Purpose – This paper aims to compare the inhibitive effects of polyaniline (PAni), poly(p-toluidine) and poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Design/methodology/approach – The electrochemical deposition of PAni, poly(p-toluidine) and poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) on pure copper metal was studied potentiodynamically. The copolymer deposited was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion inhibition studies on copper electrode were performed using electrochemical methods, viz, open circuit potential (OCP) measurements, potentiodynamic polarization scans and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests, conducted in 0.1 M HCl solution. Finding – The results of the study reveal that the copolymer of poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) at the optimum concentration of 1 × 10−3 M has better corrosion inhibition efficiency as compared to PAni and poly(p-toluidine). Research limitations/implications – The conducting polymers are difficult to deposit on the metal surface because of their high dissolution tendency before the electropolymerization potential of the monomer is achieved. Practical implications – From an environmental viewpoint, poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) is a toxic and hazardous conducting polymer. Originality/value – The paper demonstrates that poly(aniline-co-p-toluidine) showed better dispersion in different organic solvents and had higher corrosion inhibition efficiency than PAni.

Purpose Tannic acid (TA) is one of the green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel; its anti-corrosive performance in alkaline water on mild steel when it is used together with polyaspartic acid (PASA) still has not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective, biodegradable and environment-friendly novel corrosion inhibitor based on TA and PASA as an alternative to the conventional inorganic inhibitors for mild steel in decarbonised water, which is common in cooling systems. Design/methodology/approach Corrosion inhibition mechanism is investigated by electrochemical techniques such as polarisation measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and results were evaluated to determine the optimum inhibitor concentration for industrial applications. Additionally, practice-like conditions are carried out in pilot plant studies to simulate the conditions in cooling systems. Thus, the efficiencies of the inhibitors are evaluated through both weight loss and linear polarisation resistance measurements. Moreover, the corrosion product is characterised by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Findings TA shows high inhibition efficiency especially towards pitting corrosion for mild steel in decarbonised water. PASA addition in the cooling systems improves the inhibition efficiency of TA, and at lower concentrations of TA + PASA, it is possible to obtained better inhibition efficiency than TA alone at higher inhibitor amounts, which is essential in economic and environmental aspect. Originality/value A blended inhibitor program including TA and PASA with suggested concentrations in this work can be used as an environmental friendly treatment concept for the mild steel corrosion inhibition at cooling systems.

This paper studies the corrosion inhibition performance and mechanism of dextrin (Dxt) and its graft copolymer with caprolactam (Dxt-g-CPL) on J55 steel in 1 M HCl solution. Caprolactam is grafted and copolymerized with dextrin by a chemical synthesis method, to obtain a dextrin graft copolymer corrosion inhibitor. The composition of the synthesized graft copolymer was characterized by FTIR to identify whether the grafting was successful. Through weightlessness, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization curve (TAFEL), scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and contact angle experiments, the graft copolymer to J55 steel in 1 M HCl solution and the corrosion inhibition performance were evaluated. Moreover, we discuss its corrosion inhibition mechanism. The dextrin graft copolymer has good corrosion inhibition performance for J55 in 1 M HCl solution. When the concentration of the corrosion inhibitor increases, the corrosion inhibition efficiency will also increase. At a certain concentration, when the temperature rises, the corrosion inhibition efficiency will gradually decrease. When the concentration is 300 mg/L, it has a better corrosion inhibition effect, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency is 82.38%. Potential polarization studies have shown that Dxt-g-CPL is a mixed corrosion inhibitor, which inhibits both the cathode and the anode of the electrode reaction. SEM, SECM, and contact angle analysis results show that Dxt-g-CPL can significantly inhibit corrosion. Compared with Dxt, Dxt-g-CPL has a better inhibitory effect.

This research aimed to develop a better understanding of the corrosion inhibition of the mild steel in acidic medium by new organic molecules. For this purpose, two new compounds namely, 2,3-dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (2-BIT) and 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (3-BIT) were synthesized and evaluated for mild steel (MS) corrosion in HCl. Analyses were carried out using weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The adsorption of inhibitors onto the steel surface follows the Langmuir adsorption model. Generally, results showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the investigated molecules was found to increase with increased concentration of inhibitors. Electrochemical tests, i.e., electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) techniques, showed that the addition of our investigated inhibitors decreases the dissolution of the metal and generally act as mixed-type inhibitors. In addition, the influence of temperature (from 303 to 333 K) on the corrosion inhibition was studied, and the results demonstrated that with an increase in temperature, the inhibition efficiency decrease. SEM results confirmed that the inhibition process is due to a protective film that prevents corrosion. Similarly, the results showed that the inhibitory efficiencies reach 93% at 5 × 10−3 M in the case of inhibitor 3-BIT. These results revealed that this compound could effectively control and reduce the corrosion rate of mild steel in the corrosion test solution.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion inhibition performance of an eco-friendly drug clozapine on the corrosion of copper in 1.0 M nitric acid and 0.5 M sulfuric acid solutions. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion inhibition nature of inhibitor molecule was evaluated by weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization studies. An attempt was made to correlate the molecular properties of neutral and protonated forms of inhibitor molecule using quantum chemical calculations. The effect of temperature on the corrosion inhibition efficiency was also studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The potential of zero charge was determined to explain the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Findings The studies on corrosion inhibition performance of clozapine showed that it has good corrosion inhibition efficiency on the corrosion of copper in 1.0 M nitric acid and 0.5 M sulfuric acid solutions. The adsorption of clozapine molecules onto the copper surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The value of free energy of adsorption calculated is very close to −40 kJmol−1, indicating that the adsorption is through electrostatic coulombic attraction and chemisorption. The decrease in the value of energy of activation with the addition of inhibitor also shows the chemisorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface. The potential of zero charge and quantum chemical studies confirmed that the protonated molecules also get involved in the corrosion inhibition process through physisorption. Originality/value The present work indicates that clozapine can act as a good corrosion inhibitor for the corrosion of copper in acid media.

The inhibiting effect of methanolic extract ofMollugo cervianaplant on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution has been investigated by different techniques like potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and weight loss methods for five different concentrations of plant extract ranging from 25 to 1000 mg/L. The results indicated that the corrosion inhibition efficiency increased on increasing plant extract concentration till 500 mg/L and decreased on further increasing concentration. The extract was a mixed type inhibitor with the optimum inhibition concentration of 500 mg/L in potentiodynamic polarization. The adsorption of the plant extract on the mild steel surface was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Surface analysis was also carried out to find out the surface morphology of the mild steel in the presence and in the absence of the inhibitor to find out its efficiency. The obtained results showed that theMollugo cervianaextract acts as a good inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution.

The maximum per cent efficiency evaluated using the potentiodynamic polarization method is approximately 91.9. Originality/value CTAB-stabilized PAni has never been studied as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in an acidic medium. The investigations demonstrate relatively the better corrosion inhibition efficiency and high dispersion of the polymer in the acidic medium.
