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.     

Interactions and corrosion mitigation prospective of pyrazole derivative on mild steel in HCl environment

The effectiveness of 1H?pyrazole?3,5?dicarboxylic acid 5?benzyl ester 3?phenyl ester (PCBPE) as a preventer for deterioration of IS 513 Gr. D steel in 1 M HCl medium is evaluated via weight loss, electrochemical impedance, and polarization techniques. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters assessed the feasibility of the adsorption process at diverse temperatures. The inhibition action on mild steel has been enhanced with increasing PCBPE concentration. It is found from the polarization studies that PCBPE behaves as mixed type inhibitor in HCl medium. The adsorption process of PCBPE on mild steel surface from acid environment is favoured Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The shielding efficiency of PCBPE has been enhanced at elevated concentrations, and it has been diminished at amplified temperatures. The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS) were used to establish a surface characterization of metal specimens. A quantum chemical analysis of electron density distributions in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) demonstrated how the inhibitor undergoes adsorption on mild steel in 1 M HCl. All experimental findings substantiate the corrosion mitigation performance of PCBPE on mild steel in acidic environments.     

New anti-corrosion inhibitor (3ar,6ar)-3a,6a-di-p-tolyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1 h,3h)-dithione for carbon steel in 1 M HCl medium: gravimetric,electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical analyses

The inhibition of (3ar,6ar)-3a,6a-di-p-tolyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1 h,3h)-dithione (TTHIIDT) for carbon steel was full characterized in a 1 M hydrochloride acid environment at various inhibitor concentrations and temperatures by the gravimetric, electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical analyses. The obtained results confirmed that the inhibition efficiency of TTHIIDT was over 95–97% and nearly stable in the rise of temperature and concentration; TTHIIDT was mixed type inhibitor and effectively influenced both anodic and cathodic corrosion reactions; a protective hydrophobic thin layer of this inhibitor on the carbon steel surface is more stable and non soluble in 1 M HCl medium; this inhibitor adsorbed endothermically on the carbon steel surface by the chemical and physical adsorption processes. The quantum chemical calculations supported the experimental results and showed that the inhibition efficiency is depends on the structure of inhibitor.     

Berberine isolated from Mahonia nepalensis as an eco-friendly and thermally stable corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium

BackgroundThe environmental and economic benefits have been the driving force in search of efficient corrosion inhibitors for iron/steel used in industrial acidic medium. This study reports on berberine isolated from methanol extract of high-altitude (1347 m) shrub Mahonia nepalensis as a highly efficient and thermally stable corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M H₂SO₄ simulating acid pickling condition.MethodsThe weight-loss and electrochemical methods revealed the fast adsorption of berberine.Significant Findings: It achieved above 91% inhibition efficiency (IE) in 0.25 h and reached 94% in 6 h for 1000 ppm berberine. The IE increased with concentration and temperature, giving an IE of 97.2% at 328 K, which makes it a promising candidate for industrial application. It behaved as a mixed type of inhibitor as revealed by open circuit potential and polarization curves. The results indicated suppression of the corrosion by effectively forming an adsorbed berberine layer on the MS surface. Adsorption of the berberine followed a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy (43.19 kJ/mol), free energy (−35.05 kJ/mol), enthalpy (40.55 kJ/mol), and entropy (−97.83 J/molK) of adsorption supported both physical and chemical interactions of berberine with MS surface. The obtained results also revealed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous in nature.     

Aqueous extract of Acacia cyanophylla leaves as environmentally friendly inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 solution

The efficiency of Acacia cyanophylla leaves extract as an environmentally friendly inhibitor for mild steel in aerated aqueous 1 M H₂SO₄ solution has been investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Addition of inhibitor decreases the corrosion current whereas the corrosion potential values show slight shifts in positive directions. Inhibition efficiency was found to be about 93% (the maximum value was determined from the polarization curve). Efficiencies obtained from both electrochemical techniques are in good agreement. Adsorption of Acacia cyanophylla leaves extract on mild steel surface in 1 M H₂SO₄ solution obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization curves were also obtained at different temperatures in order to measure changes of corrosion rate. Corrosion current increases and inhibition efficiency decreases with temperature increasing in H₂SO₄ solutions with and without Acacia cyanophylla extract. Corrosion parameters also changed with exposure time. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

