Some commercial non-ionic surfactants polysorbate, namely, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 40 and polysorbate 20, were tested as inhibitors for corrosion of C-steel in 2.0M HCl solution using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. It was found that all the three used compounds act as inhibitors for acid corrosion of C-steel. The inhibition efficiencies obtained by the three techniques were almost the same, and increase with increasing the hydrocarbon chain length and the surfactant concentration. The polarization studies show that these compounds act as mixed inhibitors. The inhibition action of these surfactants can be explained by their ability to adsorb on the metal surface making a barrier to mass and charge transfer.  It was found that the adsorption of these surfactants follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The negative values of  adsorption free energy indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous and increases, for different surfactants, in the same direction as inhibition efficiency.

Two N-substituted thiosemicarbazone derivatives namely as 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide and 2-benzylidene-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L1 and L2, respectively) have been tested as corrosion inhibitors on mild steel in 1 M HCl. The ligands were synthesized and investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).  The obtained results indicated that inhibition efficiency, (IE, %) L1 increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations which behaved as a good corrosion inhibitor compared to L2. The synthesized ligands were successfully characterized by melting point, elemental analysis (C, H, N, and S), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The excellent inhibition effectiveness for both compounds on mild steel before and after immersion in 1 M HCl solution containing 40 ppm of L1 and L2 were also verified by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on potentiodynamic polarization results, it can be concluded that all investigated compounds are mixed-type inhibitors and obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is investigate the inhibition efficiency of three similar bi-cyclic organic compounds, namely, benzimidazole (BI), benzotriazole (BTAH) and benzothiazole (BTH) on carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Organic inhibitors are widely used to protect metals in acidic media. Among abundant suggestions for acid corrosion inhibitors, azole compounds have gained attention. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency of the three organic compounds was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Findings – Superiorities of BTH and BTAH corrosion inhibitors were shown by EIS data and polarization curves. Moreover, the results revealed that BTAH and BTH can function as effective mixed-type adsorptive inhibitors, whereas no inhibition behavior was observed for BI. Both BTAH and BTH obeyed Longmuir adsorption isotherm. The results obtained from this isotherm showed that both inhibitors adsorbed on the specimen surface physically and chemically. The difference in inhibition efficiencies of BTAH, BTH and BI was related to the presence of nitrogen and sulfur hetero atoms on their molecular structures. Originality/value – This study evaluated inhibition efficiency of BI, BTAH and BTH using electrochemical methods. In addition, the study attempted to find inhibition mechanism of the inhibitors and to find modes of adsorption of the inhibitors, correlating effects of heteroatoms and inhibition efficiency.

The selected dihydroxamic acid derivatives, namely oxalyl-dihydroxamic acid (C2) and pimeloyl-1,5-di-hydroxamic acid (C7) have been synthesized and evaluated as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in neutral aqueous solution by potentiodynamic polarization and ac impedance methods. C2 molecule acts as good inhibitor with inhibition efficiency value reached 91%; it is well adsorbed most likely throughout the two hydrophilic groups, and forms a protective film on the metal surface. C7 has moderate inhibition efficiency probably due to the presence of long single hydrocarbon chain in the molecule, negatively affect the adsorption process. Addition of Ni2+ to C7 significantly improve the inhibition efficiency, throughout the formation of a dense compact layer of complexes between Ni2+ and C7.

The corrosion inhibition efficiency of alcoholic extract of fruits of plant <em>Tribulus terrestris</em> for mild steel in 0.5N H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solution has been studied in relation to concentration of inhibitor by Mass Loss, Potentiodynamic Polarisation and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy methods. The results indicate that <em>Tribulus terrestris</em> fruit extract used in liquid H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> effectively reduces the corrosion rate of mild steel and act as a good corrosion inhibitor. It is also observed that inhibition efficiency increases with inhibitor concentration but it decreases with increase in temperature. The thermodynamic parameters reveal that the inhibition of corrosion is due to adsorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface. The negative free energy values show spontaneity of the adsorption process in accordance with Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

The development of green and sustainable corrosion inhibitors for copper in a corrosive marine environment is highly desired. Herein, we studied the fatty acid-based amidine as the new type of renewable corrosion inhibitor. Stearamidine salt was used as a model inhibitor, and it was synthesized through stearonitrile intermediate with an excellent isolated yield of 88%. We used electrochemical (potentiodynamic polarization) and morphological (scanning electron microscopy) measurements to assess the corrosion inhibition efficiency of stearamidine in 3.0 wt.% NaCl at 300 K. We show that, in such a condition, the optimum inhibition efficiency of 96% was achieved using only 0.2 mM stearamidine. The results suggested the fatty amidine is a promising corrosion inhibitor for copper that is suitable in the saltwater ecosystem. The thermodynamic parameters of the interaction between the stearamidine and the copper surface were determined, and the result suggests that the adsorption process occurred accordingly with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and involved both physisorption and chemisorption.

We have analyzed the stability of betalains in juices prepared from Moroccan yellow cactus pears ( Opuntia ficus indica (L.) Mill.) as a function of temperature and pH. The experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 80 to 100°C with juices at pH 3.5, 5 and 6.5. The degree of pigment retention decreased when the temperature increased. The degradation constant rates were determined for thermal degradation rates of pseudo-first order. The Arrhenius plot obtained for the degradation of betaxanthin from the yellow fruits was not linear. Regardless of the temperature of treatment, the lowest degradation was obtained for pH 5. When some stabilizers were tested for the protection of pigments, the results showed that ascorbic acid was a better protective agent at pH 3.5, increasing the protection by 40%. The inhibitive action of betalain pigments extracted from cactus pears towards corrosion of stainless steel in phosphoric acid was investigated using electrochemical polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. It was found that the presence of natural pigments reduces the corrosion rate of the tested metal, especially on addition of the red pigments (97%). The inhibition efficiency increases as the pigment concentration of extracts increases. It was also found that the pigments tested act as mixed inhibitors. The inhibitive action of the extracts is discussed in term of adsorption and that such adsorption follows a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The calculated values of the free energy of adsorption indicated that the adsorption process is spontaneous.

The oxidative chemical polymerizations of three isomers of aminophenol,ortho,meta, andpara(PoAP, PmAP, and PpAP), were performed in aqueous HCl using ammonium persulfate as an oxidant at 0–3°C. The synthesized polymers were characterized by employing elemental analysis, GPC, UV-VIS-NIR, FT-IR, XRD, and TGA. The corrosion inhibition effect of these three polymers on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was studied by using electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. These measurements reveal that the inhibition efficiency obtained by these polymers increased by increasing their concentration. The inhibition efficiency follows the order PpAP > PoAP > PmAP. The results further revealed that PpAP at a concentration of 250 mg/L furnishes maximum inhibition efficiency (96.5%). Polarization studies indicated that these three polymers act as the mixed type corrosion inhibitors.
