Performance and Mechanism of Alkylimidazolium Ionic Liquids as Corrosion Inhibitors for Copper in Sulfuric Acid Solution

The addition of corrosion inhibitors is an economic and environmental protection method to prevent the corrosion of copper. The adsorption, performance, and mechanism of three 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM]HSO₄, [HMIM]HSO₄, and [OMIM]HSO₄) ionic liquids (ILs) on the copper surface in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solutions were studied by quantum chemical calculation, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), and molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the main reactive site is located on the imidazolium ring (especially the C2, N4, and N7 groups). When the alkyl chain of the imidazolium ring is increasing, the molecular reactivity of the ILs and the interaction between the ILs inhibitor and copper surface are enhanced. The imidazole ring of the ILs tends to be adsorbed on Cu (111) surface in parallel through physical adsorption. The order of adsorption energy is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄, which is in agreement with the experimental order of corrosion efficiency. On the imidazole ring, the interaction between the copper surface and the C atom is greater than that between the copper surface and the N atom. It is found that ILs addition can hinder the diffusion of corrosion particles, reduce the number density of corrosion particles and slow down the corrosion rate. The order of inhibition ability of three ILs is [Bmim]HSO₄ < [Hmim]HSO₄ < [OMIM]HSO₄,which agree well with experimental results. A reliable QSAR correlation between the inhibition corrosion efficiency and molecular reactivity parameters of the ILs was established.     

Effect of the alkyl chain length on micelle formation for bis(N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylethylammonium)ether dibromides

Dimeric alkylammonium salts – gemini surfactants – due to their unusual very low critical micelle concentration and minimal inhibitory concentration are subject to intensive research as surface active and antimicrobial compounds. Thanks to the presence of two positively charged nitrogen atoms and a large molecular surface, gemini surfactants are also very efficient corrosion inhibitors. To strengthen the electrostatic adsorption of ammonium cations on a metal surface, which is a key parameter in the inhibition of corrosion, heteroatoms (O, S, N, or P) and π-electron systems can be introduced into the gemini surfactant structure to increase chemical adsorption. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the alkyl chain length and critical micelle concentration for gemini surfactants containing an oxygen atom in the spacer, that is, bis(N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylethylammonium)ether dibromides, for potential use as corrosion inhibitors.     

Electrochemical and Theoretical Studies of 1-Alkyl-2-substituted Benzimidazoles as Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel Surface in HCl Medium

The inhibition efficiencies of newly synthesized four 1-alkyl-2-substituted benzimidazole compounds(a~d) have been studied for the corrosion of carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl by using potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The four inhibitors act as mixed-type inhibitors,which mainly inhibit cathodes. The inhibition efficiency of these compounds enhanced when the concentration of the inhibitors increased. A theoretical study of the corrosion inhibition efficiency of these compounds was carried out by using the B3 LYP level with the 6-31+G* basis set. Considering the solvent effect,the IEFPCM model was selected. Furthermore,the adsorption energies of the inhibitors with the iron(001) surface were studied by using molecular dynamic(MD) simulations. The theoretical results show that these inhibitors all exhibit several adsorption active-centers. Meanwhile,the MD simulations indicate that the adsorption occurs mostly through benzene ring and the lone pair electrons of the nitro atoms. These results demonstrated that the theoretical studies and MD simulations are reliable and promising methods for analyzing the inhibition efficiency of organic inhibitors.     

