Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to find a simple and easy-operated method for filtering eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. Design/methodology/approach – The molecular structures and atomic electronegativities of the four kinds of natural reagents, iota-Carrageenan, sodium alginate, sodium dodecanesulphonate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate were calculated by Gaussian and Natural Bond Orbital, and the corrosion inhibition rates were forecasted by the calculated results. Then, the realistic corrosion inhibition efficiency were confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests in 3.5 Wt.% sodium chloride corrosive solutions. At the same time, the function of pefloxacin mesylate (PM) was explored in this paper polarization tests in 3.5 Wt.% sodium chloride corrosive solutions. Findings – Results showed that the order calculated by the chemical software was correct, and the corrosion inhibition of SDS was the best. Optimum addition of PM not only can reduce microbial corrosion but also can improve the corrosion inhibition by spatial cooperation. Practical implications – This method can be used to filter eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors quickly. PM can be also used to improve the corrosion inhibition rate of corrosion inhibitors. Originality/value – The present method to filter corrosion inhibitors was time-consuming, which needed lots of experiments to verify the corrosion inhibitive efficiency. The calculated method was simpler than others, which need complicated calculation process.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is investigate the inhibition efficiency of three similar bi-cyclic organic compounds, namely, benzimidazole (BI), benzotriazole (BTAH) and benzothiazole (BTH) on carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Organic inhibitors are widely used to protect metals in acidic media. Among abundant suggestions for acid corrosion inhibitors, azole compounds have gained attention. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency of the three organic compounds was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Findings – Superiorities of BTH and BTAH corrosion inhibitors were shown by EIS data and polarization curves. Moreover, the results revealed that BTAH and BTH can function as effective mixed-type adsorptive inhibitors, whereas no inhibition behavior was observed for BI. Both BTAH and BTH obeyed Longmuir adsorption isotherm. The results obtained from this isotherm showed that both inhibitors adsorbed on the specimen surface physically and chemically. The difference in inhibition efficiencies of BTAH, BTH and BI was related to the presence of nitrogen and sulfur hetero atoms on their molecular structures. Originality/value – This study evaluated inhibition efficiency of BI, BTAH and BTH using electrochemical methods. In addition, the study attempted to find inhibition mechanism of the inhibitors and to find modes of adsorption of the inhibitors, correlating effects of heteroatoms and inhibition efficiency.

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 This study attempts to investigate corrosion inhibition properties of 1H-benzimidazole (B) and 1H-benzotriazole (BTA) on aluminum in 0.25 M HCl solution at different concentrations. Design/methodology/approach To this end, electrochemical techniques including electrochemical noise (EN), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization were used. Findings Results showed a greater corrosion inhibition efficiency of BTA than B on aluminum in HCl solution. BTA showed greater tendency to adsorption on the metal surface than B because of the inclusion of three nitrogen atoms. Originality/value The novelty of this work is comparing EN data with EIS and potentiodynamic polarization parameters.

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.

Corrosion results in considerable materials and equipment failure. According to one survey, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the total interruption in industries is due to detrimental effects of corrosion. It is, therefore, important to prevent corrosion to guarantee the reliability of the assets. The present work is aimed to explore the purpose of CeO2 as a carrier for corrosion inhibitors and its capability to release inhibitors, to achieve decent corrosion protection efficiency in epoxy-based polymeric nanocomposite coatings. Amine-based corrosion inhibitors (N-methylthiourea NMTU and Dodecylamine DDA) were used for CeO2 nano container modification, and corrosion inhibition efficiency has been explored utilizing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Loading of inhibitor into nanocontainer has been confirmed through Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). It was observed that 25% and 29.75% w/w of NMTU and DDA were loaded into nanocontainers, confirmed through Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis endorsed the formation of a protective layer on a scratch area to protect steel from the external environment. This protective layer played a very important role in protecting steel from progressing corrosion on the defect site from the aggressiveness of the solution. EIS measurements revealed the decent corrosion inhibition efficiency of these inhibitors in order of DDA>NMTU. As a result, they are a favorable solution for longer endurance of coated piping steel and decreased operation expense contributing to economic savings, materials reliability and safety.
