The eco-friendly inhibitor is used to safeguard the environment as well as the industrial equipments where corrosive acids are used for cleaning purposes. The inhibition ability of Atalantia monophylla leaves (AML) on the deterioration of mild steel (MS) in acid medium was investigated by mass loss and electrochemical techniques. The inhibition capability raised with rising the concentration of AML extract from weight loss method, immersion period and temperature studies. Electrochemical studies data explained in which AML inhibitor performed like cathodic and anodic type of inhibitor in corrosive medium. The adsorbed layer formed on the metal due to AML extract fulfilled the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The formation of the protective film on the MS surface was acknowledged by SEM, EDS and FTIR. All the techniques proved AML as acceptable corrosion inhibitor in 1N HCl medium.

The inhibition efficiencies of inhibitor systems constituting various combinations of resorcinol and zinc ions in controlling corrosion of carbon steel immersed in well water have been evaluated by weight loss method. 75 ppm of zinc has 36% inhibition efficiency (Immersion period =7 days). When 100 ppm of resorcinol is added, the IE increases to 96%. The nature of the protective film formed on the metal surface has been analyzed by FTIR spectra, SEM and AFM analysis. The protective film is found to consist of Fe2+ - resorcinol complex and Zn(OH)2.

New coumarin namely 2-(3-(7-methylcoumarin)acetamido)benzoic acid (MAB) was successfully synthesized by reaction of ethyl 2-(7-methylcoumarin)acetate with anthranilic acid. The chemical structure of MAB was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopies and Elemental Analysis. The inhibition performance of MAB was investigated using the weight loss method. The results illustrate the strong adsorption of MAB molecules on the mild steel coupon surface and this adsorption follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. DFT calculations were performed to show the relationship between the MAP molecular structure and inhibition performance.

An alcoholic extract of a sea weed Sargassum muticum has been used to control corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 N HCl. Weight loss method and Electrochemical studies have been used in this study. Weight loss study reveals that 500 ppm of the inhibitor offers 99.25 % inhibition efficiency. Polarization study reveals that the inhibitor functions as an anodic inhibitor at higher concentration. The AC impedance spectra confirm the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the metal surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Thermodynamic, kinetic and adsorptive parameters of methanolic extract of leaves of Cochlospermum tinctorium as eco-friendly inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in HCl medium were evaluated through the weight loss method at 303 K and 311 K. The inhibition efficiency, %IE, increased with increase in extract concentration, but found to be better at 303 K than 311 K. The decrease in %IE with increase in temperature with the average value of 81.88 kJ/mol for activation energy, E a , and the values of free energy, ÄG, for the adsorption process are all supportive of physical adsorption mechanism. The values of heat of adsorption, Q ads,, are all negative, an indication that the adsorption process was exothermal. The half-life, t 1/2 , value increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and low at high higher, implying the inhibitor performance increased with increase in the extract concentration and decreased with rise in temperature. The data best fitted the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of sodium molybdate (SM) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in an aqueous solution containing 120 ppm of Cl-, in the absence and presence of Zn2+has been evaluated by weight-loss method. A synergistic effect exists between SM and Zn2+when the concentration of Zn2+is 25 ppm and above. Inhibition efficiencies obtained are greater than 85%. Antagonistic effect exists between SM and Zn2+when the concentration of Zn2+is 10 ppm and below. The SM-Zn2+system shows excellent IE up to third day. Above third day IE decreases. Acceleration of corrosion takes place. Excellent IE is shown at pH 5,7 and 12. At pH 9, IE decreases since Zn2+is precipitated as Zn(OH)2in the bulk of the solution. Polarization study reveals that SM-Zn2+system functions as a mixed inhibitor. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+-SM complex and Zn(OH)2.

The thermodynamic properties and characterizations of corrosion inhibition of chitosan nano-particles on the surface of mild steel in peat water media had been studied using weight loss method at temperatures of 30 - 50 <sup>o</sup>C. Steel surfaces were characterized by FT-IR spectra and SEM-EDS morphology photos. The research found that the value of DG<sup>o </sup>approaching -40 kJmol<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>. The negative value of Gibbs free energy shows that the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel was achemisorption and it occurred spontaneously. Meanwhile, the values of DH<sup>o </sup>is also negative confirming that the adsoprtion of inhibitor molecules is an exothermic process. The value of DS<sup>o </sup>obtained is positive, it indicates hat the inhibitor molecules were adsorbed spontaneously on the mild steel surface. The analysis on mild steel surfaces hows that the nano-particle chitosan was adsorbed on the steel surface to form the complex compounds.

Purpose Although stainless steel (SS) has good corrosion resistance in most aqueous solutions, it suffers corrosion in some solutions which contain aggressive ions such as sulfide ions. This study aims to use some cephalosporins (cefotaxime, cephapirin and cefazolin) as corrosion inhibitors of commercial SS in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing sulfide ions at 30°C. Design/methodology/approach The study was carried out using weight loss method, potential-time, linear polarization, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance measurements, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Findings The presence of the cephalosporin compound in the corrosive medium shifted the corrosion potential of SS to much positive side, which enhances self-passivation of SS, and the shifting increased with increasing inhibitor concentration. The cephalosporin compounds worked as effective inhibitors with mainly anodic and the efficiency increase as cefotaxime < cephapirin < cefazolin. The inhibitors form a protective adsorbed layer, which enriches the surface content of Ni and Cr and thus assists the SS to be passive. Originality/value The antibiotics cephalosporins could be used as effective corrosion inhibitors for SS in acidic solutions containing sulfide ions. The inhibitors enhances the the passive oxide film of SS even in presence of aggressive ions such as sulfide ions.

This work aims to find the inhibition efficiency of Alstonia schoalris leaves on mild steel in 1N HCl medium. Corrosion monitoring was done using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization studies like Tafel and impedance studies and the results shows that the inhibitor acts well on mild steel in acidic medium. Polarization studies show that the inhibitor behaves like a mixed type. The inhibitor was characterized using FTIR which showed the presence of hetero atoms in the inhibitor molecule that get adsorbed on metal surface and provided better efficiency and that was proven by different adsorption isotherm. Zeta potential showed the stability of particle in the medium. Surface analysis of specimen was studied using FESEM, EDX and contact angle measurements. The analysis showed that the surface exposed to inhibitor is less corroded and contact angle measurement showed hydrophilic nature of the surface. Here, the inhibition is attributed to the electrostatic interaction of active sites on metal and inhibitor.

The inhibition efficiency of a phosphonic acid, Diethylene Triamine Pentamethylene Phosphonic acid (DTPMP) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel immersed in an aqueous solution containing 60 ppm of Cl-has been evaluated by weight loss method in the absence and presence of Zn2+. The formulation consisting of DTPMP and Zn2+has excellent inhibition efficiency (IE). A synergistic effect is noticed between Zn2+and DTPMP. Addition of sodium gluconate (SG) enhances the IE of Zn2+and DTPMP system. The DTPMP-Zn2+-SG system function as a mixed inhibitor as revealed by polarization study. AC impedance spectrum, optical and atomic force micrographs reveal the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+-DTPMP complex, Fe2+-SG complex and Zn(OH)2.
