Experimental study demonstrates protective iron carbonate film formation on carbon steel in carbon dioxide solutions under anoxic conditions, indicating oxygen ingress impairs corrosion resistance.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open circuit potential (OCP) measurements, complemented by solution speciation predictions and ex situ surface analyses, were used to investigate film formation on carbon steel in CO2 saturated methyldiethanolamine(aq) solutions at 80 °C, pH 7.9–8.6. Pure FeCO3 films, evidenced by OCPs of ca. −0.5 to −0.4 V (SHE), were formed under anoxic conditions and provided corrosion protection to the underlying substrate, increasing charge transfer resistances tenfold. O2 ingress caused a positive OCP shift to ca. > +0.35 V (SHE), resulting in formation of traces of iron oxide at the interface, which was less protective.
