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 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.

AbstractA novel pyridine derivative was synthesized, and its corrosion inhibition effects on mild steel in a 1M hydrochloric acid environment were investigated by gravimetric techniques, The results demonstrated that the inhibitive performance increased with the increasing of inhibitor concentration. At 303, the inhibition efficiency of pyridine derivative 4-hydroxy-3-(pyridin-2-ylaminomethyl)toluene accomplished 96.2% at the inhibitor concentration of 0.005 M. The mechanism of inhibition implicated the forming of a protective layer from inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel by a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The presence of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the structure of 4-hydroxy-3-(pyridin-2-ylaminomethyl)toluene confirmed by CHN-analysis revealed the adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel surface.

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 corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4acid solution and the inhibition process by wheat starch (WS) was investigated using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization measurement techniques respectively. Gravimetric results revealed that there is significant reduction in the corrosion rate of mild steel in the presence of inhibited solution compared to blank solution, and also the inhibition efficiency was found to depend on the concentration of the WS. Data on potentiodynamic polarization results confirmed that WS exhibited mixed type inhibition behaviour, though the cathodic effect was more pronounced. The mode of WS adsorption on the corroding metal surface followed Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature, activation energy and heat of adsorption parameters revealed a strong interaction between the WS constituents and the corroding metal surface, thus indicating that WS lowered the corrosion process by blanketing the mild steel surface through chemical adsorption mechanism. The mechanism of inhibition was discussed in the light of the chemical structure of starch.

The utilization of self-healing cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2), modified with organic corrosion inhibitors (dodecylamine (DDA) and n-methylthiourea (NMTU)), in epoxy coating is an efficient strategy for enhancing the protection of the epoxy coating and increasing its lifetime. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis was used to confirm the loading and presence of inhibitors in the nanoparticles. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement studies revealed the amount of 25% and 29.75% w/w for NMTU and DDA in the nanoparticles, respectively. The pH sensitive and self-release behavior of modified CeO2 nanoparticles is confirmed through UV-vis spectroscopy and Zeta potential. It was observed, through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), that a protective layer had been formed on the defect site separating the steel surface from the external environment and healed the artificially created scratch. This protective film played a vital role in the corrosion inhibition of steel by preventing the aggressiveness of Cl− in the solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements exhibited the exceptional corrosion inhibition efficiency, reaching 99.8% and 95.7% for the modified coating with DDA and NMTU, respectively, after five days of immersion time.

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 corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution by N'-(2-(2-oxomethylpyrrol-1-yl)ethyl)piperidine (N-OPEP) was studied employing weight loss techniques. The experimental findings revealed that N-OPEP is the most excellent corrosion inhibitor, and the inhibitory performance increases with an increase in the inhibitor concentration. Furthermore, the inhibition efficiency decreases with an increase in the solution Temperature. The adsorption of inhibitor molecules on a mild steel surface followed Langmuir’s isotherm model and was found to be spontaneous. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs approved the formation of a protective layer of the inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel.

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 paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to study the effect of surface applied organic and inorganic corrosion inhibitors on reinforced steel in concrete. The reinforcement bars were coated with Neem powder (organic inhibitor) and Zinc powder (inorganic inhibitor) as corrosion inhibitors. The samples of beams of size 100X100X640mm having 4 steel bars as reinforcement were prepared and cured in normal water for 15 days and in saline environment for 42 days. The inhibitors were applied in the form of 2 coats, 4 coats and blend of both. The grade of concrete used was M30. Half-cell Potential and Weight loss measurements were carried out to determine the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors [11]. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of controlled specimen and coated specimens were compared. From the results it was seen that samples with 4 coats of Neem showed 44% inhibition efficiency as compared to control specimens. Similarly specimens with two coats of Neem, four coats of Neem and Zinc also showed better corrosion inhibition efficiency. Highest weight loss was observed in case of control specimen. The study concludes that use of surface applied corrosion inhibitors prove efficient in enhancing the corrosion inhibition efficiency of concrete. Surface applied corrosion inhibitors provide protective layer to the reinforcement thereby protecting it from corrosion and increasing the durability of the structure. This type of technique of using corrosion inhibitors in concrete can be used in various structures such as buildings, bridges, sewage pipes, marine structures, abutments & piers, RCC roads which are subjected to harsh environmental conditions.
