Plant extracts are currently being used as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. In this study, the inhibitive performance of Xylocarpus Moluccensis extract (XME) was used as an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for the first time. The extract was studied using electrochemical measurement on mild steel in 1M HCl. Results from FIR and phytochemical confirmed that Xylocarpus Moluccensis extract contains compound hydroxyl group, phenolic, and flavonoid content which can be used as a corrosion inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency was determined using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and showed 68% efficiency in 500 ppm. Langmuir adsorption isotherm was used to determine the adsorption mechanism of XME. Surface characterization (AFM) was also used to study the surface morphology of protective film inhibitors.

All the plant extracts inhibited the corrosion of mild steel in acidic media through adsorption and act as mixed-type inhibitors.     

Surface morphological and impedance spectroscopic studies on the interaction of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with mild steel in acid solutions

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in aerated acid mixture of 0.5 N H₂SO₄ and 0.5 N HCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization studies, linear polarization studies, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, adsorption, and surface morphological studies. The effect of inhibitor concentration on corrosion rate, degree of surface coverage, adsorption kinetics, and surface morphology is investigated. The inhibition efficiency increased markedly with increase in additive concentration. The presence of PEG and PVP decreases the double-layer capacitance and increases the charge-transfer resistance. The inhibitor molecules first adsorb on the metal surface following a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Both PEG and PVP offer good inhibition properties for mild steel and act as mixed-type inhibitors. Surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that PVP offers better protection than PEG.     

The litchi (Litchi Chinensis) peels extract as a potential green inhibitor in prevention of corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution by the extract of litchi peel (Litchi chinensis) was studied by weight loss method, potentiodynamics polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the litchi peels extract acts as mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition of corrosion is found to be due to adsorption of the extract on metal surface, which is in conformity with Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. UV–Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies confirm that the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel occurs through adsorption of the inhibitor molecules.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to characterize the mild steel surface. The test results showed that the complex and ligand are mixed-type inhibitors and the compounds are adsorbed on the steel surface according to Temkin adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency of the inhibitors follows the trend Co-bipy > bipy. The adsorption of the inhibitors can be classifies as physical adsorption.     

Electrochemical investigation of a schiff base synthesized by cinnamaldehyde as corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in acidic medium

The inhibiting effect of (NE)-4-phenoxy-N-(3-phenylallylidene) aniline (PAC) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl has been studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel polarization measurements. The corrosion rate was also calculated theoretically in terms of mm per year and mil per year, using current density values of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl medium. It was found that PAC has a remarkable inhibition efficiency on the corrosion of mild steel especially at high temperatures. The values of E _a obtained in presence of a Schiff base were found to be lower than those obtained in the inhibitor-free solution. The increase of inhibition efficiency percent with temperature increase was associated with the transformation of physical adsorption into chemical adsorption. The thermodynamic functions of adsorption processes have been evaluated and discussed at each temperature. Scanning electron microscope observations of the electrode surface confirmed the existence of a protective adsorbed film of the inhibitor on the electrode surface.     

Electroanalytical studies of the corrosion-protection properties of 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dimethanol (ATD) on mild steel in 0.5?N sulfuric acid

Inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in aerated 0.5?N H₂SO₄ solution by 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dimethanol (ATD) was investigated by use of potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, adsorption, and surface morphological studies. The effects on the rate of corrosion of inhibitor concentration, temperature, extent of surface coverage, adsorption kinetics, and surface morphology were investigated. Inhibition efficiency increased markedly with increasing ATD concentration and decreased slightly with increasing temperature. The presence of ATD reduced the capacitance of the double layer and increased the charge-transfer resistance. Values of the activation energy (E _a) and of the thermodynamic data adsorption equilibrium constant (K _ads) and free energy of adsorption (??G _ads) were computed from the temperature dependence of the corrosion current. The inhibitor molecule first became adsorbed on the mild steel surface, obeying the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and substantially reduced the rate of corrosion. Results of electroanalytical studies revealed that ATD acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.

Studies on the inhibitive effect of potassium ferrocyanide on the corrosion of steel in phosphoric acid

In this work, the effect of potassium ferrocyanide (Pf) on the corrosion of mild steel in solutions of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) has been investigated in relation to the concentration of the inhibitor by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance (EIS) measurements. The results obtained revealed that this compound is good a mixed-type inhibitor. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior with the addition of optimal concentration of Pf was studied in the temperature range 298–328 K. The value of inhibition efficiency decreases slightly with the increase in temperature. Changes in impedance parameters (charge transfer resistance, R _t, and double layer capacitance, C _dl) were indicative of adsorption of Pf on the metal surface, leading to the formation of a protective film. Adsorption of Pf on the C38 steel surface was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Some thermodynamic functions of dissolution and adsorption processes were also determined.

The inhibitive action of ethanol extracts from leaves (LV), bark (BK) and roots (RT) of Nauclea latifolia on mild steel corrosion in H₂SO₄ solutions at 30–60 °C was studied using weight loss and gasometric techniques. The extracts were found to inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄ solutions and the inhibition efficiencies of the extracts follow the trend: RT > LV > BK. The inhibition efficiency increased with the extracts concentration but decreased with temperature rise. Physical adsorption of the phytochemical components of the plant on the metal surface is proposed as the mechanism of inhibition. The adsorption characteristics of the inhibitor were approximated by the thermodynamic-kinetic model of El-Awady et al.     

Effect of the alkyl chain of quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants on corrosion inhibition in hydrochloric acid solution

In this study, the effect of the alkyl chain of quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants on corrosion inhibition in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution was investigated by using dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC), tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (TTAC), cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC), and octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) as corrosion inhibitors to uncover their structure–efficiency relationships. The effect of the alkyl chain of quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants on corrosion inhibition in HCl solution was studied under different conditions, such as corrosion inhibitor concentration, temperature, and acidity, and this was done using the weightlessness method. The results obtained show that these inhibitors have high corrosion inhibition effect on A₃ steel, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency is dependent on the length of the alkyl chain. At the same concentration, the longer the alkyl chain, the weaker the corrosion inhibition effect. When the temperature was 50 °C and the concentration of corrosion inhibitor was 70 mg/L, the corrosion inhibition efficiency order of the four cationic surfactants was DTAC > TTAC > CTAC > OTAC. Besides, the experimental results obtained show that the adsorption of the inhibitor on the A₃ steel surface conforms to the Langmuir type isotherm, and then the corresponding adsorption thermodynamic parameters were obtained according to these parameters. It was observed that ΔH, ΔS, and E_a increased with increase in the length of the alkyl chain. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the steel surface is an exothermic, spontaneous, entropy process.

Experimental,Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solutions

The efficiency of three furan derivatives, namely 2-(p-toluidinylmethyl)-5-methyl furan (Inh. A), 2-(p-toluidinylmethyl)-5-nitro furan (Inh. B) and 2-(p-toluidinylmethyl)-5-bromo furan (Inh.

Effect of three 2-allyl-p-mentha-6,8-dien-2-ols on inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl

2-Allyl-p-mentha-6,8-dien-2-ols P1−P3 synthesized from carvone P are tested as corrosion inhibitors of steel in 1 M HCl using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarisation and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The addition of 2-allyl-p-mentha-6,8-dien-2-ols reduced the corrosion rate.

From the adsorption isotherm some thermodynamic data for the adsorption process are calculated and discussed. EIS measurements show the increase of the charge-transfer resistance with the inhibitor concentration. The highest inhibition efficiency (92%) is obtained for P1 at 3 g/L. The corrosion rate decreases with the rise of temperature. The corresponding activation energies are determined.
