Corrosion inhibition studies on mild steel in HCl by a newly synthesized benzil monohydrazone based Schiff base

The corrosion inhibition effect of newly formulated Schiff base 2-((E)-((E)-2-hydrazone-1, 2-diphenylethylidene) amino phenol) (HDAP) ligand L derived from Benzil monohydrazone and 2-Aminophenol on mild steel in 1 ​M HCl was examined. Electrochemical (Tafel and EIS) and mass loss techniques were employed to evaluate its corrosion protection efficiency. The inhibition efficiency (η %) was elevated with raise in concentration of compound L.Maximum inhibition efficiency of 94.18% was obtained at 0.01 ​M concentration of HDAP from Tafel polarisation curve. From electrochemical impedance (EIS) studies, it was confirmed that increase in concentration of HDAP led to enhancement of the charge transfer resistance. Both physical and chemical types of adsorptions were observed for the Schiff base via π-bonding electrons which obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The SEM picture revealed development of a thin layer on metallic surface. Quantum chemical evaluations were conducted to find out the mechanism of corrosion retardation power of HDAP.     

Utilization of biowaste as an eco-friendly biodegradable corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 mol/L HCl solution

This report focuses on the application of a biodegradable biowaste [human hair-(HHR)], to produce a mild steel corrosion inhibitor. The performance of HHR extract in inhibiting metallic corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl was investigated. The analysis of the metal corrosion behavior using electrochemical and weight loss techniques revealed that HHR exhibits an efficient corrosion-mitigating effect via adsorption on the metal surface following a Langmuir isotherm. Tafel-plot results revealed the mixed-mode corrosion protection behavior of HHR. Surface analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy provided evidence for the precipitation of a protective HHR film on the metal surface.     

Adsorption and inhibitive properties of aminobiphenyl and its Schiff base on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M HCl medium

Electrochemical measurements were performed to investigate the effectiveness and adsorption behaviour of aminobiphenyl (Aph) and 2-(3-hydroxybenzylideneamino)biphenyl (Aph-S), as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M HCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization resistance (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were applied to study the metal corrosion behaviour in the absence and presence of different concentrations of Aph and Aph-S. In order to gain more information about adsorption mechanism the AC impedance technique was used to evaluate the potential of zero charge (PZC) from polarization resistance (R_p) versus voltage (E) plot. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed that Aph act as cathodic type inhibitor where as Aph-S act mixed type. The inhibition efficiency (IE%) increases with increasing concentration of compounds and reached 92.6% for Aph and 97.2% for Aph-S at 5 × 10⁻³ M. Double layer capacitance (C_dl) and polarization resistance (R_p) values are derived from Nyquist plots obtained from AC impedance studies. The experimental data fit Langmuir isotherm for both Aph and Aph-S, and from the adsorption isotherm some thermodynamic data for the adsorption processes are calculated and discussed. The effect of exposure time on the corrosion behaviour of mild steel in the absence and presence of inhibitor over 168 h was also studied.     

Inhibition of aluminium and mild steel corrosion in acidic medium using Gum Arabic

The corrosion behaviour of mild steel and aluminium exposed to H₂SO₄ solution and their inhibition in H₂SO₄ containing 0.1–0.5 g/L Gum Arabic (GA) used as inhibitor was studied at temperature range of 30–60 °C using weight loss and thermometric techniques. Corrosion rate increased both in the absence and presence of inhibitor with increase in temperature. Corrosion rate was also found to decrease in the presence of inhibitor compared to the free acid solution. Inhibition efficiency increases with increase in concentration of the inhibitor reaching a maximum of 37.88% at 60 °C for mild steel and 79.69% at 30 °C for aluminium at 0.5 g/L concentration of GA. The inhibitor, GA was found to obey Temkin and El-Awady et al. thermodynamic kinetic adsorption isotherm for mild steel and aluminium respectively from the fit of the experimental data at all concentrations and temperatures studied. The phenomenon of chemical adsorption is proposed for mild steel corrosion, while physical adsorption mechanism is proposed for aluminium corrosion. Results obtained for the kinetic/thermodynamic studies indicate that the adsorption of GA onto the metals surface was spontaneous. GA is a better corrosion inhibitor for aluminium than for mild steel.     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of adsorption and inhibition properties of 2-Amino-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol against corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution on mild steel

In this work, 2-Amino-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol (2-ATD) as novel and high efficiency corrosion inhibitor has been investigated for mild steel (MS) corrosion in 0.5 M HCl solution using electrochemical methods, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disperse X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quantum chemical calculation methods. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) curves indicate that 2-ATD is mixed type inhibitor, corrosion inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration and reached its value of 96.5%. Evolution of exposure time versus corrosion behavior of 2-ATD is examined in corrosive medium. While corrosion potential (E_corr) shifted more negative values, polarization resistances (R_p) decreased after 120 h exposure time due to the corrosion process. H₂ volume is measured in uninhibited and inhibited solutions (10 mM 2-ATD) after 120 h exposure time. Very low volume (3.6 mL cm⁻²) of H₂ is obtained on MS electrode in inhibited solution after 120 h of exposure, indicating that 2-ATD covers the entire surface against aggressive attack and retards the both anodic dissolution of MS and cathodic hydrogen evolution reactions. The adsorption process proposal is the Langmuir isotherm which is most suitable. Adsorption and thermodynamic parameters show that 2-ATD has a strong adsorption effect onto MS surface and includes mixed adsorption style (physical and chemical). Corrosion current density increases with increasing temperature and high activation energy (Ea) proves the strong adsorption of 2-ATD on the MS surface. Anti-corrosion mechanism of 2-ATD is described more detail with the potential of zero charge method. SEM, EDX and AFM analysis support the obtained results of electrochemical methods and confirm the existence of protective layer and strong adsorption of 2-ATD on the MS surface. Chronoamperometry test shows that current densities are almost constant whole experiment in the presence of organic film. Finally, quantum chemical calculation method of 2-ATD in blank solution is performed to investigate the active sites for possible attachment with MS surface.     

