The corrosion behavior of carbon steel has been tested in the presence of sodium thiosulfate and sodium sulfide in an MDEA-based CO<sub>2sub> capture system using electrochemical methods, weight loss measurements and surface analysis. The results of electrochemical measurements revealed that both thiosulfate and sulfide showed corrosion resistance properties to carbon steel corrosion. The corrosion resistance for the system with thiosulfate increased with concentration, while the system with sulfide yielded better corrosion resistance to carbon steel at lower concentrations as increase in sulfide concentration decreased the corrosion resistance. The corrosion inhibition behaviors for both systems at 0.05 M salt concentrations were confirmed by weight loss measurement, and the solution with sodium sulfide exhibited a better inhibition with time.
