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.     

Green approach to corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid medium using extract of spirogyra algae

In the present investigation, a fresh water green algae spirogyra is used as an inexpensive and efficient mild steel corrosion inhibitor. The study is carried out in 0.5?M HCl solution using weight loss measurements, scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The maximum inhibition efficiency was found to be 93.03% at 2?g?L^?1. The adsorption of extract of spirogyra on mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Corrosion inhibition mechanisms were inferred from the temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency as well as from calculation of thermodynamic and kinetic parameters which direct the process. FT-IR analysis of green algae spirogyra revealed the presence of hydroxyl, amino, and carbonyl groups, which are responsible for the adsorption on the mild steel surface. SEM analysis supported the inhibitive action of the spirogyra extract against the mild steel corrosion in acid solution.     

The litchi (Litchi Chinensis) peels extract as a potential green inhibitor in prevention of corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution by the extract of litchi peel (Litchi chinensis) was studied by weight loss method, potentiodynamics polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the litchi peels extract acts as mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition of corrosion is found to be due to adsorption of the extract on metal surface, which is in conformity with Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. UV–Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies confirm that the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel occurs through adsorption of the inhibitor molecules.     

Kopsia Singapurensis提取物对酸性介质中低碳钢的缓蚀效应(英文)

The influence of the alkaloid extract of Kopsia singapurensis on the corrosion behavior of mild steel (MS) in 1 mol·L-1 HCl and 1 mol·L-1 H2SO4 was studied using electrochemical techniques, viz., potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance. The experimental results clearly show that the plant extract effectively inhibits corrosion in both acid media and the inhibition efficiency obtained from the electrochemical techniques is in good agreement. Furthermore, the polarization technique indicates that the extract acts as an anodic type inhibitor in HCl and as a mixed type in H2SO4. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out to examine the surface morphological changes of metal specimens in both the inhibited and uninhibited solutions. SEM images show the formation of an adsorbed layer over the metal surface by the inhibitor molecule. The presence of alkaloidal constituents in the plant extract was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and chemical analysis.     

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.     

Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution using chitosan

The efficiency of chitosan (a naturally occurring polymer) as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated by gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–visible analysis. The polymer was found to inhibit corrosion even at a very low concentration. Inhibition efficiency increases with a rise in temperature up to 96 % at 60 °C and then drops to 93 % at 70 °C, while it slightly increases with an increase in chitosan concentration. Polarization curves indicate that chitosan functions as a mixed inhibitor, affecting both cathodic and anodic partial reactions. Impedance results indicate that chitosan was adsorbed on the metal/solution interface. Adsorption of chitosan at the mild steel surface is found to be in agreement with Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Chemical adsorption is the proposed mechanism for corrosion inhibition considering the trend of protection efficiency with temperature. Calculated kinetic and thermodynamic parameters corroborate the proposed mechanism.     

The influence of surface modification of lithium zinc phosphate pigment on corrosion inhibition of mild steel and adhesion strength of epoxy coating

In this paper, the influence of sol–gel surface modification of lithium zinc phosphate (LZP) pigment by methacryloxy propyl trimethoxy silane on corrosion inhibition, dispersion stability and adhesion strength was studied. IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed that organic functional group was successfully grafted onto the LZP surface. EIS and polarization measurements of mild steel showed an improvement in corrosion resistance for the extract of surface modified pigment in 3.5 % NaCl solution which was connected to better solubility proved by ICP-OES. The dispersion stability of the pigment in epoxy resin was found to be improved after surface modification. In addition, the adhesion strength of the epoxy coating containing surface modified pigment to mild steel after exposure to salt spray (5 % NaCl solution) was enhanced. The sol–gel surface modification had led to increase in hydrophobicity of the pigment particle surface, but simultaneously increased solubility of the pigment in water possibly due to the lower degree of agglomerates or aggregates of the pigment particles.     

