Corrosion Inhibition of S275 Carbon Steel in CO2 Capture Systems Using Monoethanolamine (MEA) Solvent

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Corrosion inhibitors CuSO4 and NaVO3 achieved up to 98% inhibition efficiency for carbon steel S275 in CO2‐loaded MEA solvent, reducing corrosion rates to 9.4 µm/year—outperforming costly stainless steel SS 316 L at a fraction of the cost. ABSTRACT Corrosion in CO2 capture units significantly impacts safety and costs.

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...
