Effects of Nepal origin plant species of Vitex negundo, Catharanthus roseu, Aegle marmelos and Elaeocarpus ganitrus extracts on mild steel corrosion were explored in bioethanol (E100) and its blend (E15) in airtight condition at 25±2 °C using static immersion, inhibition efficiency and mechanism tests which were complemented with adsorption isotherms and potentiodynamic polarization studies. Corrosion resistance of the mild steel was increased with increasing 500-2000 ppm concentrations of each plant extract in E100 and E15 biofuels. Additions of V. negundo and C. roseus extract separately in both the biofuels seems to be more effective inhibition actions to prevent the mild steel corrosion than A. marmelos or E. ganitrus addition so as the corrosion rates of the mild steel in E100 and E15 are successfully lowered even than in commercial gasoline (E0). The results obtained from the corrosion rate revealed the order of the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) as V. negundo > C. roseus > A. marmelos > E. ganitrus. The maximum IE (IEmax) in V. negundo and C. roseus leaves was showed about 89-86% and 71-75%, respectively, at 2000 ppm concentration, in spite of the other two more plants leaf extract also used as the corrosion inhibitors for the mild steel in both E100 and E15 biofuels. The IE increased on increasing inhibitor concentration following the Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms but decreased with immersion time which suggested that the corrosion inhibition mechanism is of physical type of adsorption of the leaves constituents on the mild steel surface. A. marmelos extract acted as an anodic type of inhibitor in E100 and E15, while E. ganitrus acted as mixed

The corrosion inhibition behaviour of four selected Mannich bases compounds,namely 3-((N-methyl,N-phenyl)-methyl)2,4-Acetylacetone(MPMAA),3-((N-phenyl)-methyl) 2,4-Acetylacetone (PMAA),3-((N, N-diethyl)-methyl) 2, 4-Acetylacetone(DMAA) and 3-((N, N-methyl)-methyl) 2, 4-Acetylacetone (MMAA) as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1M HCl solutions. Tafel polarization methods were performed to determine the corrosion parameters and inhibition efficiencies. Experimental results showed that PMAA is an excellent inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1M HCl solutions; showing a maximum efficiency 92.3% at concentration of 40mg/L. Polarization studies showed that the Mannich bases compounds can be regarded as mixed-type inhibitors and the inhibition efficiency of the four inhibitors followed the order PMAA > MPMAA > DMAA > MMAA. Then scanning electron microscope (SEM)techniques were also employed to examine the mechanism of corrosion inhibition property.

Abstract The ligands 1,10-phenanthroline, (P) and para-aminobenzoate, (B); as well as their corresponding MnPB complex [bis-(dimanganese di-μ-paraaminobenzoate dichloro diphenanthroline)] have been investigated as inhibitors of mild steel corrosion in H2SO4 (0.5 M) solutions via potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Stability of the prepared complex was examined by UV-visible spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition, thermodynamics, and adsorptive properties obtained have shown that MnPB complex has remarkable effects in the acidic solutions. Theoretical fitting of different adsorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Flory–Huggins, and the kinetic-thermodynamic models were tested and the thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated. The data revealed that the corrosion inhibition mechanism of mild steel in acidic solutions by the MnPB complex goes via physicochemical adsorption.

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by 7-(ethylthiobenzimidazolyl) theophylline (7-ETBT) in 1 M HCl medium was investigated through weight loss and Tafel polarization techniques within a temperature range of 298 to 318 K. The inhibition efficiency depends on the concen­tration of 7-ETBT and reaction system temperature. The maximum inhibition efficiency values of 90.73 and 87.06 %, respectively, were estimated using both weight loss and Tafel polarization techniques at 298 K. The results suggest spontaneous and predominant physical adsorption of 7-ETBT on the metal surface which obeys Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, Tafel polarization method revealed that 7-ETBT is a mixed-type inhibitor. Po­tentiodynamic polarization results are in accordance with weight loss data to a good extent.

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of an aqueous extract ofTridax procumbensL. in controlling corrosion of mild steel has been investigated by weight loss method in the absence and presence of corrosion inhibitor at different time interval at room temperature. The result showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of these compounds was found to vary with different time interval and different acid concentration. Also, it was found that the corrosion inhibition behavior ofTridax procumbensL. is greater in sulphuric acid than hydrochloric acid medium. SoTridax procumbensL. can be used as a good inhibitor for preventing mild steel material.

The inhibiting behavior of 1-ethyl-3-butylbenzotriazolium ionic liquids,[C2Bt][Br] ,on mild steel corrosion in 5 wt.% HCl as corroding solution was investigated using weight loss,potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance measurements. The obtained results indicated that [C2Bt][Br] is a good inhibitor for the mild steel in 5 wt.% HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increased with an increase of inhibitive concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization data indicated that the [C2Bt][Br] acted essentially as a mixed-type inhibitor. The electrochemical impedance study showed that corrosion inhibition took place by adsorption.

Inhibition effect of Costusafer on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl was studied using gravimetric method at room temperature. It was found out that Costusafer inhibited the corrosion of mild steel in the acidic environment and that the efficiency of inhibition increased as the concentration of the inhibitor in the environment increased. The data was used to test different isotherms and it suited the Langmuir isotherm. A value of -15.995 kJmol-1 was gotten for the ∆Goads. This value showed that the extracts of Costusafer inhibited the corrosion process through physiosorption mechanism. The high value of inhibition efficiency of the extract as the concentration increased in rationalized in terms of the increase in herteroatoms, saponnins and tannins which are present in the extract.
