Why does CO2 cause corrosion?

Dry CO2 does not cause corrosion. Wet CO2 does.CO2 + H2O → H2CO3

Fe + CO2 + H2O → FeCO3 + H2

Cathodic reactions:2H2CO3 + 2e- → H2 + 2HCO3

-2 3 2 3

2HCO3- + 2e- → H2 + CO3

2H+ + 2e- → H2

Anodic reaction:Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-Fe → Fe 2e

5. ConclusionsThe corrosion rates calculated using NORSOK M-506 model are higher than

that measured from experiments.

The measured corrosion rate for carbon steel S355 in the flue gas environment

is higher (about 0.3 mm/y) than in CO2 saturated water at 100 bar and 60 C

(about 0 02mm/y) within 6 days(about 0.02mm/y) within 6 days.

The stainless steel has a very low general corrosion rate in the flue gas

environment.

The off-white coating (B) performs better than the other two, which can be a

good candidate for the application in the pipes to against the CO2 corrosion.

6. Future work

Mass loss test for carbon steel in the gas flue 7BpSurface analysis to check localized corrosionAutoclave tests for coating B in different thicknessAutoclave tests for coatings on CS/SS welds to simulate the coatingsAutoclave tests for coatings on CS/SS welds to simulate the coatings at joints of different materials.
