Microbial desulfurization of ground tire rubber by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

This study focused on the microbial desulfurization of ground tire rubber (GTR) by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, which selected from the soil of an iron mine had strong sulphur oxidizing capacity. GTR was desulfurizated in the modified Silverman medium during the cultivation of T. ferrooxidans for 30 days, and T. ferrooxidans was able to maintain a high biomass. The continuous increase of SO₄²⁻ in the medium indicated that the sulfur on the surface of GTR was oxidized. FTIR-ATR and XPS spectra revealed that a rupture of conjugated CC bonds and a reduction of sulfur content on the surface of GTR had occurred during desulfurization. The sol fraction of GTR increased from its original 4.69%-7.43%. Compared with GTR sheet, desulfurizated GTR (DGTR) sheets had much smoother surfaces, better physical properties, and higher swelling values. NR vulcanizates filled with DGTR (with 10-40 phr loading) had lower crosslink density and better mechanical properties than those filled with GTR at the same loading. The results determined by DMA suggested that NR vulcanizates filled with DGTR had a reduction of molecular chain friction resistance during glass transition and SEM photograph indicated a better interface coherence between DGTR and NR matrix.     

EIS evaluation of protective performance and surface characterization of epoxy coating with aluminum nanoparticles after wet and dry corrosion test

The effect of addition of aluminum (Al) nanoparticles to epoxy coating on the ability to protect the carbon steel was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and focused ion beam-transmission electron microscopy. The EIS was conducted in 0.1?M NaCl solution after wet/dry cyclic corrosion test. The addition of Al nanoparticles increased the film resistance (R _f) and the charge transfer resistance (R _ct) of epoxy-coated steel. The surface analysis showed that uniform and fine Al–Fe complex oxide layers were formed acting as barrier layers that enhanced the corrosion protection of the epoxy-coated steel. It has been concluded that the Al nanoparticles had a beneficial role in improving the corrosion resistance of the epoxy-coated steel.

A Rapid Method for Determination of Growth of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans by Series Piezoelectric Quartz Crystal

ABSTRACT

A rapid and simple method for monitoring the growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is put forward by using a series piezoelectric quartz crystal (SPQC). The SPQC was applied to continuously determine the variation of frequency shift during the culture of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, with a conductive electrode as the probe. The frequency shift as a function of time agrees with a typical 'S - shape' model, a piezoelectric sensor responding well to the growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The fundamentals for determination of the bacterial growth activity using the SPQC is also described; the frequency shift is only dependent on the electrical conductivity of the solution and the dielectric constant.

Immobilization of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans with complex of PVA and sodium alginate

A new Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans cell immobilization technique utilizing the complex of PVA solution and sodium alginate solution crosslinked by Ca(NO₃)₂ as entrapment medium is reported. The mixture of A. ferrooxidans suspension and the entrapment complex were extruded into a solution of Ca(NO₃)₂ (1-5%) to form beads, then the beads were frozen at −20 °C for 1-2 days and thawed at room temperature. The forming mechanism, characteristic of this immobilized beads and the factors affecting activity of immobilized cells were also discussed. A maximum oxidation rate of 4.6 g Fe²⁺/(L h) was achieved in batch cultures by these immobilized cells. Precipitation formed during culture process was analyzed. The forming mechanism of this precipitation and how this precipitation affects the whole system were also discussed. In addition, the immobilization technique is operated simply, and the gel beads have high stability even under non-sterile conditions. So its application on an industrial scale would be more practicable.

Effects of serum proteins on corrosion behavior of ISO 5832–9 alloy modified by titania coatings

Stainless steel ISO 5832–9 type is often used to perform implants which operate in protein-containing physiological environments. The interaction between proteins and surface of the implant may affect its corrosive properties. The aim of this work was to study the effect of selected serum proteins (albumin and γ-globulins) on the corrosion of ISO 5832–9 alloy (trade name M30NW) which surface was modified by titania coatings. These coatings were obtained by sol–gel method and heated at temperatures of 400 and 800 °C. To evaluate the effect of the proteins, the corrosion tests were performed with and without the addition of proteins with concentration of 1 g L^?1 to the physiological saline solution (0.9 % NaCl, pH 7.4) at 37 °C. The tests were carried out within 7 days. The following electrochemical methods were used: open circuit potential, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In addition, surface analysis by optical microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) method was done at the end of weekly corrosion tests. The results of corrosion tests showed that M30NW alloy both uncoated and modified with titania coatings exhibits a very good corrosion resistance during weekly exposition to corrosion medium. The best corrosion resistance in 0.9 % NaCl solution is shown by alloy samples modified by titania coating annealed at 400 °C. The serum proteins have no significant effect onto corrosion of investigated biomedical steel. The XPS results confirmed the presence of proteins on the alloy surface after 7 days of immersion in protein-containing solutions.     

