A systematic study is undertaken to study the corrosion behavior of three different steels (X65 carbon steel 1Cr steel and 5Cr steel) that could be considered as pipeline/tubular materials for the transport and/or injection of supercritical CO2 for carbon capture and storage (CCS) applications. The purpose of the research is to establish the influence of low Cr-bearing steels on the critical water content required to avoid substantial levels of internal corrosion in an impure supercritical CO2 system containing sulphur dioxide (SO2). Experiments were performed in autoclaves containing supercritical CO2 at 80 bar and 35°C in the presence of 100 ppm (mole) SO2 under various levels of humidity from 0 to 100%. General and localized corrosion rates for all three materials were determined over a period of 48 hours through the implementation of gravimetric analysis and surface profilometry respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were all implemented to assist in identifying surface corrosion products. For all three steels evaluated the results indicate that 5Cr steel enables a higher critical water content to be tolerated before a general corrosion rate of 0.1 mm/year is reached in the presence of 100 ppm SO2. The results show that for each material tested the water content required to avoid excessive localized corrosion in these specific environments is far less than that to prevent significant general corrosion. No corrosion attack was observed at a water content of 650 ppm for 5Cr steel while X65 and 1 Cr produced signs of corrosion. The research presented highlights that one option for controlling the corrosion rate under specific impure supercritical CO2 conditions may be through the implementation low Cr steels which do not impose a significant cost penalty compared to corrosion resistant alloys.
