Inhibition effect of environmentally benign Karanj (Pongamia pinnata) seed extract on corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution by the seed extract of Karanj (Pongamia pinnata) has been studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and linear polarization techniques. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the extract. The effect of temperature, immersion time, and acid concentration on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1 M HCl with addition of extract was also studied. The adsorption of the extract on the mild steel surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Values of inhibition efficiency calculated from weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are in good agreement. Polarization curves showed that Karanj (P. pinnata) seed extract behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor in hydrochloric acid. The activation energy as well as other thermodynamic parameters for the inhibition process was calculated. The adsorbed film on mild steel surface containing Karanj (P. pinnata) seed extract inhibitor was also measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results obtained showed that the seed extract of Karanj (P. pinnata) could serve as an effective inhibitor of the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid media.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on protecting steel against 0.5 M H2SO4 corrosion by new schiff base

In this study, a novel green corrosion inhibitor called 2,2'-((1Z,1′Z)-((piperazine-1,4-diylbis(2,1-phenylene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(azanylylidene)) (PMA) has been tested against corrosion of carbon steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄. Quantum and electrochemical methods were used to evaluate PMA's ability to inhibit the deterioration of carbon steel in an acidic environment. The results revealed that PMA acted as a mixed inhibitor, primarily anodic, whose inhibition action was enhanced by increasing its concentration. At 298.15 K, the maximum efficiency was around 91% with 1 × 10^?3 M PMA in 0.5 M H₂SO₄. The results showed that the inhibition occurred due to adsorption of the PMA molecules on the surface. The adsorbed layer of PMA satisfied the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The morphology of the surface was examined using scanning electron microscopy.     

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by highly stable polydentate schiff base derived from 1,3- propanediamine in aqueous acidic solution

Recently, the hydrolysis of Schiff bases under experimental conditions gives suspicion for their corrosion inhibition performance. The current study employs a stable Schiff base namely, 2,2′-{propane-1,3-diylbis[azanylylidene (E) methanylylidene]}bis(6-methoxyphenol) (LPD) as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl solution. The presence of the characteristic peak of the imine group in UV-visible spectra was taken as an indicator for LPD stability in acidic media. The inhibition action was examined using electrochemical techniques including potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) besides gravimetric measurement. The inhibition efficiency reached 95.93 % for 0.75 mM LPD after 24 h of immersion at 25 °C. This high efficiency is owing to the presence of the characteristic imine group and other heteroatoms and π- electrons of the aromatic benzene rings. The mechanism of inhibition depends on adsorption phenomena on mild steel surface which obeys Langmuir isotherm model. The calculated values of adsorption equilibrium constant (K_ads), adsorption free energy ΔG_ads, adsorption enthalpy ΔH_ads and adsorption entropy ΔS_ads indicated spontaneous exothermic adsorption process of both physical and chemical nature. By rising temperature, the inhibition efficiency of LPD was decreased. The calculated activation energy was increased as the concentration of LPD increased. LPD was considered as a mixed-type inhibitor as indicated from PDP measurements. The obtained surface morphology and composition analysis using SEM/EDS, AFM and FTIR techniques ensures the high efficiency of LPD as corrosion inhibitor.

Xanthione: A new and effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in sulphuric acid solution

The adsorption and inhibition effect of xanthione (XION) on mild steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ at 303–333 K were studied using gravimetric and UV–visible spectrophotometric methods. The results obtained show that XION acts as an effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in sulphuric acid and inhibition efficiency reaches 98.0% at a very low inhibitor concentration of 10 μM. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in XION concentration but decreased with temperature suggesting physical adsorption mechanism. Arrhenius law and its transition equation lead to estimate the activation parameters of the corrosion process. XION inhibits the corrosion of mild steel effectively at moderate temperature and adsorbs according to the Langmuir isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters governing the adsorption process have been calculated and discussed. The UV–visible absorption spectra of the solution containing the inhibitor after the immersion of mild steel specimen indicate the formation of a XEN–Fe complex. Attempt to correlate the molecular structure to quantum chemical indices was made using density functional theory (DFT).     

