Understanding and improving rare earth corrosion inhibitors

本项目旨在通过化学与材料科学的交叉学科研究稀土缓蚀剂。 该项目将产生关于稀土缓蚀剂如何发挥作用以及如何改进的新知识。 预期成果包括更好地理解抑制剂诱导的保护膜和改进的抑制剂。 显著的好处是最终更好地保护基础设施免受绿色抑制剂的腐蚀，以及稀土的新的大量使用，以帮助澳大利亚新兴的稀土工业。

This project aims to investigate rare earth corrosion inhibitors by an interdisciplinary program of chemistry and materials science. The project will generate new knowledge as to how rare earth corrosion inhibitors function and can be improved. Expected outcomes include a better understanding of inhibitor induced protective films and improved inhibitors. Significant benefits are eventually better protection of infrastructure from corrosion with greener inhibitors and a new bulk use for rare earths to aid Australia’s emerging rare earth industry.
