Investigation of the corrosion inhibition properties of benzonitrile compound on the surface degradation of quenched 420 martensitic steel in 6 M H2SO4 was evaluated through the application of potentiodynamic polarization method, micro analytical study and ATR-FTIR spectroscopic analysis. Experimental data showed optimal inhibition performance of the compound with peak inhibition efficiency of 99.4% with mixed type inhibition but dominant anodic inhibition properties. The inhibiting compound significantly influenced the thermodynamic behaviour of the steel resulting in chemisorption adsorption mechanism onto steel surface in consonance with Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models with correlation coefficients of 1 and 0.7570. The transmittance of identified functional groups of benzonitrile from ATR-FTIR spectroscopy decreased at extended wavelengths due to surface coverage and adsorption of the compound onto the steel.

The present study was initiated with an objective of investigating a plant extract as an effective corrosion inhibitor useful for protection of carbon steel in aqueous environment containing chloride ions. For this purpose, the leaf extract of the plant ‘Aerva lanata’ belonging to Amaranthaceae family of genus Aerva was chosen. The required optimum concentration of the extract for an effective inhibition was found to be 5 %, resulting in the inhibition efficiency of 95 % against corrosion of carbon steel in 200 ppm of NaCl solution. The extract introduced as a corrosion inhibitor was found to be effective in the pH range from 4.0 to 9.0. The extract could retain its inhibition efficiency for about an immersion period of 60 days and also up to a temperature of 333 K. The 5 % extract was found to control corrosion of carbon steel in highly aggressive medium containing 300 ppm of NaCl also. In order to maintain the protective nature, the required concentration of the extract was 2 %. From these studies, it was inferred that the Aerva lanata leaf extract exhibits good inhibitive properties for carbon steel in aqueous environment in wide ranges of pH, temperature and aggressiveness of medium.

The deposition of BaSO4scale is always found in the oilfield. It is difficult to be removed. Therefore, it plays a negative role to the production. The effects of temperature and water chemistry on BaSO4scale have been investigated by using the conductivity method in this work. An environment-friendly copolymer was prepared to control the scaling of BaSO4. The copolymer was proved by static scale inhibition method, and weight-loss test that it has excellent scale inhibition performance and corrosion inhibition efficiency. Furthermore, FTIR spectra was used to prove that the scale inhibitor was polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA).

Ligustrum vulgare is an evergreen tree. The leaves are opposite, glossy dark green, 6–17 centimetres (2.4–6.7 in) long and 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) broad. The ligustrum vulgare leaves contain two main components, one of which is oleanolic acid and the other is p-hydroxyphenylethanol which indicates its extracts suitable to be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor. Extracts of ligustrum vulgare leaves (PE) were modified with hydroxymethylation reaction (PM1) and Mannich reaction (PM2) to produce the relative stable green acidic corrosion inhibitors. The extracts of ligustrum vulgare leaves have been investigated on the corrosion inhibition of A3 steel with weight loss. The results show that these inhibitors have good corrosion inhibition effect on A3 steel. The PM2 are the most effective for corrosion inhibition, and the inhibition efficiency can reach 75.95%. When the temperature is 60°C, the corrosion inhibition rate of PE, PM1, PM2 is only 24.46%, 42.35% and 39.35% respectively which can not effectively prevent the corrosion of the metal. And the extracts inhibit corrosion mainly by adsorption mechanism. This adsorption accords with Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

A significant correlation was obtained between corrosion inhibition efficiency and the molecular structure of ascorbic acid, using the Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) approach based on a multivariate nonlinear regression technique. It is proposed that inhibitor molecules attach to iron surface by means of chemical adsorption. The considerations leading to this assumption were confirmed by ATR FTIR spectroscopy.

