Applications
Applications
Corrosion Inhibitor containing APQ's
Quaternary alkyl pyridinium (APQ) salts used in corrosion inhibitors
will excite in the UV and emit in the visible range. Wilson’s
instrumentation can be used to identify the presence and concentration
of these intrinsically fluorescent corrosion inhibitors with a 1 ppm
detection limit. The only sample preparation necessary is filtration and dilution. Fluorescence in regards to corrosion inhibitor detection
provides the high accuracy of HPLC testing and better reproducibility
than the chloroform extraction method.
Corrosion Inhibitors containing Fluorescent Imidazolines
APQ-containing corrosion inhibitors could be quantified using
ultraviolet-excitation fluorescence. Engenium Chemicals (Calgary, AB)
has recently developed an intrinsically-fluorescent imidazoline
corrosion inhibitor, which when formulated into a corrosion inhibitor
package provides for fluorescent detection (with UV excitation) with
similar detection limits to APQ formulations. LabBox can thus be used to
identify the presence and concentration of these imidazoline-based
corrosion inhibitors.
