The invention relates to a process making it possible to reduce the corrosion of metals and alloys of heat exchanger circuits where aqueous heat transfer fluids are circulating and which may contain anti-freeze products. The process consists in mixing with these aqueous heat transfer fluids on the one hand from 0.05 to 5 percent by weight of one or more salts of alkali metals or of amines of dicarboxylic aliphatic acids of the formula (CH.sub.2)n(COOH).sub.2 in which n is comprised between 2 and 10 and on the other hand from 0.05 to 2.5 percent by weight of one or more polyols comprising a number of carbon atoms between 5 and 12 and a number of alcohol functions between 5 and 12 and possessing no reducing power.

Process for the treatment of aqueous fluids to reduce corrosion

Process for the preparation of addition products of epoxides and hydroxylated compounds, characterized by the fact that it comprises the reaction of an epoxide and a hydroxylated compound in the homogeneous liquid phase, in the presence, as catalyst, of a salt of trifluoromethanesulphonic acid.
