<div><p><em>The inhibition efficiency of DMBP (Diethyl-4-methyl benzyl phosphonate) along with Biocidal action of CTAB and SDS on corrosion of mild steel in neutral aqueous medium has been evaluated by mass loss method, both in absence and presence of Zn<sup>2+</sup>. It is observed that DMBP exhibits 65% IE individually at ambient temperature. Synergistic influence of Zn<sup>2+</sup> increases IE of DMBP to 71%.  Addition of surfactants CTAB (N-Cetyl-N,N,N-Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide) and SDS ( Sodium dodecyl Benzene sulphonate) enhances the inhibition efficiency of DMBP from 65% to 96% and 92% respectively.  The inhibitor system consisting of DMBP (200 ppm) + Zn<sup>2+</sup> (90 ppm)+ CTAB (50 ppm) / SDS (40 ppm) offered maximum Biocidal efficiency (BE %) of 100% after killing of microbial bacteria present in aqueous system.

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 inhibition efficiencies of 2‐carboxyethyl phosphonic acid (2 CEPA) – Zn2+ system and ethyl phosphonic acid (EPA) – Zn2+ system in controlling corrosion of mild steel in a neutral aqueous environment containing 60ppm CI– have been compared. Polarization study reveals that both the systems function as mixed inhibitors. The inhibition efficiencies of these systems decrease with period of immersion due to the dissolution of the protective film as the period of immersion increases. The 2 CEPA – Zn2+ system has a better inhibition efficiency than the EPA–Zn2+ system. This is due to the fact that the amount of Fe2+– 2 CEPA complex present on the metal surface is higher than that of Fe2+– EPA complex, as revealed by fluorescence spectra. The molecular size of the iron phosphonate complex exercises a greater influence than the electronic (inductive) effect of the substituent in controlling corrosion of mild steel in chloride environment.

Inhibition efficiency of an aqueous extract of soapnut (Sapindus Trifoliatus) and Zn2+in controlling corrosion of mild steel in well water at room temperature has been evaluated by using weight loss method, polarization study and AC impedance spectra. Dynamic light scattering and Vickers hardness have also been employed. Weight loss method reveals that the formulation consisting of 10 ml soapnut extract and 50 ppm Zn2+ has 97 % inhibition efficiency in controlling corrosion of mild steel immersed in well water. Synergism parameters suggest that a synergistic effect exists between soapnut extract and Zn2+. Adsorption isotherm of metal surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization study reveals that the inhibitor system functions as anodic type of inhibitor. AC impedance spectra confirm the protective film formed on the metal surface. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) study reveals surface is in nano meter scale. The Vickers hardness of metal surface was increases in inhibitor system.

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.

In the present study, the corrosion inhibition effect of Spilanthes acmella aqueous leaves extract (SA-LE) on mild steel was investigated in 1.0 M HCl solution at different temperature using weight loss, Tafel polarization, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance (EIS) measurements. Adsorption of inhibitor on the surface of the mild steel obeyed both Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms. The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were also calculated to determine the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with an increase in the inhibitor concentration i.e., Spilanthes acmella aqueous leaves extract, however, the inhibition efficiency decreased with an increase in the temperature. The phytochemical constituents with functional groups including electronegative hetero atoms such as N, O, and S in the extract adsorbed on the metal surface are found responsible for the effective performance of the inhibitor, which was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopic (UV-Vis) studies. Protective film formation against corrosion was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle studies. The result shows that the leaves extract acts as corrosion inhibitor and is able to promote surface protection by blocking active sites on the metal.

The goal of studying corrosion process is to find means of minimizing corrosion or prevent it from occurring. The use of inhibitors is one of the most popular methods for corrosion protection. A protective film has been formed on the surface of the mild steel in a neutral aqueous environment using a synergistic mixture of an eco-friendly inhibitor viz., Potassium Sodium Tartrate (SPT) along with polyacrylic acid (PAA) and Zn2+ ions. The inhibiting effect of SPT, PAA and Zn2+ ions have been investigated by gravimetric studies, Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The investigations revealed that SPT acts as an excellent synergist in corrosion inhibition. Optimum concentrations of all the three components of the ternary formulation are established by gravimetric studies. Potentiodynamic polarization studies inferred that this mixture functions as a cathodic inhibitor. EIS studies of the metal/solution interface indicated that the surface film is highly protective against the corrosion of mild steel. Surface characterization techniques (FTIR, SEM, AFM) are also used to ascertain the nature of the protective film. The mechanical aspect of corrosion inhibition is proposed.

The inhibition effect of Cassia alata leaves extract on corrosion of mild steel in 1N HCl was investigated through mass loss measurements with various time and temperature. The observed result indicated that the corrosion inhibition efficiency and degree of surface coverage were increased with increase of inhibitor concentration and temperature. The thermodynamic parameters (Ea, ∆Hads, ∆Gads, ∆Sads) were evaluated for corrosion inhibition process which suggests that the adsorption is endothermic, spontaneous and chemisorptions and also the inhibitor follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The protective film formed on metal surface was analyzed using spectroscopic studies viz, UV, FT-IR and EDX techniques.