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in hydrochloric acid by betanin as a green inhibitor

The effect of betanin (2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 4-(2-(2-carboxy-5-(beta-D-glucopyr-anosyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-6-hydroxy-1H-indol-1-yl)ethenyl)-2,3-dihydro-(S-(R*,R*))) on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel has been investigated in 1 M HCl solution. Weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques were applied to study the mild steel corrosion behavior in the absence and presence of different concentrations of betanin under the influence of various experimental conditions. The results obtained showed that betanin is a good “green” inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution. Scanning electron microscopy observations of the steel surface confirmed the protective role of the inhibitor. The polarization curves showed that betanin behaves mainly as a mixed-type inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency (98%) is obtained at betanin concentrations of 0.01 M. The results obtained from weight loss, polarization, and impedance measurements are in good agreement.     

Inhibitive,adsorption and synergistic studies on ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana as green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in H2SO4

Abstract

The inhibitive and adsorptive characteristics of ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana for the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄ solutions have been studied using weight loss, gasometric, thermometric, and IR methods of monitoring corrosion. Ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana is a good adsorption inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄. The inhibitive property of the extract is attributed to the presence of alkaloid, saponin, tannin, terpene, anthraquinone, cardiac glycoside, and alkaloid in the extract. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel surface is exothermic, spontaneous and is consistent with the mechanism of physical adsorption. In addition, Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms best described the adsorption characteristics of the inhibitor. Efforts to improve the adsorption of the inhibitor through synergistic combinations with halides indicated that only KCl may enhance the efficiency of the inhibitor. The study provides information on the use of ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel.     

Utilization of biowaste as an eco-friendly biodegradable corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 mol/L HCl solution

This report focuses on the application of a biodegradable biowaste [human hair-(HHR)], to produce a mild steel corrosion inhibitor. The performance of HHR extract in inhibiting metallic corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl was investigated. The analysis of the metal corrosion behavior using electrochemical and weight loss techniques revealed that HHR exhibits an efficient corrosion-mitigating effect via adsorption on the metal surface following a Langmuir isotherm.

Surface analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy provided evidence for the precipitation of a protective HHR film on the metal surface.

A new novel organic corrosion inhibitor N-[4-(1,3-benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl)phenyl]quinoline-6-carboxamide (NBCPQC) has been synthesized. The synthesized novel organic inhibitor NBCPQC used to be carried out on mild steel corrosion in 1N HCl for the first time. The studied inhibitor was once evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1N of HCl solution using electrochemical research which advocated that a protective film is form by the process of inhibitor absorption on the surface of mild steel. Inhibitor shows a better inhibiton efficiency of maximum above 90% in 1N HCl medium. Inhibitors show a better efficiency by way of reducing and sluggish down the corrosion process however on growing the temperature it is weakened on controlling corrosion. In addition to this adsorption isothermal models had been interpreted to fit the adsorption behaviour of the inhibitor compound on mild steel surface. Thus the result reveals that the compound shows a Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

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.

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 DFT analysis of onion peels for its inhibition behavior against mild steel corrosion in chloride solutions

Natural materials are good options for being used as inhibitors due to their high biodegradability, reasonable cost, easiness in use and high efficiency. In this regard, waste natural materials are very useful because they have all the properties of natural materials and easily available at very low cost (almost free). This work reports a similar kind of waste natural materials namely onion peels. The water extract of onion peels (WEOP) is characterized by UV–vis spectroscopy (UVS) and FTIR spectroscopy (FTIS). WEOP is tested for corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) in 1 M NaCl by various techniques like typical weight loss measurements (WLM), open circuit potential (OCP) curves, Tafel polarization (TP) curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface scanning microscopy (SEM). The maximum inhibition of mild steel corrosion is 90% (WLM). The reason of inhibition based on experimental analysis is proposed as adsorption of extract molecules on MS, which is found true in SEM images and Langmuir isotherm study. The WEOP is also examined by density functional theory principles, which recommends that the extract molecules can be easily adsorbed on MS and can stop corrosion of MS in NaCl solutions. Based on investigation, a schematic is introduced for compact explanation.
