scholarly journals Corrosion and Inhibitor on Material: Experimental and Computational Calculations

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution at 313, 323, and 333 K using 4,4-Dimethyl oxazolidine-2-thione (DMOT) and its protonated form (DMOTH+ ) as inhibitors. Our results show that the corrosion rate of mild steel in 1 M HCl increases as the temperature increases while it decreases as the DMOT concentration increases. In contrast to the corrosion rate, the DMOT inhibition efficiency decreases with temperature and increases with increasing DMOT concentration. Both experimental and quantum chemical computational results reveal that the adsorption of DMOT and DMOTH+ on the mild steel surface is a mixed-type process having both physisorption and chemisorption. Moreover, the inhibitor adsorption on the mild steel surface was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the value of Gibbs energy of adsorption at the three studied temperatures is associated with an adsorption mechanism involving both physisorption and chemisorption processes. Heavy corrosion, cavities, and pitting of surfaces were observed in the absence of DMOT inhibitor, while much less corrosion was consistently observed in the presence of DMOT inhibitor

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 5.0 M HCl by 1–phenylaminomethyl-benzimidazo -le (PMB) was studied by gravimetric and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Inhibition efficiency of PMB increased with increase in the concentration of inhibitor and decreased with the increase in temperature. PMB acts as anodic-type inhibitor for mild steel. The adsorption of PMB on mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl. Design/methodology/approach – A pharmaceutical drug acetyl G was investigated for its corrosion inhibition efficiency using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. Results from polarisation studies revealed mixed type of inhibition. Impedance studies, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface. Research limitations/implications – The drug acetyl G has sulphur and nitrogen atoms which effectively block the corrosion of mild steel and is non-toxic and has good inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – This method provides an excellent, non-toxic and cost-effective material as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. Originality/value – Application of this drug as a corrosion inhibitor has not been reported yet in the literature. Replacing the organic inhibitors, this green inhibitor shows excellent inhibition efficiency. This is adsorbed excellently on the mild steel surface due to the presence of long chain and hetero atoms. Thus, the drug retards the corrosion reaction.

The influence of neem leaf extract on corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.1 M HCl solution was studied using the weight loss method. Neem leaf extract which contains the double bond, carbonyl groups, and aromatic rings functional group as shown by the GCMS, phytochemical test, and FTIR analyses is one of the good natural plant extract that can be used as corrosion inhibitor. The weight loss on surface of mild steel at various inhibitor concentrations was determined. The highest inhibition efficiency of 93.24% was achieved using the neem leaf extract as corrosion inhibitor. Adsorption mechanism was investigated using Langmuir, Temkin, and Freundlich isotherms. Inhibitor adherence on the mild steel surface was spontaneous with the negative Gibb’s free energy value obtained. The mixed type adsorption mechanism (physisorption and chemisorption) is proposed for the inhibitor adsorption on mild steel surface. The inhibitor was adsorbed on the mild steel surface through adsorption of the phytochemical components on the surface of mild steel which protects the metal surface from corroding. The corrosion rate decreases from 0.001 to 0.0002MPY with increase in inhibitor concentrations and exposure time.

The inhibition efficiency of the novel synthesized corrosion inhibitor namely, 5,5’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-mercapto-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole) (PBMMT) have been studied for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid environment by using gravimetric techniques. PBMMT show high inhibition efficiency at 0.5 mM. The adsorption isotherm of the investigated inhibitor on the surface of mild steel obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The surface morphology was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the absence and presence of PBMMT as corrosion inhibitor. The results show that the mild steel surface in presence of PBMMT 0.5 mM was smooth and uncorroded in 1 M HCl solution. Quantum chemical calculations were quite fitted with the experimental findings.

