<p>The corrosion of ferrous metal surfaces in gas conditioning apparatus is inhibited by using gas conditioning solutions such as aqueous alkanolamines which contain thionitrogen compounds such as metal thiocyanates or thioamides. After recycling the gas conditioning solution for a few days, the solution dissolves sufficient amounts of nickel or cobalt or other metals in the equipment to act as a synergist with the thionitrogen compounds. In the event, the equipment does not contain any soluble synergistic metals, these metals may be added to the gas conditioning solution as soluble metal salts. Examples of useful additive metals are cobalt, nickel, calcium, copper, chromium, zinc, tin, aluminum, and magnesium.</p> |