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.

This research deals with the inhibition activity of glutathione in 0.5 M HCl on the corrosion behavior of 6061Al-SiC_(p) composite. Glutathione is an eco-friendly water-soluble inhibitor. Polarization results reveal the cathodic inhibitor behavior of glutathione (Gt). The inhibition performance of Gt increases by increasing its concentration and lowering the medium temperature. The decrease in the corrosion current density and increase in inhibition efficiency on increasing Gt concentration reveal the attenuation of composite corrosion. Experimental results indicate the mixed adsorption with predominantly physisorption of Gt molecules adsorption on the composite surface following Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The impedance measurements indicate the rise in polarization resistance with an increase in Gt concentration, showing the control of composite corrosion. The surface analysis of the corroded and inhibited composite samples using a scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope supports Gt molecules’ adsorption. The quantum chemical calculations confirm the conclusions of the experimental studies.

     

Corrosion inhibition behavior of cefuzonam at mild steel/HCl acid interface

The adsorption and corrosion inhibition behavior of cefuzonam (CZM) at mild steel surface were studied gravimetrically and electrochemically by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization techniques. The increase in concentration and immersion time showed a positive effect. Inhibitor molecules directly adsorb on the surface on the basis of donor acceptor interactions between the p-electrons of benzene, sulfur and nitrogen atoms and the vacant d-orbital of iron atoms. The adsorption of CZM followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. A potentiodynamic polarization study revealed that CZM acted as mixed type of inhibitor. The results obtained from different methods are in good agreement. The adsorption behavior of CZM was experimentally investigated by contact angle measurement on metal surface. The contact angle of metal surface to the acid solution increased with inhibitor concentration, thereby confirming the increased hydrophobic nature of metal surface to the acid solution having the inhibitor.

Adsorption and inhibition properties of Tephrosia Purpurea as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in sulphuric acid solution

Abstract

The present study investigated the adsorption and inhibition behavior of leaf extract of Tephrosia Purpurea (T. purpurea) on mild steel corrosion in 1?N H₂SO₄ solution using electrochemical and surface morphological methods. Techniques adopted for electrochemical studies were Potentiodynamic Polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) technique; and surface morphological studies were carried out using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The leaf extract of T. purpurea was characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). The results obtained from electrochemical studies exhibited the potential of T. purpurea as good corrosion inhibitor. And, it was found that, the inhibition efficiency (I.E in %) increases with increase in concentration of the inhibitor molecules, the optimum inhibitor concentration observed was 300?ppm and the inhibition efficiency of 93% was observed at this inhibitor concentration. Above 300?ppm, there was not much changes in inhibition efficiency. Polarization studies provided the information that the inhibition is of mixed type and EIS confirmed that the corrosion process is controlled by single charge transfer mechanism. And, it was obtained that, the adsorption of inhibitor molecules obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition is mainly by the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the mild steel electrode surface, which was confirmed by FT-IR, SEM and AFM studies. Through all the experimental results, it can be arrived that, the leaf extract of T. purpurea performed as a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1?N sulfuric acid medium.     

Enthalpic and Liquid-Phase Adsorption Study of Toluene–Cyclohexane and Toluene–Hexane Binary Systems on Modified Activated Carbons

