| الملخص: | <p dir="ltr">The oil and gas industry urgently needs greener, smarter solutions to combat the dual challenges of inorganic scale formation and corrosion of metallic infrastructure. In this work, we introduce a novel, dual-functional, phosphorus-free corrosion and <u>scale inhibitor</u> derived from the in situ dicarboxylation of <u>inulin</u> through an environmentally benign two-step <u>oxidation</u> strategy. Inulin was efficiently converted into a highly functionalized dicarboxylated <u>biopolymer</u> through a selective sodium <u>periodate oxidation</u> followed by Pinnick oxidation, while maintaining the integrity of its backbone structure, as confirmed by FT-IR and<sup>1</sup>H <u>NMR spectroscopy</u>. The dicarboxylated <u>inulin</u> formed a resilient, protective film on carbon steel surfaces, as revealed by <u>electrochemical impedance spectroscopy</u> (EIS), with<u> adsorption behavior</u> fitting the Langmuir isotherm and a ΔG°<sub>ads</sub> of −39.32 kJ·mol<sup>−1</sup>, highlighting a strong <u>chemisorption</u> process supplemented by<u> physisorption </u>with <u>corrosion inhibition</u> efficiency of 94.5 % at 100 ppm. Interestingly, the resulting dicarboxylated inulin exhibited excellent inhibition performance against gypsum scale at low inhibitor concentrations, following the <u>NACE</u> Standard TM0374–2007 protocol. Additionally, it demonstrated a remarkable 90 % inhibition efficiency against <u>calcite</u> scaling, outperforming commercially available carboxymethyl inulin at the same tested concentration. The dicarboxylated inulin also showcased outstanding compatibility under high‑calcium brine conditions, maintaining performance even at inhibitor dosages up to 10,000 ppm.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Carbohydrate Polymers<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2025.124022" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2025.124022</a></p> |
