Review
"This book should provide the single best source of information on
corrosion inhibitors...due to its extensive coverage, it deserves to be read by
the majority of scientists in corrosion..." (Journal of Applied
Electrochemistry, Vol. 28, 1998)
Book Description
A book to cover developments in corrosion inhibitors is long overdue.
This has been addressed by Dr Sastri in a book which presents fundamental
aspects of corrosion inhibition, historical developments and the industrial
applications of inhibitors. The book deals with the electrochemical principles
and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal
complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum
chemical aspects and Hansch’ s model and also with the various surface analysis
techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in
industry for corrosion inhibition. The applications of corrosion inhibition are
wide ranging. Examples given in this book include: oil and gas wells,
petrochemical plants, steel reinforced cement, water cooling systems, and many
more. The final chapters discuss economic and environmental considerations which
are now of prime importance. The book is written for researchers in academia and
industry, practicing corrosion engineers and students of materials science,
engineering and applied chemistry.
