Abstract

This article investigates the influence of inorganic electrolyte solutions on the efficiency of cleaning steel surfaces from oil contamination. Using an electrochemical method, it was demonstrated that electrolyte solutions, compared with pure water, significantly reduce free surface energy at the metal–solution interface due to the formation of a double electric layer and oxidation of the metal surface. However, complete cleaning is hindered by the presence of an oil barrier, the overcoming of which requires combined use of electrolytes and organic surfactants. Future research will be devoted to studying this combined effect on the cleaning process.
