Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A method of inhibiting corrosion of metals which contact aqueous containing fluids which comprises, adding to the fluid a synergistic mixture of water soluble cations in a corrosion inhibiting amount, said synergistic mixture consisting essentially of a mercuric cation and a metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group IB metals, Group IIB metals, and lead; and contacting the metal with the corrosion inhibiting fluid.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
66 words
A method of inhibiting corrosion of metals which contact aqueous containing fluids which comprises, adding to the fluid a synergistic mixture of water soluble cations in a corrosion inhibiting amount, said synergistic mixture consisting essentially of a mercuric cation and a metal cation selected from the group consisting of Group IB metals, Group IIB metals, and lead; and contacting the metal with the corrosion inhibiting fluid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said fluid is an aqueous chloride-ion containing fluid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein said water-soluble mercuric ion is a member of the group consisting of mercuric nitrate, mercuric acetate and mercuric cyanide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein the concentration of mercuric ion is from 2 parts per million to 5,000 parts per million and the concentration of water-soluble metal cation is from 1 part per million to 50,000 parts per million.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein said water-soluble metal cation is selected from the group consisting of zinc, cadmium, copper, gold, silver and lead.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said metal is selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, carbon steel, iron and aluminum.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein the concentration of mercuric ion is from 10 ppm. to 1,000 ppm. and the concentration of water-soluble metal cation is from 5 ppm. to 10,000 ppm.