4-phenyl-decahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one as novel and effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution: A combined experimental and empirical studies

The heterocyclic system, namely 4-phenyl-decahydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-one (POBZ) was inspected as a corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel (CS) in a 1 M HCl medium through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization measurements (PDP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental data indicate that the inhibiting action augments with augmenting POBZ amount and reduces with augmenting temperature. The inhibiting action efficiency of 90.98% is obtained with 0.001 M at 303 K. The potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) results mentioned that the POBZ is of mixed type. The adsorption of POBZ on the CS followed Langmuir isotherm. SEM exams affirmed that the steel surface is smooth in presence of POBZ. In light of the calculations of density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulation, the mechanism of POBZ inhibitory activity was addressed.     

Theoretical studies of some sulphonamides as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium

Density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6‐31G (d,p) and BP86/CEP‐31G* basis set levels and ab initio calculations using the RHF/6‐31G (d,p) methods were performed on four sulfonamides (namely sulfaacetamide (SAM), sulfapyridine (SPY), sulfamerazine (SMR), and sulfathiazole (STI)) used as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in acidic medium to determine the relationship between molecular structure and their inhibition efficiencies (%IE). The order of inhibition efficiency obtained was SMR > SPY > STI > SAM which corresponded with the order of most of the calculated quantum chemical parameters namely E_HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), E_LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), the energy gap (ΔE), the Mulliken charges on the C, O, N, S atoms, hardness (η), softness (S), polarizability (α), dipole moment (μ), total energy change (ΔE_T), electrophilicity (ω), electron affinity (A), ionization potential (I), the absolute electronegativity (χ), and the fraction of electrons transferred (ΔN). Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) approach has been used and a correlation of the composite index of some of the quantum chemical parameters was performed to characterize the inhibition performance of the sulfonamides studied. The results showed that the %IE of the sulfonamides was closely related to some of the quantum chemical parameters but with varying degrees/order. The calculated %IE of the sulfonamides studied was found to be close to their experimental corrosion inhibition efficiencies. The experimental data obtained fits the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The negative sign of the E_HOMO values and other thermodynamic parameters obtained indicates that the data obtained supports physical adsorption mechanism. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The mechanism of physical adsorption is proposed from the values of E_a and obtained. The correlation of inhibition effect and molecular structure of fluconazole was then discussed by quantum chemistry study to further provide insight into the mechanism of the inhibitory action.     

A combined computational & electrochemical exploration of the Ammi visnaga L. extract as a green corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in HCl solution

Natural-based corrosion inhibitors have gained great research interest thanks to their low cost and higher performance. In this work, the chemical composition of the methanolic extract of Ammi visnaga umbels (AVU) was evaluated by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) and applied for corrosion inhibition of carbon steel (CS) in 1.0 mol/L HCl using chemical and electrochemical techniques along with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and theoretical calculations. A total of 46 compounds were identified, representing 89.89% of the overall chemical composition of AVU extract, including Edulisin III (72.88%), Binapacryl (4.32%), Khellin (1.97%), and Visnagin (1.65%). Chemical (Weight loss) and electrochemical (potentiodynamic polarization curves (PPC), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) techniques revealed that investigated extract can be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1.0 mol/L HCl solution. At a low dose of 700 ppm, the inhibitory action of AVU extract reached an inhibition efficiency of 84 percent. According to polarization tests, the investigated extract worked as a mixed inhibitor, protecting cathodic and anodic corrosion reactions. The EIS test showed that upon the addition of AVU extract to HCl solution, the polarization resistance increased while the double layer decreased. SEM images showed a protected CS surface in the inhibited solution. Quantum chemical calculations by Density Functional Theory (DFT) for the main components confirmed the major role of heteroatoms and aromatic rings as adsorption sites. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to study the adsorption configuration of the main components on the Fe(1 1 0) surface. Outcomes from this study further confirmed the significant advantage of using plant-based corrosion inhibitors for protecting metals and alloys.

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.
