Abstract

Carbon steel has wide applications in industry (especially in petroleum industry, eg. pipelines out from the top of distillation towers (over head pipes), pressure vessels, nozzles etc..) and domestic life. Study the phenomenon of electropolishing which is important as metallic finishing process which takes place before electroplating of metal. This work is devoted to study the electropolishing of carbon steel in phosphoric acid in presence of polymers molecules (Starch, Gelatin, Agar, Chitosan, Arabic gum, Cellulose acetate, Cellulose and Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt) . The rate of electropolishing of carbon steel in phosphoric acid solution in case of applied various affecting factors was investigated by estimated polarization curves from values of current and voltage that were abtained from the electrochemical cell. Morphology of the specimens after the experiment is monitored using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The (SEM) micrographs support the experimental measurements and give more light on carbon steel surface. Finally, samples of industrial waste water are collected from a drain of vaccum distillation tower over head pipes in Alexandria petroleum company and ferrous ions Fe+2 concenterations are determined in case of presence and absence of polymers molecules in order to judge the role of these polymers as a corrosion inhibitors on the ability to control the corrosion on carbon steel over head pipes.