<p>The inhibition efficiency of molybdate ions (MoO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>) against tin corrosion in 0.2 M Malic acid has been studied using electrochemical (DC and AC) and surface analytical methods (SEM and EDX). The electrochemical polarization curves revealed the presence of an active/passive transition of the tin electrode. The electrochemical impedance measurements (EIS) confirmed the benefic effect of increasing MoO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> concentration on the inhibition efficiency (η %) (reaching η<sub>max </sub>≈ 88% at 0.02 M), whereas η % decreases by increasing temperature. The molybdate ions inhibition mechanism was attributed to the adsorption on the metal surface involving the formation of the adsorbed protective layer.<strong></strong></p>

Gravimetric and statistical analysis was utilized to assess the inhibition performance of extracts of green tea and moringa on 1070 aluminum in 0.5M H2SO4 solution. Data output showed green tea extract performed more effectively than moringa extract, and at all concentrations studied with optimal inhibition efficiency value of 95.08% compared to moringa which performed effectively at only one concentration with optimal value of 72.38%. Inhibition efficiency values for both extracts varied significantly with reference to exposure time and extract concentration. The optimal mean inhibition value for green tea and moringa extracts are 88.71% and 66.65%. However, the least standard deviation value of 6.22 was obtained for green tea extract with highest inhibition value indication stable inhibition and thermodynamic stability with reference to exposure time. Statistical data showed 90.5% of inhibition output for green tea extract and 9.52% of inhibition output for moringa extract were above 70% inhibition efficiency at margin of error of +12.6. Analysis of variance showed exposure time is the only statistically relevant variable influencing the inhibition output of green tea with statistical value of 78% while exposure time and moringa extract concentration are the both statistically relevant variables influencing the inhibition output of moringa with values of 61.02% and 24.02%.

The aquatic plant kingdom is a treasure of potential bioactive compounds. Aquatic plants contain some organic compounds that provide definite physiological actions on the human body. In the present study deals with the synergistic effect of Trisodium citrate (TSC)on the inhibition efficiency of methanolic extract of Sargassum swartzii (SS) and Zn2+ system on mild steel in aqueous environment. The corrosion monitoring techniques adopted in the study were weight-loss methods, electrochemical measurements, FT-IR and surface morphological techniques namely SEM and EDX. It has proved the formulation consisting of 100 ppm of Zn2+, 120 ppm of SS and 100 ppm of TSC has 95.77% IE. The high performance of SS - Zn 2+- TSC system could be due to synergistic effect that covers a wide surface coverage area on the metal surface and thus retarding the corrosion. Polarization study reveals that this formulation functions as a mixed inhibitor. AC impedance spectra suggest the presence of protective film on the metal surface. FT-IR spectra reveals that the protective film consists of Fe2+-SS complex, Fe2+-TSC complex and Zn (OH)2. SEM and EDX provide a pictorial representation on the nature of surface film in the absence and presence of inhibitors. Thus, it concluded that Sargassum swartzii - Zn 2+- TSC inhibitor system acted as a good inhibitor in aqueous medium.

The corrosion behavior of aluminum (Al) in alkaline media in presence of some natural polymer inhibitors has been reinvestigated. The inhibition action of the tested inhibitors was found to obey both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing the inhibitors concentration and decrease with increasing the temperature, suggesting physical adsorption mechanism. Factors such as the concentration and geometrical structure of the inhibitor, concentration of the corrosive medium, and temperature affecting the corrosion rates were examined. The kinetic parameters were evaluated, and a suitable corrosion mechanism consistent with the kinetic results obtained is suggested and discussed.

The static scale inhibition method will be used to evaluate the scale inhibition performance of HEDP. In order to study the corrosion inhibition of 20A steel with additive of HEDP in the industrial boiler water medium,the total iron ions in the solution are determined through autoclave static experiments. The results indicated that the scale inhibition efficiency,in the simulation boiler water with a certain concentration ratio and temperature,reached the maximum when CHEDP is 7 mg/L. It has a good corrosion inhibition effect on the 20A steel when the HEDP concentration exceeds 15ppm.
