  • Inhibiting Toxicity of Acid Systems Used for Treating Metals
    Publication number: 20160160361
    Abstract: In some examples of inhibiting toxicity of acid systems used for treating metals, a metal is pickled with a pickling composition that includes a first quantity of an acid and a second quantity of a corrosion inhibiting iodide salt. A mixture of the first quantity and the second quantity modify metallic properties of the pickled metal. The corrosion inhibiting iodide salt is added directly to the pickling composition independent of any other corrosion inhibitor or corrosion inhibiting polymer.

  • VDA/acid system for matrix acid stimulation
    Patent number: 8496061
    Abstract: A method of preventing phase separation of a viscoelastic surfactant fluid or diverting agent due to ferric ions during matrix acidizing of an oil well which involves the injection of both citric acid and acetic acid which prevents the separation of the viscoelastic diverting agent/acid with ferric ions which avoids damage to well productivity and/or injectivity.
