Disclosed are methods for inhibiting the corrosion of metal containments such as carbon-steel pipes used in oil recovery processes, the methods comprising adding urine and/or compositions comprising urine to water sources to form corrosion inhibitor compositions, and contacting metal containments with the corrosion inhibitor compositions. The water sources are for example aqueous solutions that are corrosive to metal containments such as carbon-steel pipes. Compositions comprising urine that provide reduced corrosion or corrosion inhibition are also described. Metal containment assemblages comprising corrosion inhibitor compositions and a metal containment are also described.

A composition and method of inhibiting corrosion, white rust, and scale formation on components in a water system. The composition preferably comprises an amino-acid based polymer (most preferably a polyaspartic acid or a salt thereof), hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid, and a second phosphonic acid (preferably a phosphonocarboxylic acid), and does not require the use of regulated metals. The composition is effective even in the presence of biocides. A preferred method of inhibiting white rust comprises adding an amino-acid based polymer or hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid or both to the water system. A preferred method of inhibiting corrosion, white rust, and scale formation comprises adding an amino-acid based polymer, hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid, and a phosphonocarboxylic acid to the water system. Preferably the active concentrations are at least 3 ppm each of the amino-acid based polymer and hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid when added to a volume of water in the water system.

A cleaning liquid for lithography that is capable of removing residual material which remains after an etching process, as well as suppressing corrosion of at least one of cobalt and alloys thereof, and a method for cleaning a substrate using the cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid for lithography includes hydroxylamine, at least one basic compound selected from amine compounds other than hydroxylamine, and quaternary ammonium hydroxides, and water, and has a pH value of 8 or higher. The cleaning liquid is used in cleaning a substrate containing at least one of cobalt and alloys thereof.
