CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTIONS

Corrosions is deterioration of metal because of reaction with surroundings. Generally corrosions is the effect of low water pH. H⁺ ion reacts with electrons at cathode. The factors like pH, oxygen contents, chemicals makeup of water, dissimilar metals, temperature, velocity and pressure in pipeline are  important in corrosion of pipeline systems. Coating galvanizing, linning, electroplating, anodizing are few common methods for corrosion preventions, new economical and effective methods are being explored by various investigators. Corrosion affect the economy of the chemical research because of the growing need to implement effective and economical corrosion presentation methods.

In practice corrosion can never be stop but can be hindered to a reasonable level. Over the years, reductions  in the rate of metal corrosion have been achieved  through a number of ways, it involves controlling the pH or ion concentration of the solution or controlling the metal solution interface. This is achieved through the addition of  small amount of chemical called inhibitors, that either form a barrier like layer on the metal surface or stimulate film formation and by so doing retard or slow down the rate of metal dissolution according to khaled, (2006). Acid solutions are widely used in industry some important fields of application include acid pickling of iron and steel, chemical cleaning and processing, are production  and oil well acidification, acids such as HCl and H₂SO₄  are generally in the treatment of steel and ferrous alloys. Because of the general aggression  of acid solution inhibitors are commonly used to reduce the corrosive attack on metallic materials.
