Abstract The controlling of alkaline scale deposition on carbon steel surface in seawater by Oat extract was probed by means of current/time transients, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) examinations. Nucleation, scale formation and coverage of carbon steel with alkaline scales were detected by current/time curves. The results demonstrate that the retardation in alkaline scale formation is controlled by Oat extract, with 86% efficiency at the highest concentration. The scale growth inhibition is due to the adsorption of Oat extract components on the active growth sites of crystal surfaces.

Organoclay nanoparticles (Cloisite® C10A, Cloisite® C15) and their combination with carbon black (N330) were studied as fillers in chloroprene/natural/butadiene rubber blends to prepare nanocomposites. The effect of filler type and load on the physical mechanical properties of nanocomposites was determined and correlated with its structure, compatibility and cure properties using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and rheometric analysis. Physical mechanical properties were improved by organoclays at 5–7 phr. Nanocomposites with organoclays exhibited a remarkable increase up to 46% in abrasion resistance. The improvement in properties was attributed to good organoclay dispersion in the rubber matrix and to the compatibility between them and the chloroprene rubber. Carbon black at a 40 phr load was not the optimal concentration to interact with organoclays. The present study confirmed that organoclays can be a reinforcing filler for high performance applications in rubber nanocomposites.

The corrosion protection efficacy of electrochemically synthesized poly(2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid) (P2ABSA) on carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Tafel polarisation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR spectral studies. The polymeric coating was prepared on the steel surface using cyclic voltammetry. Investigations established that P2ABSA effectively prevent the metal dissolution in HCl medium. Polarisation studies revealed that this polymer hinder both anodic and cathodic process of corrosion appreciably. The structures of the chemically and electrochemically synthesised polymers were compared using IR spectroscopy. Morphology of the steel surface confirmed the intact response of P2ABSA on steel surface treated with HCl.

Epoxy coating formulations containing 1%, 3%, and 5% SiO2 nanoparticles were produced and applied on a mild steel substrate to achieve the objective of high performance corrosion resistance. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was employed to measure the anticorrosive properties of coatings. The corrosion tests were performed by exposing the coated samples in a solution of 3.5% NaCl for different periods of time, varied from 1 h and up to 30 days. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed the presence of nanoparticles in the final cured samples. Establishing the incorporation of the nanoparticles in the coating formulations was confirmed by employing both of XRD and FT-IR techniques. The FT-IR spectra have proved to be satisfactory indicating that there was a complete reaction between the epoxy resin with the hardener. EIS measurements confirmed that the presence and the increase of SiO2 nanoparticles greatly improved the corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating. The highest corrosion resistance for the coatings was obtained for the formulation with 5% SiO2 nanoparticles content, particularly with prolonging the immersion time to 30 days.

The corrosion inhibition effect of some anionic surfactants (Diisononyl phthalate (A), N-oleyl-1, 3-propane –diamine (B), and Sodium lauryl sulphate (C)) on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1M hydrochloric acid solution were studied by chemical method (weight loss) and electrochemical methods (potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From the results, it was clear that these surfactants are good inhibitors for corrosion of carbon steel in 1M HCl solution. Their inhibition depends mainly on their concentrations and temperature of solution. Polarization data revealed that these surfactants act as mixed type inhibitors. The surfactants adsorptions were found to follow Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters of activation and adsorption were calculated and discussed. Adsorption of used surfactants led to a reduction in the double layer capacitance (Cdl) and an increase in the charge transfer resistance (Rct). All measurements used confirmed the adsorption of the surfactants used on carbon steel surface. Confirmation of these various independent techniques proved validity of the obtained data.

Novel ZnIn2S4/FeUiO-66 (ZFeU) photocatalyst with different proportion of FeUiO-66 has been successfully prepared by a facile one-pot solvothermal reaction. The as-synthesized nanocomposites have been thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) characterization, photoluminescence (PL) analysis and electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS). The photocatalytic performance of ZFeU nanocomposites for the photodegradation of RhB under visible light irradiation was better than that of ZnIn2S4 and FeUiO-66 alone. The experiment results showed the 20% ZFeU nanocomposites had the best photocatalytic properties. At the same time, a probable mechanism was discussed and it was believed that introduction of FeUiO-66 on ZnIn2S4 would minimize the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity.

This work proposes the use of albedo of orange peel in generation of carbon for applications in supercapacitors. For this, a comparison of compositional and electrochemical properties present in the carbons obtained of albedo, flavedo, and the complete orange peel was carried out. The morphology and composition of carbons obtained were analyzed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The synthetized carbons were not subjected to the activation process by chemical compounds to relate only the properties of orange peel parts with their electrochemical behaviour. All samples were tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The carbon obtained of albedo presented a superior specific capacitance (210 F/g) of the rest samples. The value of albedo-based carbon capacitance is comparable with works presented in the literature that used a whole orange peel with chemical activators. In this way, it is possible to obtain large capacitances using only a part of orange peel (albedo). Thus, the importance of this study is that the albedo can be proposed as a material applied to electrodes for supercapacitors while the flavedo can be used in food industry or for oil extraction.

The presence of salts and dissolved gas like CO2 that is carried with natural gas and crude oil along the pipeline is the main reason for corrosion and scale formation. These problems are usually resolved separately by corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors or acidification. Meanwhile, utilizing a compound to resolve both corrosion and scale formation has an advantage in the economic side and working time. N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan or N,O-CMCs is one of the chitosan's derivates. It is water-soluble and has different functional groups. Those properties support its capability as a complexing agent on corrosion and scale inhibitors. Synthesis of N,O-CMCs was carried out by chemical reactions between chitosan and chloroacetic acid under alkaline circumstances. N,O-CMCs product was characterized using FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The inhibition efficiency was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The measurements showed that the highest efficiency of corrosion inhibition reached 63.54% when the concentration and temperature were 30 ppm and 35 °C, respectively. N,O-CMCs was classified as a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption mechanism of the inhibitor followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The static scale inhibition test informed that the optimum inhibition efficiency of N,O-CMCs reached 60.00%.