The liquid-phase adsorption of toluene in cyclohexane and hexane solutions on modified activated carbons was evaluated; the energy involved in the interaction between these solutions and the solids was determined by immersion enthalpies of pure solvents and their mixtures, and the contribution of the system constituents was calculated by differential enthalpies. The thermal treatment generated modifications that favored adsorption and interaction with the evaluated solutions, since it increased the textural parameters and the basic character of the samples. Cyclohexane could create greater competition with the adsorption sites compared to hexane, but it favored the increase in adsorption capacities (0.416 to 1.026 mmol g⁻¹) and the interactions with the solid evaluated through the immersion enthalpies. The immersion enthalpies of pure solvents (−16.36 to −112.7 J g⁻¹) and mixtures (−25.65 to −104.34 J g⁻¹) had exothermic behaviors that were decreasing due to the possible displacement of solvent molecules when increasing the solute concentration in the mixtures. The differential enthalpies for toluene were negative (−18.63 to −2.14 J), mainly due to the π–π interaction with the solid, while those of the solvent–solid component tended to be positive values (−4.25 to 55.97 J) due to the displacement of the solvent molecules by those of toluene.     

The Use of High Surface Area Mesoporous-Activated Carbon from Longan Seed Biomass for Increasing Capacity and Kinetics of Methylene Blue Adsorption from Aqueous Solution

Microporous- and mesoporous-activated carbons were produced from longan seed biomass through physical activation with CO₂ under the same activation conditions of time and temperature. The specially prepared mesoporous carbon showed the maximum porous properties with the specific surface area of 1773 m²/g and mesopore volume of 0.474 cm³/g which accounts for 44.1% of the total pore volume. These activated carbons were utilized as porous adsorbents for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution and their effectiveness was evaluated for both the adsorption kinetics and capacity. The adsorption kinetic data of MB were analyzed by the pseudo-first-order model, the pseudo-second-order model, and the pore-diffusion model equations. It was found that the adsorption kinetic behavior for all carbons tested was best described by the pseudo-second-order model. The effective pore diffusivity (D_e) derived from the pore-diffusion model had the values of 4.657 × 10⁻⁷–6.014 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s and 4.668 × 10⁻⁷–19.920 × 10⁻⁷ cm²/s for the microporous- and mesoporous-activated carbons, respectively. Three well-known adsorption models, namely the Langmuir, Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson equations were tested with the experimental MB adsorption isotherms, and the results showed that the Redlich–Peterson model provided the overall best fitting of the isotherm data. In addition, the maximum capacity for MB adsorption of 1000 mg/g was achieved with the mesoporous carbon having the largest surface area and pore volume. The initial pH of MB solution had virtually no effect on the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of the methylene blue dye. Increasing temperature over the range from 35 to 55 °C increased the adsorption of methylene blue, presumably caused by the increase in the diffusion rate of methylene blue to the adsorption sites that could promote the interaction frequency between the adsorbent surface and the adsorbate molecules. Overall, the high surface area mesoporous carbon was superior to the microporous carbon in view of the adsorption kinetics and capacity, when both carbons were used for the removal of MB from an aqueous solution.     

Corrosion prevention of mild steel in acidic medium by 2-Pyrrolidin-1-yl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid: Theoretical and experimental approach

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. The surface analysis was achieved scanning electron microscope (SEM) and contact angle measurements in the absence and presence of 10 mM PTCA. 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.     

Effect of pH Value on the Adsorption Behavior and Inhibition Mechanism of Dodecylamine on Carbon Steel

The effect of pH value on the adsorption behavior and inhibition mechanism of dodecylamine for carbon dioxide corrosion of carbon steel was investigated by electrochemical methods and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the pH value of the solution played the crucial role to the adsorption behavior and inhibition mechanism of dodecylamine. The inhibition performance of dodecylamine on carbon steel was dependent on the pH value and the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of pH value. At pH 4.9, dodecylamine mainly inhibited the cathode process of the corrosion. The adsorption energy of dodecylamine on the metal surface was lower. The adsorption of dodecylamine on the metal surface was not stable and an anode desorption phenomenon could be observed. Hence, dodecylamine did not provide effective inhibition to the corrosion. While at pH 6.9, it had much higher adsorption energy. Dodecylamine adsorbed on the metal surface tightly and formed the effective diffusion barrier which inhibited both the cathode and anode processes effectively.

Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel immersed in a 1 M HCl solution using benzothiazole derivatives

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.
