460 第十三届全国缓蚀剂学术讨论会论文集 A study of anti-corrosion behavior of Imidazoline derivative-treated mild steel * YU Ping , LUO Yun-bai College of Chemistry and Molecular Science, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China Abstract ：An imidazoline derivative (OED) was synthesized in laboratory. Its thermal discomposed temperature was confirmed by difference thermal analysis (DTA). The investigation of the inhibition performance of OED for mild steel in alkaline environment has been carried out. The optimum conditions of the anti-corrosion behavior of the OED–treated mild steel sample were established using acidity CuSO4 dropping test and contact angle measurement. The best protective OED film was formed on the surface after the mild steel samples were treated in steam at 280°C in an autoclave for 2 hours, using a solution OED concentration of 40mg/L, pH9.6. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the surface film. FTIR results revealed the OED modified the physical structure of the mild steel layer. From XPS analysis, it is believed that the surface layers of the OED treated sample consisted of iron oxides with N fill in its disfigurements. Key Words ：Imidazoline derivation; anti-corrosion; mild steel; FTIR; XPS 1. Introduction The corrosion of mild steel in thermal power equipment is a problem for power companies when such equipment is temporarily shut down for maintenance or other purpose, as the water inside the equipment could not be completely removed. The corrosion products could adversely affect the operation and, hence, the cost of the thermal power equipment. It was found the treatments with organic nitrogen compo
