Alkaline corrosion is one of the main issues faced by the industries. The main chemicals abundantly used in industries are NaOH, H3PO4, HCl, and H2SO4. Corrosion control of metals has technical, economical, environmental, and aesthetical importance. The use of inhibitors is one of the best options to protect metals and alloys against corrosion. The corrosion protection of mild steel in 1 M NaOH solution by mix of Henna/Zeolite powder was studied at different temperatures by weight loss technique. Adsorption, activation, and statistical studies were addressed in this work. Adsorption studies showed that inhibitor adsorbed on metal surface according to Langmuir isotherm. Surface studies were performed by using UV-spectra and SEM. The adsorption of inhibitor on the steel surface was found to obey Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the inhibitor in NaOH medium. Inhibition mechanism is deduced from the concentration and temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency, Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm, SEM, and UV spectroscopic results.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inhibition effect of hydralazine hydrochloride as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1M HCl. The inhibition effect was studied at different temperatures, ranging from 303 to 333°K. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency of hydralazine hydrochloride was analyzed using weight loss, Tafel polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and surface morphology methods. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1M HCl was studied and discussed using an adsorption isotherm and activation parameters. Findings – Weight loss, polarization and impedance showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with an increase in the concentration of hydralazine hydrochloride for mild steel in 1M HCl. The inhibitive action may be attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the active sites of the metal surface by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization curves indicated that hydralazine hydrochloride acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on inhibited and uninhibited mild steel samples to characterize the surface. Thermodynamic parameter indicated that the adsorption of hydralazine hydrochloride is a spontaneous process and the adsorption occurs chemically. Originality/value – The inhibition effect of hydralazine hydrochloride for mild steel has been investigated at different temperatures, ranging from 303 to 333°K. Hydralazine hydrochloride was a good inhibitor at a higher temperature.

A new ionic liquid, N-octyl-2-pyrrolidonium chloride (NOPC), were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for mild steel (Q235) corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl. The adsorption behavior and corrosion inhibition mechanism of NOPC for mild steel in HCl solution were investigated by using weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, and SEM. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increasing concentration of NOPC in 1 mol/L HCl and decreases as the temperature increases. The results indicate that NOPC is able to function as a mixed type inhibitor.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of Landolphia heudelotii (LH) on mild steel in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H2SO4 using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Design/methodology/approach Water extract of LH was used as corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in acidic media at room temperature and elevated temperatures (30-60°C). Various concentrations of the plant extract were prepared from the stock solution obtained after solvent extraction. The inhibition efficiency of LH extract was evaluated and mechanism of adsorption was deduced. Findings LH extract showed significant corrosion inhibition on mild steel in both acidic media, with inhibition efficiency increasing with extract concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements revealed mixed inhibition mechanism. Optimum inhibition efficiency was recorded at 2500 mg/L after 288 h. Mechanism of adsorption was mainly of physisorption. The inhibitor exhibited good inhibition efficiency even at elevated temperature. Research limitations/implications This study provides new data on the anticorrosion characteristics of LH extract under the specified conditions. Further studies could expand the experimental variables and use advanced surface probe techniques. Practical implications The developed inhibitor provides an alternative method of inhibiting corrosion on mild steel using eco-friendly materials from natural products which are less toxic, safer, cost-effective and readily available. Originality/value The method used was effective and the inhibitor developed can be incorporated in surface coatings where mild steel is used as construction materials, as tube sheets, rods and bars.

The adsorption behavior and inhibition mechanism of (1, 4, 7-Tris [hydrogen (6-methylpyridin-2-yl) phosphonate] -1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane) (TPP) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl were investigated by weight loss technique, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods for different concentrations at 25°C. The results show that the inhibition efficiency values depend on the amount of immersion times and the concentration. A 90% efficiency is found at the highest concentration of the studied compound according to weight loss measurements. The adsorption of the investigated inhibitor on the mild steel surface was well supported using an AFM study. For the assignment of the absorption sites, we performed quantum chemical calculations with (DFT) method. The interaction between the inhibitor and iron surface were performed by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. In this paper, experimental methods and results used to assess the efficiency of the studied compound are presented.

The corrosion inhibition performance of ethanol extract of Andrographis paniculata (King Bitter) root (EEAPR) on the corrosion of Mild Steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl and H2SO4 acid solutions at 303K and elevated temperatures of 313, 323 and 333K was investigated and compared. The experimental work was performed by the use of weight loss and hydrogen evolution techniques. The results indicate that the extract inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in both acid media. However, the EEAPR exhibits higher maximum inhibition efficiency of 98.9 % in HCl than in H2SO4 (95.0 %) at 5.0 g/L. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing concentration of extract in both acid media but decreased with rise in temperature. Inhibition mechanism was deduced from the temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency as well as from activation parameters that govern the process. Adsorption of extract on the MS sample in both acid media was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The phenomenon of physical adsorption is proposed from the obtained thermodynamic parameters.Â

The inhibition efficiency of the novel synthesized corrosion inhibitor namely, 5,5’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-mercapto-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole) (PBMMT) have been studied for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid environment by using gravimetric techniques. PBMMT show high inhibition efficiency at 0.5 mM. The adsorption isotherm of the investigated inhibitor on the surface of mild steel obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The surface morphology was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the absence and presence of PBMMT as corrosion inhibitor. The results show that the mild steel surface in presence of PBMMT 0.5 mM was smooth and uncorroded in 1 M HCl solution. Quantum chemical calculations were quite fitted with the experimental findings.

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.

The effect of sodium tungstate on the passivation behavior of grille sheet made by mild steel was studied using corrosion tests and electrochemical measurements in 1 M HCl, 0.5 M NaCl and 1 M NaOH solutions, open to air at 25 °C. The grille sheet showed the highest corrosion resistance properties in 1 M NaOH solution as compared with 1 M HCl and 0.5 M NaCl solutions. The corrosion resistance properties of the steel sheet was decreased with increasing the concentration of sodium tungstate up to 800 ppm and its corrosion inhibition efficiency was increased with increasing the concentration. The open circuit potential of the mild steel sheet was more negative value in 0.5 M NaCl than that in 1 M HCl, whereas more positive potential value was observed in 1 M NaOH than in 0.5 M NaCl solution. It was found that the mild steel sheet used in the study was found to be more passive in 1 M NaOH than in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M NaCl solutions. Hence, a more stable anodic passive film was formed on the surface of the steel sheet in 1 M NaOH than those in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M NaCl solutions from electrochemical measurements.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(2): 183-190

Alkaloids as green inhibitors were extracted from three different plants Rhynchostylis retusa, Artimesia vulgaris,and Solanum tuberosum. Weight loss measurement in mild steel has been carried out in the presence and absence of green inhibitors individually in an acidic medium. Weight loss measurements at different temperatures are used to calculate thermodynamic parameters. The weight loss measurements at different concentrations are used to find adsorption isotherm and found that it obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm with R2 values 1, 1, 0.996 for three inhibitors. Activation energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the three inhibitors have been calculated. It is found that the value of all these parameters increased in the addition of inhibitors. The free energy of the system is calculated and found (-17.46 kJ mol-1) indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous and there is physical adsorption at the MS-Inhibitor interface.
