<p>A water soluble corrosion inhibitor containing a compound having at least one five-membered heterocyclic ring having at least one thione group and at least one other pendant group is described. Such a corrosion inhibiting compound can be made by reacting together a thiourea and a polyalkylene polyamine. A specific example includes preparing 1-(2-aminoethyl)-2-imidazolidinethione by reacting thiourea, per se, and diethylenetriamine. These corrosion inhibition compounds have greatly reduced aquatic toxicity, and may be employed as corrosion inhibitors in hydrocarbon streams.</p> |