An experimental and theoretical investigation on adsorption properties of some diphenolic Schiff bases as corrosion inhibitors at acidic solution/mild steel interface

The effect of novel synthesized three Schiff bases, namely, 1,3-bis[2-(2-hydroxy benzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P1), 1,3-bis[2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P2), and 1,3-bis[2-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidenamino) phenoxy] propane (P3), on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Polarization measurements suggest that P1 acts as mixed type inhibitor while P2 and P3 behave as mainly cathodic inhibitors for acidic corrosion of steel. All electrochemical measurements show that inhibition efficiencies increase with increase in inhibitor concentration. This reveals that inhibitive actions of inhibitors were mainly due to adsorption on steel surface. Adsorption of these inhibitors follows Temkin adsorption isotherm. The correlation between the adsorption ability of inhibitors and their molecular structures has been investigated using quantum chemical parameters obtained by MNDO semi-empirical method. Calculated quantum chemical parameters indicate that Schiff bases adsorbed on steel surface by chemical mechanism.

Scanning electron microscopy observations of the steel surface confirmed the protective role of the inhibitor. The polarization curves showed that betanin behaves mainly as a mixed-type inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency (98%) is obtained at betanin concentrations of 0.01 M. The results obtained from weight loss, polarization, and impedance measurements are in good agreement.

The influence of the alkaloid extract of Kopsia singapurensis on the corrosion behavior of mild steel (MS) in 1 mol·L-1 HCl and 1 mol·L-1 H2SO4 was studied using electrochemical techniques, viz., potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance. The experimental results clearly show that the plant extract effectively inhibits corrosion in both acid media and the inhibition efficiency obtained from the electrochemical techniques is in good agreement. Furthermore, the polarization technique indicates that the extract acts as an anodic type inhibitor in HCl and as a mixed type in H2SO4. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out to examine the surface morphological changes of metal specimens in both the inhibited and uninhibited solutions. SEM images show the formation of an adsorbed layer over the metal surface by the inhibitor molecule. The presence of alkaloidal constituents in the plant extract was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and chemical analysis.

Corrosion inhibition effect of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and 2-aminobenzothiazole (ABT) compounds on ST-37 carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and it was observed that both of these compounds have corrosion inhibition effect on carbon steel. Evaluation of electrochemical behavior in test solutions showed that by increasing the immersion time from 15 to 300 min, corrosion resistance of samples is increased and at the same immersion time MBT has a better corrosion inhibition in comparison to ABT. AFM technique was performed for MBT and ABT. The results of calculations showed superior inhibition efficiency of MBT in comparison to ABT. This can cause easier protonation and consequently adsorption on the metal surface occurs.     

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. C), as possible corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl, has been determined by weight loss and electrochemical measurements. These compounds inhibit corrosion even at very low concentrations, and 2-(p-toluidinylmethyl)-5-methyl furan (Inh. A) is the best inhibitor. Polarization curves indicate that all compounds are mixed-type inhibitors, affecting both cathodic and anodic corrosion currents. Adsorption of furan derivatives on the mild steel surface follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the calculated Gibbs free energy values confirm the chemical nature of the adsorption. Monte Carlo simulations technique incorporating molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics can be used to simulate the adsorption of furan derivatives on mild steel surface in 1.0 M HCl.

The inhibition efficiency of 2-Pyrrolidin-1-yl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (PTCA) against mild steel (MS) corrosion was investigated in acidic solution by using quantum chemical calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) method and electrochemical measurements. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic, potential zero charge (pzc) analysis and electrochemical noise (EN) measurements at various concentrations (from 0.1 to 10 mM) and immersion times were utilized in experimental part.

According to DFT results, PTCA exhibited 3.737 eV band gap and 8.130 Debye dipole moment which were a signal of potentially convenient corrosion inhibitor properties. PTCA has a remarkable corrosion inhibition capability to mild steel, which inhibited both anodic and cathodic corrosion rates, relying on it's physically adsorption on the metal solution interface and protection ability was increased with increasing PTCA concentration. The obtained adsorption equilibrium constant was 11.11 × 10³ M^-1 and calculated standard free energy of adsorption was ?33.03 kJ mol^?1. The determined activation energy values were 55.58 kJ mol^?1 and 96.86 kJ mol^?1 in 0.5 M HCl in the absence and presence of 10 mM PTCA, respectively. PTCA demonstrated a strong inhibition efficiency of 98.3%, after 168 h immersion, according to the EIS results. As a consequently, we recommend that PTCA is a convenient inhibitor in 0.1 M HCl for mild steel protection against corrosion.

A new novel organic corrosion inhibitor N-[4-(1,3-benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)phenyl]quinoline-6-carboxamide (NBCPQC) has been synthesized. The synthesized novel organic inhibitor NBCPQC used to be carried out on mild steel corrosion in 1N HCl for the first time. The studied inhibitor was once evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1N of HCl solution using electrochemical research which advocated that a protective film is form by the process of inhibitor absorption on the surface of mild steel. Inhibitor shows a better inhibiton efficiency of maximum above 90% in 1N HCl medium. Inhibitors show a better efficiency by way of reducing and sluggish down the corrosion process however on growing the temperature it is weakened on controlling corrosion. In addition to this adsorption isothermal models had been interpreted to fit the adsorption behaviour of the inhibitor compound on mild steel surface. Thus the result reveals that the compound shows a Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
