4 and H3PO4 solutions in comparison with similar mixed inhibitors created on the basis of an industrial surfactant – cocamidopropyl betaine and a veterinary drug – tricillin.
