In order to deal with the long-term corrosion problems in the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) using alkylol amines, perfecting the corrosion parameters is necessary. The tafel curves of carbon steel in carbonated N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)-monoethanolamine (MEA) aqueous solutions were investigated by using the CHI602E electrochemical analyzer. Then the corresponding corrosion rates were calculated. The temperatures ranged from 303.2K to 323.2K. The mass fractions of MDEA and MEA respectively ranged from 0.30 to 0.40 and 0-0.10. The CO 2 loading ranged from 0.1 to 0.4. The effects of temperatures, mass fractions and CO 2 loadings on the corrosion rates were demonstrated. Results showed that corrosion rates increase with increasing temperatures, mass fractions and CO 2 loadings. Moreover, the corrosion rates of carbon steel in carbonated MDEA-MEA aqueous solutions are obviously less than the corrosion rates in pure MDEA.
