<p class="PaperTitle"><span lang="EN-GB">This study investigates the inhibition potential of Vernonia amygdalina stem extract (VAE) on the corrosion of mild carbon steel immersed in 1 M HCl solution containing various concentrations of the inhibitor. The corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency were evaluated using mass loss and adsorption techniques. The results revealed that VAE efficiently inhibits the corrosion rate of mild carbon steel immersed in the acidic medium. The concentration of 0.6 g/L provides the highest inhibition efficiency of 78.1 %. The adsorption process was consistent with the physisorption mechanism and obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The functional groups responsible for inhibition were identified using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra. The surface morphology of the corroded samples examined with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) revealed the presence of protective oxide layer. Inhibition efficiency was found depended on the presence of oxalate, phytate, tannins, saponins and flavonoids in the VAE. It has been concluded that VAE is safe, cheap and efficient corrosion inhibitor for mild carbon steel.</span></p>

The inhibitive action of Saponinic extract of both Zygophylium album and Zygophylium Egyptian leaves which could serve as eco-friendly materials was investigated on the corrosion of N80 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution. The techniques employed for the study were weight loss measurements. potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results obtained show that these extracts could serve as an effective inhibitor for N80 carbon steel. The percentage inhibition increases with increasing concentration of the inhibitor at 25 °C The percentage inhibitor efficiency above 90% was obtained at a concentration of 700 ppm for both extracts. The corrosion rates of steel and inhibitive efficiencies obtained from impedance and polarization measurements were in good agreement with those obtained from weight loss measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization studies clearly reveal that both extracts act as mixed-type inhibitors The study shows that the inhibition efficiency decreased with the temperature rise of the medium. Heat of adsorption and thermodynamic parameters and indicated that the adsorption process is mainly controlled by the physical adsorption process.

The interaction of a melamine molecule with a carbon nitride nanotube (CNNT) was explored by means of dispersion-corrected density functional calculations. It was found that melamine prefers to be adsorbed on the porous site of the tube wall with the adsorption energy of -21.9 kcal/mol. This adsorption process significantly shifts the HOMO of the tube to higher energies, thereby reducing the gap of the tube from 3.97 to 2.65 eV. Moreover, the work function is slightly decreased which can facilitate the field electron emission from the tube surface. It is expected that CNNT can be a promising candidate for sensor devices in detecting the melamine molecule with short recovery time and high sensitivity.
