Experimental and theoretical studies of carbon steel corrosion protection in phosphoric acid solution by expired lansoprazole and rabeprazole drugs

The effects of expired lansoprazole and rabeprazole on the corrosion protection of carbon steel in phosphoric acid (3.0 ?M) solution were examined by Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Lansoprazole and rabeprazole concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 5.0 and 10 ?mM) in acid solution were raised, which improved corrosion prevention. Both lansoprazole and rabeprazole as the mixed inhibitors retarded the anodic and cathodic processes, as indicated by polarization data. With the increasing temperature in the range of 25–55 ?°C, the inhibition efficiency drops from 92.9% to 69.3% for lansoprazole and from 94.8% to 74.2% for rabeprazole. The major decrease in the inhibition efficiency with ascending temperature proved the physisorption of the drugs. The activation energies for carbon steel corrosion in H₃PO₄solution were enhanced from 41.6 ?kJ ?mol^?1 to 81.9 ?kJ.mol^?1and 85.9 ?kJ ?mol^?1 for lansoprazole and rabeprazole, respectively. The influence of temperature on the corrosion process of carbon steel in the acid medium was used to derive the thermodynamic quantities of corrosion. The adsorption of both lansoprazole and rabeprazole on carbon steel followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The polarization data yielded outcomes that were consistent with the results arising from impedance measurements. The theoretical study of both lansoprazole and rabeprazole was done by a density functional theory (DFT) approach to realize the effects of molecular structure on their inhibitive action. Both lansoprazole and rabeprazole contain a higher E_HOMO, a lower E_LUMO and a lower energy gap than some inhibitors earlier reported as good corrosion inhibitors in the literature.

Benzalkonium chloride/titanium dioxide as an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in a sulfuric acid solution

In this study, the corrosion performance of carbon steel samples in 0.5 M sulfuric acid by the addition of novel inhibitors, 200 ppm of (25% and 50%) titanium dioxide nanoparticles in benzalkonium chloride, was thoroughly investigated. Gravimetric measurements, cyclic and linear potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and hydrogen collection by water displacement evaluated inhibition performance. Analogously, TiO₂/ILB (50%), TiO₂/ILB (75%), and ILB inhibitors enhanced corrosion protection with over 80% inhibition efficiency in electrochemical tests. In addition, weight loss and hydrogen collection measurements reached comparable results. According to potentiodynamic polarization curves, inhibitors exhibited dual behavior, but cathodic protection was more predominant. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine the surface morphology before and after immersion using corrosion tests. The correlation between electronic properties and inhibition efficiencies of tilted inhibitors was determined by simple linear regression. Electronic properties were calculated for neutral and protonated forms using a polarizable continuum model by the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-311+G (d, p) level of theory. The active adsorbed sites of HM1-HM3 on the metal surface were determined by analyzing their corresponding electrostatic surface potentials (ESP). Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to illustrate the most conceivable adsorption configuration between the inhibitors and metal surfaces.     

Inhibitory action of aqueous Ruellia Tuberosa L leaves extract on the corrosion of copper in HCl solution

The inhibitive action of the aqueous extract of Ruellia tuberosa L (ART) on the corrosion of copper in 0.5 ​M HCl was investigated.

The Polarization studies revealed that the ART act as a mixed-type inhibitor. Based on the analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, an equivalent circuit is suggested. The adsorption of the inhibitor ART on the copper surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. From the results of scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy the adsorption of ART on the copper surface is confirmed.     

Study on the inhibition of mild steel corrosion by 1,3-bis-(morpholin-4-yl-phenyl-methyl)-thiourea in hydrochloric acid medium

1,3-Bis-(morpholin-4-yl-phenyl-methyl)-thiourea (MBT) was synthesized and their influence on the inhibition of corrosion on mild steel in various hydrochloric acid concentrations has been investigated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance (EI), Tafel polarization, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FT-IR methods. The result of weight loss study shows that the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) is directly proportional to the concentration of the inhibitor and inversely proportional to the temperature. Electrochemical study proved that the inhibitor acts as a mixed type inhibitor. SEM shows the formation of a protective film of the inhibitor on the mild steel. The IR data also provide evidence for the anticorrosion effect of the inhibitor.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of acridine orange as corrosion inhibitor for copper protection in acidic media