Effect of Avogadro natural oil on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution

The inhibition action of Avogadro natural oil on corrosion of mild steel in one molar hydrochloric acid solution was investigated by gravimetric and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The surface morphology of as-corroded samples was assessed with high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (HR-STEM/EDS). From the results, the presence of Avogadro natural oil in the metal–acidic interface decreased the corrosion rate with all the exposure times. The inhibition efficiency (%IE) increases with the concentration of the inhibitor considered. Results obtained from gravimetric measurements indicate that the natural oil exhibited higher efficiencies of 93.26 % after 384 h of exposure time and 98.26 % recorded in the potentiodynamic polarization method, both at 4.5 g/v inhibitor addition. Equally, results from the linear polarization indicated higher potential value with an increase in the polarization resistance (R _p) and lower current density for the inhibited samples than the uninhibited mild steel sample. The inhibitive effect of this oil was explained in view of adsorption on the metal surface. The adsorption process follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

A nitrone, (E)-3-(N-oxide-methylimino)indolin-2-one, was synthesized and analyzed by X-ray single crystal analysis. The inhibition and the mechanism of action of the title compound on the corrosion of high protective Q235A steel in HCl solution were screened and discussed by weight loss and electrochemical measurements. The mechanism of action of (E)-3-(N-oxide-methylimino)indolin-2-one in HCl solution was screened for the corrosion of N80 steel in 1-methylindolin-2-one solution, and the inhibition mechanism was discussed. The results indicated that it can inhibit the corrosion with moderate inhibition efficiency in different conditions, and the mechanism of the corrosion inhibiting may be mainly contributed to the adsorption. It was screened for antibacterial activity against oilfield water-borne bacteria, and it showed good to moderate activity against sulfate reducing bacteria.     

Adsorption Behavior and Inhibition Corrosion Effect of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose on Mild Steel in Acidic Medium

The effect of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC) on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1.0 mol·L⁻¹ HCl solution has been investigated by using weight loss (WL) measurement, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. These results showed that the inhibition efficiency of Na-CMC increased with increasing the inhibitor concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization studies revealed that the Na-CMC was a mixed type inhibitor in 1.0 mol·L⁻¹ HCl. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel surface has been found to obey the Langmuir isotherm. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1.0 mol·L⁻¹ HCl with addition of 0.04% of Na-CMC has been studied in the temperature range of 298–328 K. The associated apparent activation energy (E^*_a) of corrosion reaction has been determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been applied to investigate the surface morphology of mild steel in the absence and presence of the inhibitor molecules.     

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.     

In‐situ characterization of the early stage of pipeline steel corrosion in bicarbonate solutions by electrochemical atomic force microscopy

An electrochemical atomic force microscope was used to characterize the early stage of corrosion of an X100 pipeline steel in bicarbonate solutions with varied concentrations by synchronous measurements of electrochemical potential of the steel and its topographic evolution with time. Upon immersion of the steel in 0.01 M NaHCO₃ solution, both electrochemical potential and topographic profile are associated with the dissolution of air‐formed oxides present on the steel surface. The potential drops and the surface roughness increases rapidly. When corrosion of the steel occurs, the potential further drops and the surface roughness of the steel increases gradually. As the steel corrosion achieves a steady state, the generation of corrosion products reaches a dynamic equilibrium state. The surface roughness maintain an approximately stable value. In solutions containing increased bicarbonate concentrations, such as 0.1 M and 0.5 M NaHCO₃, the steel can be passivated. The formed passive film can eliminate some surface features and improves the surface roughness. The topographic profile of the steel surface in 0.5 M NaHCO₃ solution is smoother than that in 0.1 M solution. The surface features within 20 nm become eliminated after 4500 s of immersion in 0.1 M NaHCO₃ solution, while larger features within 50 nm in size are eliminated in 0.5 M NaHCO₃ solution in the same time period.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by Laurus nobilis leaves extract as green inhibitor

The efficiency of Laurus nobilis leaves?? extract as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acidic medium (1?M H₂SO₄) was investigated by use of the electrochemical techniques potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and polarization resistance measurements. According to the experimental results, L. nobilis extract acts as a good corrosion inhibitor. In the presence of the inhibitor, corrosion potential shifted toward a more negative value than for the blank solution. Inhibitor efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration, as expected. According to the potentiodynamic polarization results the corrosion of mild steel increased with increasing temperature both in the presence and absence of the inhibitor. The activation energy (E _a) of the corrosion process was calculated from the variation of corrosion current density with temperature.     

Electrochemical investigation of a schiff base synthesized by cinnamaldehyde as corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in acidic medium

The inhibiting effect of (NE)-4-phenoxy-N-(3-phenylallylidene) aniline (PAC) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl has been studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Tafel polarization measurements. The corrosion rate was also calculated theoretically in terms of mm per year and mil per year, using current density values of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl medium. It was found that PAC has a remarkable inhibition efficiency on the corrosion of mild steel especially at high temperatures. The values of E _a obtained in presence of a Schiff base were found to be lower than those obtained in the inhibitor-free solution. The increase of inhibition efficiency percent with temperature increase was associated with the transformation of physical adsorption into chemical adsorption. The thermodynamic functions of adsorption processes have been evaluated and discussed at each temperature. Scanning electron microscope observations of the electrode surface confirmed the existence of a protective adsorbed film of the inhibitor on the electrode surface.     

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.
