<p>A method of inhibiting corrosion in boilers and boiler feedwater systems comprises adding to boiler feedwater containing dissolved oxygen an additive that is at least one trihydroxybenzene compound, hexahydroxybenzene, levodopa, and/or a salt, homologue or analogue of levodopa. There may also be added, as second corrosion inhibitor, one or more of hydroquinone, methoxypropylamine, cyclohexylamine, diethylethanolamine, morpholine, diethyl hydroxylamine, dimethyl amino-2-propanol, carbohydrazide, 2-amino-2-methylpropanol, erythorbic acid, and salts of erythorbic acid. Compositions comprising the additive and such a second corrosion inhibitor are novel.</p> |
