The corrosion of metals in contact with aqueous alkanolamine solution in acid gas removal units is inhibited by adding to the alkanolamine solution a corrosion inhibiting amount of a thiacrown ether compound. The compounds are monomeric or polymeric and have from 4 to about 10 sulfur atoms on each of the crown rings. The polymeric thiacrown ether ring structures are substituted with polymerized ethylenically unsaturated monomers and have from 4 to about 10 sulfur atoms on each of the crown rings. In some embodiments of the invention, a linkage &ldquo;M&rdquo; connects the thiacrown ether ring structures and the polymers and M is O; S; COO; C,to C,substituted or unsubstituted linear or branched alkylene wherein the substituent is OH, SH, F, Br, Cl, I, COOH, amine, mono- or di- C,to C,alkylamino, C,to C,lower alkanoylamino or nitro; or M is NR,where R,is H or C,to C,alkyl.

Thiacrown ether compound corrosion inhibitors for alkanolamine units

Thiacrown ether and polymeric thiacrown ether compounds are disclosed. The thiacrown ether ring structures are substituted and have from 4 to about 10 sulfur atoms on each of the crown rings. The polymeric thiacrown ether ring structures are substituted with polymers and have from 4 to about 10 sulfur atoms on each of the crown rings. The thiacrown compounds of the present invention are expected to have utility in a wide range of applications including but not limited to utility as metal ion chelating, sequestering, and complexing agents. The thiacrown compounds are also expected to have utility as corrosion inhibitors for cooling tower, boiler, and waste water systems, hydrocarbon process systems and metal surface treatments systems.
