The potential of triethylenetetramine (TETA) to inhibit the oxidation of pyrite in H2SO4solution had been investigated by using the open-circuit potential (OCP), cyclic voltammetry (CV), potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance (EIS), respectively. Experimental results indicate that TETA is an efficient coating agent in preventing the oxidation of pyrite and that the inhibition efficiency is more pronounced with the increase of TETA. The data from potentiodynamic polarization show that the inhibition efficiency (η%) increases from 42.08% to 80.98% with the concentration of TETA increasing from 1% to 5%. These results are consistent with the measurement of EIS (43.09% to 82.55%). The information obtained from potentiodynamic polarization also displays that the TETA is a kind of mixed type inhibitor.

This paper is mainly to discuss that myclobutanil as corrosion inhibitor and its corrosion efficiency were evaluated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization. The potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed that the inhibition efficiency increases sharply with the increasing of concentration of myclobutanil, and the highest inhibition efficiency of the myclobutanil reached 84.3% at 3.2×10-4 mol/L in 1 mol/L HCl. The result also indicated that myclobutanil belongs to the mixed type inhibitor. The results obtained from EIS measurements are in good agreement with that obtained from potentiodynamic polarization.

The corrosion inhibition properties of methanol extract of Jatropha curcas (JC) were investigated for mild steel (MS) in acidic medium using weight loss and potentiodynamic methods. Corrosion inhibition of MS in 1MH2SO4 was studied in the absence and presence of various concentrations of the methanolic extract of Jatropha curcas barks. The results showed an increase in corrosion inhibition with increasing concentration of the extract. The inhibition efficiency of 1000 ppm JC extract from the weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods were approximately 92.0% after 24 hours immersion in the acidic solution. Open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed that the JC extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.

The organic material named 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-trizole-3-thiol (APTT) was studied as inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1.0 M HCl at 30 °C. The effects of turbulent flow on the inhibition process were characterized using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Turbulent flow condition experiments were simulated by Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE). Results obtained from changes of open circuit potential (OCP) with immersion time, potentiodynamic polarization, and impedance measurements all are in good agreement and indicated that the formation and the development of the inhibitor film were flow rate dependence. The scanning electron micrograph confirmed film structure is dependence of flow condition.

In this study, the effect of the addition of Nd3+ ions as a corrosion inhibitor of the API X70 steel in a medium rich in chlorides was evaluated. The performance of the Nd3+ ions was evaluated by means of electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, open circuit potential measurements, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, as well as by means of scanning electron microscopy and EDS measurements. The results showed that Nd3+ ions reduce the corrosion rate of steel at concentrations as low as 0.001 M Nd3+. At higher concentrations, the inhibition efficiency was only slightly affected although the concentration of chloride ions was increased by the addition of the inhibitor. The adsorption of the Nd3+ ions promotes the formation of a protective layer of oxides/hydroxides on the metal surface, thereby reducing the exchange rate of electrons. Nd3+ ions act as a mixed inhibitor with a strong predominant cathodic effect.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the inhibitive effect of metolazone on API 5L X-52 steel in 2 M HCl solution using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization techniques within a temperature range of 303 to 323 K. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also employed to study the morphology of the corroded coupons in 2 M HCl solution and in the presence of the inhibitor. The efficiency of the inhibition depends on the concentration of metolazone and reaction system temperature. The maximum inhibition efficiency values were 92.7 and 90.7%, respectively, for both EIS and polarization techniques at the temperature of 303 K. The electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) studies reveal that the process of inhibition is through charge transfer. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) studies showed that metolazone is mixed-type inhibitor.  The metolazone adsorption characteristics on API 5L X-52 steel surface was found to be spontaneous and obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the mechanism of adsorption suggest chemisorptions. The inhibition efficiency of metolazone drug obtained by electrochemical methods was in good relationship with each other.                     KEY WORDS: Metolazone drug, API 5L X-52 Steel, SEM, Electrochemical, Corrosion inhibition   Bull.

The inhibitory effect of glycerol on copper corrosion in aerated NaCl (0.5 M) solutions at three pH values (4, 7, and 10) was evaluated. Inhibition efficiency was assessed with conventional electrochemical techniques: open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance analysis. Glycerol reduced the corrosion rate of copper in NaCl solutions. The best inhibition effect (η≈83%) was produced in alkaline (pH 10) chloride media. This effect can be ascribed to increased viscosity and the presence of copper-glycerol complexes.

Inhibitive impact of Akuamma seed (AS) extract toward 1.0M HCl corrosion of aluminum was examined using response surface methodology (RSM). Gravimetric (weight loss), potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques were used in the corrosion inhibition process. In all the method used, the seed extract acted as good corrosion inhibitor of aluminum in 1.0M HCl solution. Optimal inhibition efficiency of 72.6% was obtained at optimum inhibition concentration of 1.2g/l, temperature of 304.19k and maximized time of 11.53hrs. It showed that the plant extract has excellent inhibitive properties for the corrosion inhibition process. The values of kads are relatively small indicating that the interaction between the adsorbed extract molecules and aluminum surface is a physical process. The (AS) extract protects aluminum against pitting corrosion. The level of protection increases with increase extract concentrations. The extract inhibited both cathodic and anodic reactions and acted as mixed-type inhibitor.

Study of corrosion inhibition for mild steel in 1M HCl by Clinopodium acinos (CA) extract was evaluated by altered methods. These methods are WL, electrochemical tests (Electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) and surface examination performances (AFM, ATR- FTIR and XPS). The CA extract concentrations are (50, 100, 150, 200, 250,300 ppm) at altered temperatures 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 0C.WL curves showed raising the inhibition efficiency of M-S by increasing CA concentration and lowering the temperature. PP curves explained that CA extract act as a mixed type inhibitor. The green inhibitor was utilized because of its lower price and not affect the environment.

The corrosion inhibition properties of the acidic extract of Eucalyptus globulus (EG) was investigated for mild steel (MS) using the weight loss method and open circuit potential (OCP) measurement. Corrosion inhibition of MS in 0.1M HCl was studied in the absence and presence of various concentrations of the acidic extract of EG barks. The results showed an increase in corrosion inhibition with increasing concentration of the extract. The inhibition efficiency of 100% EG extract was approximately 98.0% after 24 hours immersion in the acidic solution. FTIR spectrum showed the presence of compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen functional groups responsible for forming barrier layers onto MS surface. Open circuit potential (OCP) measurements showed that the EG extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor.