Quaternary Ammonium Salts from Hydrolyzed Fatty Oil Based on Novel Tertiary Amines Used as Corrosion Inhibitors for Pipelines Carbon Steel at Acid Job in Petroleum Industry

Ten new quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) were designed and synthesized from hydrolyzed fatty oils; the hydrolyzed oils were used as a source of alkyl halides to prepare the QASs by refluxing the fatty alkyl halide with ethoxylated amines as untraditional 3° amines in acetone. The structure of the prepared QASs were characterized by FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The prepared cationic surfactants QASs were tested as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution. The corrosion inhibition efficiency was measured using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from the two employed methods are in good agreement with each other. In generally, the inhibition efficiency increased with increasing the inhibitor concentration. From the obtained data it was found that the inhibition efficiency of QASs, which, based on ethoxylated aromatic tertiary amine, is greater than the efficiencies of the QASs based on ethoxylated aliphatic tertiary amine. The QASs based on fatty alkyl halide from palm oil exhibited the best inhibition efficiency than QASs based on fatty alkyl halides from coconut oil. The potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated that the inhibitors are of mixed type. The adsorption of the inhibitors on the carbon steel surface in the acid solution was found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The free energy of adsorption processes was calculated and discussed. The surface active properties were calculated on the basic of surface tension measurements. The obtained data of inhibition efficiencies were discussed on the light of surface active properties of these QASs and their chemical structures. The quantum chemical calculations was proceeded for QHL1,4,5 and QHP3,4,5 the following quantum chemical indices such as the bond length, bond angle, charge density distribution, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), energy gap ΔE?HOMO –LUMO, and dipole moment (u) were considered.The surface morphology of carbon steel sample was investigated by scanning electron microscopy.     

The effect of some triazole derivatives as inhibitors for the corrosion of mild steel in 5 % hydrochloric acid

Corrosion inhibition by triazole derivatives (n-MMT) on mild steel in 5 % hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions has been investigated by weight loss and electrochemical methods. The results obtained revealed that these compounds performed excellently as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in HCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that they suppressed both the anodic and cathodic processes and inhibited the corrosion of mild steel by blocking the active site of the metal. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 5 % HCl with the addition of different concentrations of the inhibitors was studied in the temperature range from 303 to 333 K. The associated activation corrosion and free adsorption energies were determined. The adsorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The effect of molecular structure on the inhibition efficiency has been investigated by quantum chemical calculations. The electronic properties of inhibitors were calculated and are discussed.     

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.     

Anti‐corrosion properties of bis(benzimidazole) derivatives for N80 steel in H2S solution

In this work, we systematically investigated the effect of four bis(benzimidazole) derivatives containing different heteroatoms in molecular structures on inhibiting corrosion of N80 steel in 0.5 mmol·l^?1 H₂S solution by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and metallographic microscope. The results showed that within the range of 0.1–1.0 mmol·l^?1, the adsorption of bis(benzimidazole) derivatives on N80 steel surface was found to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Meanwhile, stable adsorbing monolayer between inhibitors and the metal surface was formed, which was confirmed by thermodynamic adsorption parameters (K_ads, ). This series of bis(benzimidazole) derivatives exhibited obvious corrosion inhibitory properties for N80 steel. Moreover, they could both slow down the anodic dissolution of iron and the cathodic reduction reaction as mixed type corrosion inhibitors. The optimal inhibition efficiency was obtained for 1,3‐bis(benzimidazl‐2‐yl)‐2‐thiapropane (BBMS). Hopefully, this series of inhibitors might find applications in anti‐corrosion and many other areas.

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of substituted triazines and their corrosion inhibition behavior on N80 steel/acid interface

The three substituted triazines were synthesized by ultrasound irradiation method and characterized by FTIR, ¹³C NMR, and ¹H NMR. The corrosion inhibition behavior of the synthesized inhibitors on N80 steel in 15% HCl was studied using electrochemical analyses and weight loss methods. All three inhibitors exhibited excellent corrosion inhibition performance, and the best inhibition effect was shown by TZ-3 (93.2% at 800 mg/L). EIS measurements suggest that the corrosion inhibition process is a charge transfer controlled. The PDP results indicated that all the triazines are mixed-type inhibitors. Langmuir adsorption model is the best fit among the other tested isotherms. These molecules can act as promising acidizing corrosion inhibitors for the oil gas industry. FTIR, AFM, and UV-vis studies corroborate the adsorption of inhibitor molecules over the metal surface.
