Many research studies have been conducted on the corrosion inhibition performance of imidazole in acidic environments such as in the piping of a petrochemical plant. However, there has been no study on the effect of imidazole in alkaline conditions such as a local district water heating environment. Therefore, in this study, the effect of imidazole as a corrosion inhibitor on carbon steel weldment was investigated in alkaline district heating water. Inhibition efficiency and electrochemical properties were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. As the concentration of imidazole increased up to 500 ppm, inhibition efficiency increased up to 91.7%. At 1000 ppm, inhibition efficiency decreased. Atomic force microscopy showed that surface coverage of imidazole at 1000 ppm is lower than that of imidazole at 500 ppm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that with 500 ppm of imidazole, the amount of pyrrole type interaction is 4.8 times larger than pyridine type interaction. At 1000 ppm of imidazole, the amount of pyridine type interaction is 3.49 times larger than pyrrole type interaction. Depending on the concentration of imidazole, the ratio of interaction between carbon steel and imidazole affected inhibition efficiency.

In this research, 3-Mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel in CO2 aerated 1% NaCl solution with buffer pH adjustment has been studied by means of electrochemical impedance (EIS) and polarization (Tafel plot). MPA was found to be an effective carbon steel inhibitor. Percentage inhibition efficiency (IE %) calculated by both Tafel plot and EIS, ranged from 85% to 90%. MPA was found to affect the cathodic processes and act as cathodic-type inhibitors. Mechanism of inhibit corrosion by adsorption mechanism leads to the formation of a protective chemisorbed film on the metal surface film which suppresses the dissolution reaction and the hydrogen evolution reaction is activation controlled.

N,N-Diethylammonium O,O′-di(p-methoxyphenyl)dithiophosphate (EAPP) as a new corrosion inhibitor was synthesized in the present work. The corrosion inhibition of EAPP in hydrochloric acid for carbon steel was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, weight loss measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the EAPP is mixed type inhibitor, and the adsorption of EAPP on carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm. In addition, the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the concentration of inhibitor and decreases with increasing the hydrochloric acid concentration, temperature, and storage time.

This study aimed to examine the extract of barks of Tamarix aphylla as a corrosion inhibitor. The methodology briefly includes plant sample collection, extraction of the corrosion inhibitor, gravimetric analysis, plotting potentiodynamic polarization plots, electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements, optimization of conditions, and preparation of the inhibitor products. The results show that the values of inhibition efficiency (IE%) increased as the concentrations of the inhibitor increased, with a maximum achievable inhibition efficiency of 85.0%. Potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests revealed that the extract acts as a dual-type inhibitor. The results obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements indicate an increase in polarisation resistance, confirming the inhibitive capacity of the tested inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the steel surface follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and involves competitive physio-sorption and chemisorption mechanisms. The EIS technique was utilized to investigate the effect of temperature on corrosion inhibition within the 298–328 K temperature range. Results confirm that the inhibition efficiency (IE%) of the inhibitor decreased slightly as the temperature increased. Lastly, the thermodynamic parameters for the inhibitor were calculated.

