The effect of extract of Acacia Nolitica pod on the corrosion inhibition of LM 6 aluminium alloy in 1M NaOH was studied using weight loss, gasometric, and open circuit potential techniques. Corrosion rates were found to reduce in the presence of the inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in the concentration of the inhibitor and decreased with increase in the temperature. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface is a spontaneous process and that the adsorption was via a physisorption mechanism. The adsorption process fitted perfectly with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm indicating that the extract was strongly adsorbed on the aluminium alloy surface. Morphology of the surface was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the absence and presence of 0.5%v/v of the used inhibitor which confirmed the existence of a protective film of inhibitor molecule on the metal surface.

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.

This study describes the adsorption behavior of organic inhibitors at the aluminum-HCl solution interface and their corrosion inhibition performance. The organic inhibitors employed are: 4-(benzo [d]thiazol-2ylthio)phthalonitrile (BTThio) and tetrakis[(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl-thio)phthalo- cyaninato]gallium(III) chloride (ClGaBTThioPc). The corrosion behavior of these inhibitors is investigated using electrochemical and computational techniques. Open circuit potential results reveal predominant cathodic character for the mechanism of aluminum corrosion inhibition by the inhibitors. Inhibition efficiency values from potentiodynamic polarization measurements increase from 46.9 to 70.8% for BTThio and 59.7 to 81.0% for ClGaBTThioPc within the concentration range of 2 to 10 μM. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements reveal protection of the metal surface from acid attack, in the presence of the inhibitors and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) measurements show that the most probable way by which the inhibitors protect the metal surface would be by shielding it from the corrosion attacks of Cl− from the acid. Quantum chemical parameters corroborate well with experimental findings.

Cassava fluid is acidic and corrodes the ductile cast iron parts from which many machineries used in processing cassava, a staple source of carbohydrates in most West African countries are made. The corrosion behavior of ductile cast iron cassava fluid with Moringa Oleifera seed oil as inhibitor was studied using 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 %v/v concentrations and at two different temperatures of 40oC and 60oC by potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel) technique. Some thermodynamic, Corrosion inhibition and adsorption studies were also addressed. Moringa Oleifera seed oil extract was found to successfully inhibit the corrosion of cast iron in cassava fluid. Moringa Oleifera acted as a mixed type inhibitor. The corrosion inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increase in concentration of the extract but decrease with rise in temperature. The maximum inhibition efficiency of the extract on ductile cast iron corrosion was noted to be about 73%. Adsorption studies showed that Langmuir isotherm describes the manner in which the inhibitor was adsorbed on the metal surface. The adsorption process was found to be spontaneous as all the free energy of adsorption values calculated were negative and ranged from -3.43 kJ/mol to -1.34 kJ/mol, signifying a spontaneous physical adsorption on metal surface. The stereo-micrograph images of the metal surface after immersion in corrosive medium confirmed the protection offered by the Moringa Oleifera extract on the surface of the metal. It was further shown that the corrosion rate was influenced by the combined interactions of temperature of operation and concentration of the inhibitor.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion inhibition performance of an eco-friendly drug clozapine on the corrosion of copper in 1.0 M nitric acid and 0.5 M sulfuric acid solutions. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion inhibition nature of inhibitor molecule was evaluated by weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization studies. An attempt was made to correlate the molecular properties of neutral and protonated forms of inhibitor molecule using quantum chemical calculations. The effect of temperature on the corrosion inhibition efficiency was also studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The potential of zero charge was determined to explain the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Findings The studies on corrosion inhibition performance of clozapine showed that it has good corrosion inhibition efficiency on the corrosion of copper in 1.0 M nitric acid and 0.5 M sulfuric acid solutions. The adsorption of clozapine molecules onto the copper surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The value of free energy of adsorption calculated is very close to −40 kJmol−1, indicating that the adsorption is through electrostatic coulombic attraction and chemisorption. The decrease in the value of energy of activation with the addition of inhibitor also shows the chemisorption of the inhibitor on the metal surface. The potential of zero charge and quantum chemical studies confirmed that the protonated molecules also get involved in the corrosion inhibition process through physisorption. Originality/value The present work indicates that clozapine can act as a good corrosion inhibitor for the corrosion of copper in acid media.

Corrosion inhibitive and adsorption capabilities of Tribulus terrestris plant extract on aluminum in 1.0 N HCl solution was evaluated by mass loss and electrochemical methods. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing extract concentration, whereas it decreased with increasing immersion time. The adsorption of the extract on the metal surface was physisorption, supported by ΔGads values( around -20 kJ mol−1) and obeyed by Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Electrochemical studies revealed mechanistic aspects of corrosion inhibition like Potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated the nature of inhibitor is a mixed type and impedance studies supported the formation of a protective layer of inhibitor on a metal surface. SEM micrograms were also applied to study surface morphology. These images confirmed the creation of a protective film over the metal surface.

The inhibition performance and adsorption behaviour of 4-hydroxy-N′-[(E)-(1H-indole-2-ylmethylidene)] benzohydrazide (HIBH) on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution were tested by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The inhibition efficiency of HIBH increases with increase in inhibitor concentration in the temperature range 30–60°C. Polarisation curves indicate that HIBH is a mixed inhibitor, affecting both cathodic and anodic corrosion currents. The adsorption process of HIBH at the mild steel/hydrochloric acid solution interface obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and inhibition takes place by mixed adsorption, predominantly chemisorption. The activation and thermodynamic parameters for the corrosion inhibition process were calculated to elaborate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition.

The corrosion inhibition effect and mechanism of the amino acid ionic liquids—1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium Lysine ([BMIm][Lys]) for carbon steel in 5% H2SO4solution are investigated by electrochemical tests. The results indicate that the [BMIm][Lys] has a good inhibition performance for the carbon steel in 5% H2SO4solution. The corrosion inhibition efficiency improves with the increase of the concentration, which arrives at 95% ultimately. The study also shows that the inhibitors are mixed-type ones. The adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

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.
