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.     

The effect of H2S concentration on the corrosion behavior of API 5L X-70 steel

This work presents electrochemical data measured during the corrosion of API 5L X-70 pipeline steel immersed in aqueous environments containing dissolved H₂S. Three different electrolyte were used: a 3 wt% NaCl solution containing 100, 650 and 2,550 ppm of H₂S respectively. The corrosion of steel is described by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical data obtained from the steel monitoring are presented in terms of Nyquist plots. The influence of the total H₂S concentration as well as the effect of temperature on the corrosion of API 5L X-70 steel were also studied. In the presence of H₂S the R_ct values decrease as the H₂S concentration increases.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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     

Evaluation of the corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P and Ni-P composite coatings by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Electroless Ni-P composite coatings have gained a good deal of popularity and acceptance in recent years as they provide considerable improvement of desirable qualities such as hardness, wear, abrasion resistance, etc. The disagreement among researchers on the corrosion behaviour of these coatings warrants a thorough investigation. Among the various techniques available for the determination of corrosion resistance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is considered to be superior as it provides not only an assessment of the corrosion resistance of different deposits but also enables the mechanistic pathway by which the deposits become corroded to be determined. The present investigation focuses on the evaluation of the corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P and Ni-P-Si₃N₄, Ni-P-CeO₂ and Ni-P-TiO₂ composite coatings produced using an acidic hypophosphite-reduced electroless nickel bath, using EIS. The study makes evident that the same fundamental reaction is occurring on all the coatings of the present study but over a different effective area in each case. The charge transfer resistance of electroless Ni-P and Ni-P composite deposits are in the range 32,253–90,700 Ω cm², whereas the capacitances of these coatings are in the range 11–17 μF/cm². The improved corrosion resistance obtained for electroless Ni-P and Ni-P composite coatings is due to the enrichment of phosphorus on the electrode surface, which enables the preferential hydrolysis of phosphorus over that of nickel. The better corrosion resistance obtained for electroless Ni-P composite coatings can be ascribed to the decrease in the effective metallic area prone to corrosion. Among the three electroless Ni-P composite coatings, the corrosion resistance is in the following order: Ni-P-CeO₂=Ni-P-Si₃N₄>Ni-P-TiO₂. Electronic Publication     

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.

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.

A new corrosion inhibitor namely o-Chloroaniline-N-benzylidene (o-CANB) has been synthesized and its inhibitive performance toward the corrosion of Al-Pure in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid has been investigated. Corrosion inhibition was studied by chemical method (weight loss) and electrochemical techniques including polarization method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The present study has shown that this inhibitor is good in acidic media and the inhibition efficiency up to >99% in 1.0 M HCl.

Impedance measurement showed that the charge transfer resistance (R_ct) increased and double layer capacitance (C_dl) decreased with an increase in the inhibitor's concentration. Obtained results about inhibition efficiency from weight loss, polarization study and EIS are in good agreement with each other. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface in the acid solution was found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm.

Corrosion protection of carbon steel in acidic media by expired bupropion drug; experimental and theoretical study

The effects of expired bupropion on the corrosion protection of carbon steel in hydrochloric acid (1.0 M) and sulfuric acid (0.5 M) solutions were examined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Bupropion concentrations in both acid solutions were raised, which improved corrosion prevention. Bupropion was a mixed inhibitor because it retarded the anodic and cathodic processes, as indicated by polarization data. The inhibition efficiency decreased with the increasing temperature from 25 to 55 °C. In the presence of bupropion, the activation energies of corrosion in both acid solutions increased. The thermodynamic quantities were deduced from the influence of temperature on the corrosion process of carbon steel in both acid media. Bupropion adsorption on carbon steel followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The polarization data yielded outcomes consistent with the results arising from impedance measurements. FTIR spectroscopy showed the active sites of bupropion molecule during adsorption on the alloy surface. The theoretical study and molecular dynamics simulation of bupropion was done by a density functional theory (DFT) approach to realize the effects of molecular structure on the inhibitive action of bupropion.     

Effect of piperidones on hydrogen permeation and corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acidic solutions

The influence of 3-methyl-2,6-diphenyl piperidin-4-one (MDPO) and 2-phenyl decahydroquinoline-4-one (PDQO) synthesised in the laboratory on hydrogen permeation and corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1N H₂SO₄ has been studied using weight loss and various electrochemical AC and DC corrosion-monitoring techniques. Both the compounds inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄. Potentiodynamic polarisation studies clearly reveal that they behave predominantly as cathodic inhibitors. The extent of decrease in hydrogen permeation current through steel surfaces has been studied by the hydrogen electropermeation technique. Double layer capacitance (C _dl ) and charge transfer resistance (R _t ) values are derived from Nyquist plots obtained from AC impedance studies. The adsorption of these compounds on mild steel surfaces from H₂SO₄ obeys Temkin’s adsorption isotherm.     

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.