Little attention has been paid to the nano-TiO2as corrosion inhibitor before. In this paper, Myristic acid-modified nano-TiO2(MA-TiO2) were synthesized by Myristic acid and tetrabutyl titanate via the sol-gel method, and it was characterized by IR and TEM. MA-TiO2was dispersed in oil, and used as a corrosion inhibitor. From the Tafel plots and EIS spectra, we can know that the values of the current densities decreased by the addition of MA-TiO2. Because of the MA-TiO2formed a deposition layer in the surface of 45#carbon steel panels, the current density of the the base oil with MA-TiO2is much smaller than the base oil. The inhibition efficiency was over 90% with added 5 wt % TiO2.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine if a type of cactus mucilage, Opuntia ficus-indica (OFI), may act as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in cement-based materials (mortar) exposed to chloride-laden environment. Design/methodology/approach – Mortar prisms, reinforced with carbon steel rods, were immersed in sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for five wet – dry cycles. The experimentation included electrochemical monitoring (corrosion potential, Ecorr, and polarization resistance, Rp) of carbon steel during the time of exposure until corrosion-induced cracking appeared at the mortar surface. Crack survey on the mortar prisms was performed. Carbon steel rods were retrieved from the mortar after crack survey and steel mass loss at the end of the experimental period was estimated. A comparison between the different mixtures was also performed. Findings – OFI mucilage did perform as a corrosion inhibitor of steel in chloride contaminated mortar. Research limitations/implications – The experimental program needs to be corroborated in concrete specimens with typical dimensions. The surface oxide/hydroxide formation of the carbon steel in contact with the OFI mucilage is still unknown; thus, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are needed. Practical implications – OFI mucilage is a suitable natural product that can be used to increase durability of concrete structures not only in countries where OFI cactus is produced, but also in many other countries where this plant is considered a plague. Originality/value – The new information obtained from this paper is the innovative use of a by-product of this cactus plant for construction industry applications.

The present study was initiated with an objective of investigating a plant extract as an effective corrosion inhibitor useful for protection of carbon steel in aqueous environment containing chloride ions. For this purpose, the leaf extract of the plant ‘Aerva lanata’ belonging to Amaranthaceae family of genus Aerva was chosen. The required optimum concentration of the extract for an effective inhibition was found to be 5 %, resulting in the inhibition efficiency of 95 % against corrosion of carbon steel in 200 ppm of NaCl solution. The extract introduced as a corrosion inhibitor was found to be effective in the pH range from 4.0 to 9.0. The extract could retain its inhibition efficiency for about an immersion period of 60 days and also up to a temperature of 333 K. The 5 % extract was found to control corrosion of carbon steel in highly aggressive medium containing 300 ppm of NaCl also. In order to maintain the protective nature, the required concentration of the extract was 2 %. From these studies, it was inferred that the Aerva lanata leaf extract exhibits good inhibitive properties for carbon steel in aqueous environment in wide ranges of pH, temperature and aggressiveness of medium.

The extract of Fucus spiralis (FS) was tested as a corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel in a 1M HCl medium. The anti-corrosion properties were analyzed by gravimetric and electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The surface characterization of carbon steel submerged in the optimal solution was carried out using UV-Visible, UV-Vis-NIR, and Optical microscopy analyses. Electrochemical and gravimetric results demonstrated that inhibitory efficiencies increase with increasing inhibitor concentration and the efficiency reaches 87% at a concentration of 0.5 g/L. According to Tafel extrapolated polarisation measurements, the FS also worked as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor and changed the mechanism of anodic reactions. EIS analysis showed that a depressed capacitive loop dominates the Nyquist plot of impedance and enhances the polarization resistance (Rp) to 161.9 Ω cm2 with a reduction of the double layer capacity (Cdl) of carbon steel to 61.8 μF/cm2. This protection is assured by an adsorption mechanism based on the isothermal Langmuir adsorption model, which positively affects the thermodynamic parameters. UV-Visible, UV-Vis-NIR analyses exhibited that inhibitor decreases the iron oxides like hematite, Magnetite, and Goethite, Maghemite, Lepidocrocite, δ-FeOOH of the metal surface and delays the dissolution of the bare metal of iron to the ferrous ions, notably that optical morphology showed that FS extract decreases the aggressivity of HCl.

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.

AbstractPhenylcoumarin glucoside (4-PC) is a compound extracted from the plant Hintona latiflora and was studied as inhibitor for AISI 1018 steel corrosion in 3% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, which may find application as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. The 4-PC provides inhibitor properties that protect AISI 1018 low carbon steel against corrosion at low concentrations (5 ppm) obtained by EIS. Polarization studies showed that the inhibitor was of mixed type. The inhibition efficiency by the two electrochemical techniques shows similar results. The inhibitor adsorption was demonstrated to be a combined process (physisorption and chemisorption) according to the Langmuir isotherm.
