Abstract
Scale formation is one of the factors affecting the efficiency in thermal processes where the degradation of copper has made many heat exchangers fail. Acid cleaning is useful in desalination plants to reduce scale formation, but this will result in a lot of corrosion complications. In acidic solutions during the acid cleaning and descaling processes, the use of copper corrosion inhibitors is used to reduce the corrosion of copper. The effective performance of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 2-acrylamide2methylpropansulphonic acid (AMPS) as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors have been attested for as monomers and not as a composite in acidic chloride solutions with an inhibition efficiency of 93.7%...
