The INVESTIGATION OF VARIOUS PHOSPHATE CORROSION INHIBITORS IN CARBON DIOXIDE

Corrosion leads to huge losses every year, and solving this problem is an important task. One of the effective methods of corrosion protection of equipment and pipelines in the oil industry is the use of corrosion inhibitors. Inhibitory protection is the most technological and effective way to control corrosion of oilfield equipment. The article deals with phosphate corrosion inhibitors of complex action in a carbon dioxide environment. The method of corrosion testing is generally accepted. Quantitative indicators of corrosion processes were calculated using formulas, and the measurement uncertainty was estimated using an algorithm using the Student's coefficient with a confidence probability of 0.95. In the course of the work, potentiometric determination of the pH of corrosive media using a combined glass electrode and an ionomer, conductometric and photocolorimetric determination of the content of iron (III) with potassium rhodanide, as well as methods of infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy were carried out.

PRACTICAL COURSE ON PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL METHODS OF PEATS ANALYSIS AS AN ELEMENT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ADDITIONAL NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION AT SENIOR SCHOOL

Показана актуальность дополнительного естественно-научного образования с использованием экспериментальной работы обучающихся, основанной на региональных особенностях. Приведено понятие «региональный компонент содержания образования». Обоснован выбор тематики практикума по анализу торфов физико-химическими методами, содержание которого связано со специфическими особенностями Томской области по запасам торфа и накопленным опытом научных исследований по функционированию торфяно-болотных экосистем. Приведены цели, задачи практикума и тематика практических занятий. Описана методика проведения практических работ по определению ботанического состава торфов и его физико-химических характеристик. Разработаны вопросы анкетирования для выявления у обучающихся экспериментальных умений и знаний качественных химических реакций до проведения занятий практикума и после их завершения, представлены полученные результаты. На основе анкетирования обучающихся выявлено их отношение к тематике практикума и его содержанию. Результаты анкетирования свидетельствуют об эффективности проведения экспериментальной работы на занятиях. The importance of additional education in modern school is characterized. The relevance of additional science education using the experimental work of students based on regional characteristics is shown. The concept of “regional component of the content of education” is given. The choice of the topics of practical works on peat analysis by physicochemical methods is substantiated, the content of which is determined by the specific features of the Tomsk Region in terms of peat reserves and the accumulated experience of scientific research on the functioning of peat-swamp ecosystems. The goals, objectives and a list of topics of practical training are presented. The methodology for conducting practical work to determine the composition of peat, its physico-chemical characteristics: the degree of decomposition, moisture, ash, metabolic acidity, the determination of magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, nitrogen (ammonium ions and nitrate ions) is described. The physicochemical methods used in the practical work are indicated: titrimetric (determination of magnesium and calcium), potentiometric (exchange peat acidity), photocolorimetric (determination of ammonium and nitrate ions), mobile compounds of iron and phosphorus) methods. Questions have been developed to identify students’ experimental skills and knowledge of qualitative chemical reactions before and after the practical work, and the results are presented. Questioning revealed an improvement in the level of all experimental skills by an average of 37 %. The attitude of students to the subject of the practical work, its content, as well as interest in conducting experimental work were identified on the basis of their questionnaire.

Photocolorimetric determination of zirconium microcontent in the products of linear alpha-olefins production

Analytical control of the technological process of linear alpha-olefins (LAO) production using a zirconium carboxylate based catalyst according to α-SABLIN technology calls for determination of the residual zirconium in the solvent when washing equipment, in the reaction products and wastewater, the purity of which is strictly regulated. Features of photocolorimetric determination of zirconium impurities with different complexing agents are considered and sensitivity of the determination with iron, aluminum, nickel and chromium present is estimated by comparing the values of the «sensitivity index» (by E. Sendel) and «specific absorption» (by Z. Marchenko). The reaction of complex formation with arsenazo III in 9 – 10 M HCl is used for determination of zirconium in the LAO production related products. The resulting colored complex exhibits the maximum light absorption at a wavelength of 670 nm. The measured content ranges from 0.100 to 100 mg/kg, 103-fold amounts of Ni2+, Fe3+, Al3+ and 400-fold amounts of Cr3+ do not interfere with the determination. The method of additives is used to eliminate the interfering effect of the acidity of the medium. It is shown that the developed technique provides a satisfactory level of the reproducibility and correctness of the results for analytical control of LAO production.