The temperature effect of 4-ethyl-1-(4-oxo-4-phenylbutanoyl)thiosemicarbazide (EOPT) on the mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution was studied by gravimetric techniques at temperatures varying from 303 to 333 K. The investigated inhibitor concentrations were started from 100 ppm and ended with 500 ppm. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of the concentration of the inhibitor and reached 96.1% with the concentration of 500 ppm at 303 K and decreased to 66.3% at 333 K. Moreover, the inhibition efficiencies decreased with the temperature increase for both acids. Using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm for the adsorption of this inhibitor on the mild steel surface was determined. EOPT was found to be an efficient corrosion inhibitor due to its structural molecules, which contain sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen, hetero atoms an addition to the aromatic ring.

In this study, the use of green corrosion inhibitors extracted from coffee husks was investigated on mild steel materials in acidic medium. Phenolic compounds from coffee husks were extracted using acetone solvent, characterised and investigated for their corrosion inhibiting properties. The FTIR and 1H-NMR technique were carried out to characterise the present phenolic compounds extracted from purified coffee husks. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of phenolic compounds from coffee husks extract on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was evaluated by using weight loss method. The obtained results showed that corrosion rates decreased with the increase of inhibitor concentration, temperature and immersion time. The  optimum inhibition efficiency of 86.5% at 25 ºC was obtained with a concentration of 400 mg/L (400 ppm) of coffee husks extract in two hours of experiment. The observed inhibition efficiency was attributed to the physical adsorption mechanism of phenolic compounds on mild steel surface through charged ion formation from protonation of lone pairs of oxygen in phenol or ionic dissociation of carboxylic acid functional group that formed a charged layer over mild steel surface. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the adsorption process obeyed the Langmuir adsorption  isotherm model at all investigated temperatures between 25 and 40 ºC.

The ability of gum exudates of Azadirachta indica (GAI) to inhibit corrosion on mild steel in 1 mol L−1 HCl has been studied using mass loss, polarization, and impedence measurements. The effect of temperature (303–323 K) and immersion time of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours on corrosion behavior of mild steel was examined. Gum exudates decrease the corrosion rate up to a concentration of 80 ppm and at 323 K temperature. GAI adsorb chemically onto the surface of the mild steel while it obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherms. Polarization studies show GAI as mixed mode inhibitor. Surface studies ascertain that a shielding layer was formed on the mild steel surface.

Inhibitive and adsorption properties of synthesized triazolo- pryimidine derivatives (P1, P2 & P3 ) for the corrosion of mild steel was investigated using weight loss and electrochemical methods. Inhibition efficiency increased as the concentration of the inhibitor increased but decreased with increase in temperature. The triazolopyrimidines were found to act as adsorption inhibitors for the corrosion of mild steel. The adsorption mechanism of the triazolopyrimidine was found to be physisorption, spontaneous and exothermic. Also the adsorption followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. polarisation studies showed that the inhibitors behave as cathodic type.

The corrosion inhibition and adsorption characteristics of (+/-)-9-fluoro-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazine-6-carboxylic acid (Tarivid) on the corrosion of mild steel has been studied using thermometric and gasometric methods. The study reveals that tarivid inhibits the corrosion of mild steel in H2SO4. The values of inhibition efficiency of tarivid were found to increase as its concentration increased but decreased with increase in temperature. Activation energies of the inhibited corrosion of mild steel ranged from 39.05 to 50.61 kJ/mol. Values of enthalpy change and free energy of adsorption were negative which indicated exothermic and spontaneous adsorption process. Physical adsorption mechanism is proposed from the obtained kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. Langmuir adsorption isotherm model is obeyed from the fit of the experimental data.

Telfairia occidentalis rind extract has been studied as a potential green inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 using weight loss and hydrogen evolution methods. The results of the investigation reveal that Telfairia occidentalis rind extract is a good inhibitor of mild steel corrosion in sulphuric acid solution. The inhibition efficiency increases with increase in rind extract concentration but decreases with increase in temperature. The calculated thermodynamic parameters reveal that the corrosion inhibition process was endothermic and spontaneous. Physical adsorption has been proposed for the adsorption of Telfairia occidentalis rind extract onto mild steel surface. The adsorption of the extract on mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
