Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl. Design/methodology/approach – A pharmaceutical drug acetyl G was investigated for its corrosion inhibition efficiency using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. Results from polarisation studies revealed mixed type of inhibition. Impedance studies, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface. Research limitations/implications – The drug acetyl G has sulphur and nitrogen atoms which effectively block the corrosion of mild steel and is non-toxic and has good inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – This method provides an excellent, non-toxic and cost-effective material as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. Originality/value – Application of this drug as a corrosion inhibitor has not been reported yet in the literature. Replacing the organic inhibitors, this green inhibitor shows excellent inhibition efficiency. This is adsorbed excellently on the mild steel surface due to the presence of long chain and hetero atoms. Thus, the drug retards the corrosion reaction.

Purpose – The aim of this research was to investigate the use of aqueous extracts of nettle plant (NE) as a green corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency was investigated by weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarizations, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, SEM observations and EDX analysis. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in concentration of NE up to a critical concentration of 1.5×10−3 g · cm−3 where the highest inhibition efficiency of 97 percent was obtained. The adsorption of the inhibitor was spontaneous (reflected by the negative value of ΔGads0), supported the mechanism of physical adsorption and obeyed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition action of the extracts was independent on the storage time; it could be conserved without any specific conditions of time and temperature. Research limitations/implications – The anticorrosion effect can be better understood when the active compound in the extracts is identified and what is the inhibition efficiency of one component in the presence of another in the mixture (synergetic or antagonist effects). Practical implications – Nettle is a healthy plant, without particular toxicity that can find possible applications as environmentally friendly inhibitor of mild steel used as materials in food industry. Originality/value – Aqueous nettle extracts were studied for the first time as corrosion inhibitor and its anticorrosion effect was proven by standard methods.

Pharmaceutically Active Compound

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M H2SO4 solution by the pharmaceutically active compound esomeprazole (ESP) has been investigated by using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior with the addition of different concentrations of ESP was studied in the temperature range of 30–60°C. Results obtained revealed that the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in concentration of the inhibitor but decreased with the increase in temperature. The addition of KI increased the inhibition of ESP to a considerable extent. The experimental results suggest that the presence of iodide ions in the solution stabilized the adsorption of the ESP molecule on the mild steel surface, thereby improving the inhibition efficiency. Polarization curves indicated that the ESP belonged to a mixed-type inhibitor. Adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Some thermodynamic functions of dissolution and adsorption processes were also determined. Surface analysis via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) shows a significant improvement in the surface morphology of the mild steel plate.

In this study, poly(m-aminophenol) (PMAP) coating was electrochemically synthesized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) on mild steel surface to investigate the effects of its barrier protection within the scope of its electrochemical impedance towards further oxidation of the mild steel substrates. The developed PMAP coating were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The barrier resistance ability of PMAP coating towards corrosion of mild steel was determined in 0.5 M aqueous sodium chloride solution (NaCl) at various immersion times by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The barrier properties were interpreted through impedance measurement using Nyquist and Bode plots. Equivalent electrical circuit models derived from the plots were employed to describe the coating barrier behaviour and performance. Data obtained showed that, the oxidation peak of PMAP coating were observed at potential +1.0 V (Ag/AgCl). The micrograph of FESEM indicates the formation of a dense and continous PMAP coatings. In FTIR analyses, the presence of peak around 1082 cm-1 ascribed to C–O–C etheric linkage which supported the formation of electro polymerized PMAP coating on mild steel surface. EIS measurement revealed that, PMAP coatings experienced a significant drop in total impedance values with time followed by the development of an electrochemical reactions on coating/metal interface, which indicates the gradual degradation of the barrier resistance ability of the PMAP coatings.

Two N-substituted thiosemicarbazone derivatives namely as 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide and 2-benzylidene-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L1 and L2, respectively) have been tested as corrosion inhibitors on mild steel in 1 M HCl. The ligands were synthesized and investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).  The obtained results indicated that inhibition efficiency, (IE, %) L1 increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations which behaved as a good corrosion inhibitor compared to L2. The synthesized ligands were successfully characterized by melting point, elemental analysis (C, H, N, and S), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The excellent inhibition effectiveness for both compounds on mild steel before and after immersion in 1 M HCl solution containing 40 ppm of L1 and L2 were also verified by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on potentiodynamic polarization results, it can be concluded that all investigated compounds are mixed-type inhibitors and obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the inhibitive effect of polyaniline (PAni) and N-cetyl-N,N,N trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized PAni in a hydrochloric acid (HCl) medium. Design/methodology/approach PAni has been deposited potentiodynamically on mild steel in the presence of CTAB as a stabilizing agent to achieve high corrosion inhibition performance by the polymer deposition. The corrosion inhibition studies of CTAB-stabilized PAni inhibitor in 0.1 M HCl acidic solution was carried out by electrochemical methods, namely, open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. Findings The results of electrochemical studies have shown that the CTAB-stabilized PAni inhibitor has higher corrosion efficiency than PAni on mild steel in 0.1 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.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the inhibition effect of a newly synthesized1,2,3-triazole containing a carbohydrate and imidazole substituents, namely, 1-((1-((2,2,7,7-tetramethyltetrahydro-5H-bis([1,3]dioxolo)[4,5-b:4′,5′-d]pyran-5-yl)methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (TTB) on the corrosion of mild steel in aerated 1 M H2SO4. Design/methodology/approach The authors have used weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, FT-IR studies, scanning electron microscopy analysis and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy techniques. Findings It is found that, in the working range of 298-328 K, the inhibition efficiency of TTB increases with increasing concentration to attain the highest value (92 per cent) at 2.5 × 10−3 M. Both chemisorption and physisorption of TTB take place on the mild steel, resulting in the formation of an inhibiting film. Computational methods point to the imidazole and phenyl ring as the main structural parts responsible of adsorption by electron-donating to the steel surface, while the triazol ring is responsible for the electron accepting. Such strong donating–accepting interactions lead to higher inhibition efficiency of TTB in the aqueous working system. Originality/value This work is original with the aim of finding new acid corrosion inhibitors.

Weight Loss Method

Effect of addition of theobroma cacao peels extract (TCPE), a new proposed green inhibitor, on tensile and hardness properties, and related microstructure of mild steel exposed in solution of 1.5M HCl was investigated in order to know the contribution of this kind of inhibitor in controlling mechanical properties, in addition to reducing corrosion attack. Corrosion behaviors including inhibition mechanism and adsorption process during exposure were then discussed. Corrosion rate and inhibitory efficiency of mild steel samples containing 0.3%C were determined using weight loss method. The samples were exposed in the acid solution with and without addition of 0.5-2.5% the TCPE. Tensile and hardness tests were subsequently performed on the samples to determine the change of mechanical properties of the metal prior and after addition of the extracts. Sample surface morphologies and chemical composition as well were observed by a scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results show that the strength, hardness and elongation of mild steel drop significantly due to heavy damage in the surface after immersion in the HCl solution for 32 days. However, these mechanical properties gradually increase with increasing concentration of the extract following the increase of surface coverage and inhibition efficiency. The increase of the tensile properties and hardness is due mainly to the ability of the inhibitor to cover mild steel surface through formation of metal-organo complexes protection layer in the surface of the mild steel. Although total carbon level in the surface of the mild steel also increases significantly, there is no any proof of carbon difussion into the mild steel. The addition of polar extract of theobroma cacao peels into a solution of 1.5 M HCl is, therefore, not only effective to minimize the degradation on the mild steel surface, but it also diminishes the mechanical properties reduction of the mild steel.