The corrosion process commonly limits the use of copper in practical applications. The use of corrosion inhibitors is one of the effective methods to reduce the corrosion rate of copper. In this research, the inhibition effect of acridine orange (3,6-bis(dimethylamine)acridine) (AcO) for the protection of copper in 0.5 ?M ?H₂SO₄ solution was studied. For this aim, the change of open circuit potential with exposure time (E_ocp-t), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR), anodic and cathodic potentiodynamic polarization measurements (PP) and chronoamperometry (CA) techniques were used. Some quantum chemical parameters (E_HOMO, E_LUMO and dipole moment) were calculated and discussed. The AcO film formed over the copper surface was examined by SEM, EDX, AFM and contact angle measurements. The electrochemical data showed that AcO is an effective corrosion inhibitor even at low concentrations (ranging between 99.1% and %99.4 ?at concentrations from 0.01 ?mM to 1 ?mM). The corrosion rate of copper decreases in the presence of the inhibitor by reducing both anodic and cathodic rates, which is depended on its concentration. This compound behaves as mixed-type corrosion inhibitors with predominantly cathodic type. Its adsorption on the copper surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The value of adsorption equilibrium constant (K_ads) and the standard free energy of adsorption were ΔG_ads 1.298 x 10³ ?M^?1 and -27.71 ?kJ/mol in the case of 0.5 ?M ?H₂SO₄ solution containing 1.0 ?mM AcO, which shows the adsorption is high and spontaneous. The adsorbed inhibitor film over the metal increase contact angle of the surface, which suggests the more hydrophobic properties of the surface are increasing coming from the orientation of hydrophobic sites to the electrolyte. The zero charge potential (E_pzc) studies showed that the surface charge of the metal is positive in the corrosive media containing the inhibitor. Quantum chemical calculations showed that the binding of inhibitor molecules to the metal surface takes place through N atoms of the inhibitor.

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

Study of the electrochemical behaviour of a carbon steel electrode in sodium sulfate aqueous solutions using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

The study of a plain carbon steel (AISI 1020) in Na₂SO₄ aqueous solutions at different concentrations was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in order to determine the corrosion mechanism and to obtain representative corrosion rates of the system. EIS was used to measure corrosion current densities at high concentrations in the range 0.1–1 wt% Na₂SO₄, but in the low concentration range, from 0.001 to 0.01 wt%, a scattered Nyquist plot was obtained. Other electrochemical techniques, such as polarization resistance (PR), Tafel plots and electrochemical noise (EN), were also used in this analysis. The charge transfer resistance was determined and compared with the PR and noise resistance. Electronic Publication     

Medicago sativa as a green corrosion inhibitor for 1018 carbon steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution

A study on the use of the methanol extract of Medicago sativa as a green corrosion inhibitor for 1018 carbon steel in 0.5?M of sulfuric acid has been carried out by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and gravimetric tests. Testing temperatures were 25°C, 40°C and 60°C. Results showed that M. sativa is a good corrosion inhibitor, with its efficiency increasing with its concentration and with time, but decreasing with the temperature. M. sativa forms a passive film on top of the steel with a passive current density and pitting potential values lower than that for uninhibited solution, and remained on the steel for 8–12?h. This film formed by iron ions and heteroatoms present in OH^? and amine groups from the extract are adsorbed on the steel and form a protective film on to the steel.     

Incorporation of Reactive Corrosion Inhibitor in Waterborne Acrylic Polyurethane Coatings and Evaluation of its Corrosion Performance

Hydroxyl-epoxy phosphate (HEP) as a reactive corrosion inhibitor was innovatively synthesized by the reaction of bisphenol A epoxy resin with phosphoric acid. HEP was mixed with hydroxyl acrylate resin, and crosslinked with waterborne isocyanate curing agent, which was used to form waterborne HEP/acrylic polyurethane composite (HEP-APU) coatings on Q235 steel surfaces. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves were applied to analyze the corrosion behavior of the HEP-APU coatings in 3.5wt% NaCl solutions. The results indicated that the HEP-APU coatings show a superior passivation property and efficient corrosion protection of Q235 steel. The waterborne acrylic polyurethane coating containing 0.5wt% HEP exhibited the best corrosion performance among all the coating specimens. The improved flash-rust resistance can be attributed to the introduction of the phosphate group which could form phosphate film on the steel substrate.

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.

Corrosion behavior of CoCrMoW cast alloy in lactic acid environment for surgical applications

The corrosion behavior of CoCrMoW alloy in lactic acid environment during 168 h of immersion at 37 °C has been studied and assessed by means of electrochemical techniques (open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)). Further, the oxide film thickness formed after immersion and the quantity of ions released have been evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma optical spectroscopy (ICP-OES). A good correlation between the results, related to the oxide film thickness, obtained from these experimental techniques was achieved. The research has also shown that the tendency of growing of oxide film becomes slower as the time of immersion is longer. The higher corrosion resistance of CoCrMoW alloy in lactic acid environment is due to the formation of the oxide film highly enriched in Cr(III) on the alloy surface. With a small corrosion rate, e.g. 45 nm year⁻¹, this alloy is characterized as “Perfect Stable” according to ISO 8044/2000. Overall, the present study provides additional evidences with respect to the benefic influence of tungsten on passivity, explained by a higher resistance to pitting corrosion of the CoCrMoW alloy in lactic acid with sodium chloride.

Evidence for enhancement of corrosion resistance of carbon steel after exposure to high-dose gamma radiation

This paper reports the effect of gamma radiation on carbon-steel corrosion in a synthetic sodium-chloride electrolyte [0.6 M] which is a suitable candidate for thick-wall radioactive waste containers. The corrosion properties were studied by linear polarization (LP), Tafel plots, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Carbon steel exposed to a high irradiation dose was found to have enhanced corrosion resistance, which is consistent with the formation of Fe₂O₃ (hematite) and microstructural development observed by X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the mechanism of irradiation influence is proposed. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed spherical grains, the sizes and numbers of which varied with the irradiation dose.
