The efficiency of benzalkonium chloride (BKC) to inhibit the corrosion of carbon steel API 5L in 1 M HCl has been studied by potentiodynamic polarization method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Potentiodynamic polarization indicated that BKC is able to retard the corrosion reaction of carbon steel and its corrosion rate decreased with the increasing of BKC concentration up to optimum concentration 7.5 mM. Adsorption and thermodynamic studies indicated that BKC molecules were capable of adsorbing onto carbon steel surface by following Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and their Gibbs free energy obtained at 25, 40, 55 and 70°C were -29.15, -31.67, -37.46 and -35.76 kJ/mol, respectively. Thermodynamically point of view shown that adsorption mechanism of BKC onto carbon steel occurred via both physisorption and chemisorption process. While, adsorption mechanism establish by XPS analysis indicated that BKC was dominantly inhibit the carbon steel via physisorption process. As a conclusion, both potentiodynamic polarization method and XPS suggested that BKC is able to adsorb onto carbon steel and protect the surface from actively react with HCl.

This article investigates the modification of a carbon steel surface by benzotriazole (BTA), and the structure and properties of the formed layers. Adsorption was studied by surface analytical methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflecting infrared microscopy (FTIR). It has been established that a polymer-like film containing iron-azole complexes that are 2 nm thick and strongly bonded to the metal is formed on the surface as a result of the azole interacting with a steel surface. This film is capable to inhibit uniform and localized corrosion of steel in neutral aqueous electrolytes containing chloride ions. It is shown that the iron-azole layer located at the interface acts as a promotor of adhesion, increasing the interaction of polymeric coatings with the steel surface. Taking into account these properties, the steel pretreatments can be used for improving the anticorrosion properties of polymeric coatings applied for the protection of steel constructions.

A theoretical and protection study was conducted of the corrosion behavior of carbon steel surface with different concentrations of the derivative (Quinolin-2-one), namly (1-Amino-4,7-dimethyl-6-nitro-1H-quinolin-2-one (ADNQ2O)). Theoretically, Density Functional Theory (DFT) of B3LYP/ 6-311++G (2d, 2p) level was used to calculate the optimized geometry, physical properties and chemical inhibition parameters, with the local reactivity to predict both the reactive centers and to locate the possible sites of nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks, in vacuum, and in two solvents (DMSO and H2O), all at the equilibrium geometry. Experimentally, the inhibition efficiencies (%IE) in the saline solution (of 3.5%) NaCl were studied using potentiometric polarization measurements. The results revealed that the (%IE) for carbon steel corrosion by ADNQ2O is (89.88%). The obtained thermodynamic parameters support the physical adsorption mechanism. The adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm. The surface change on carbon steel was studied using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy).

Corrosion inhibitive performance of some thiophene derivatives during the acidic corrosion of carbon steel surface in 1 M HCl was investigated by chemical technique (weight loss) and electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The effect of temperature on the corrosion rate was investigated by the weight loss method, and some thermodynamic parameters for corrosion and adsorption processes were determined and discussed. The results show that the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in inhibitor concentration and temperature. The adsorption of thiophene derivatives on the carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The obtained results indicated that the investigated compounds are chemically adsorbed on the steel surface. Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that these compounds are mixed-type inhibitors and the results obtained from the techniques are in good agreement.

AbstractThe present work aims to study 6-amino-4-aryl-2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivatives namely: 6-Amino-2-oxo-1,4-diphenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (PdC-H), 6-Amino-2-oxo-1-phenyl-4-(p-tolyl)-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (PdC-Me) and 6-Amino-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile (PdC-OH) as corrosion inhibitors to provide protection for carbon steel in a molar hydrochloric acid medium. Chemical measurements such as (weight loss) and electrochemical techniques such as (Potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and Electron frequency modulation) were applied to characterize the inhibitory properties of the synthesized derivatives. The adsorption of these derivatives on the carbon steel surface was confirmed by Attenuated Total Refraction Infrared (ATR-IR), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Our findings revealed that the tested derivatives have corrosion inhibition power, which increased significantly from 75.7 to 91.67% on the addition of KI (PdC-OH:KI = 1:1) to inhibited test solution with PdC-OH derivative at 25 °C. The adsorption process on the metal surface follows the Langmuir adsorption model. XPS analysis showed that the inhibitor layer consists of an iron oxide/hydroxide mixture in which the inhibitor molecules are incorporated. Computational chemical theories such as DFT calculations and Mont Carlo simulation have been performed to correlate the molecular properties of the investigated inhibitors with experimental efficiency. The theoretical speculation by Dmol3 corroborates with the results from the experimental findings.

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel  in 1 M HCl solution in the absence and presence of 4-(2-Cyano-7- hydroxy-4-methylene-hepta-2,5-dienoylamino)-benzoic acid (a), 4-[2-Cyano-3-(4-methoxy -phenyl)-acryloylamino]-benzoicacid.(b), 4-(2-Cyano-3-phenyl acryloylamino)-benzoic acid (c) ,4-[3-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-2-cyano-acryloylamino]-benzoic acid(d), was investigated using weight loss , potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The inhibitive action of the investigated compounds was discussed in terms of blocking the electrode surface by adsorption of the molecules through the active centers contained in their structures. The adsorption of these derivatives on carbon steel surface is consistent with Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion in the absence and presence of these compounds were also studied. Physical adsorption mechanism is proposed from the calculated thermodynamic parameters for all investigated compounds.

The corrosion process was analyzed for carbon steel when used in Ca(ClO)2hypochlorite Disinfection Solution. The corrosion resistance of Ni-P electroless coating was characterized by electrochemistry method. From the results, it was shown that the corrosion reaction can occur spontaneously according to the caculation result. The corrosion products existing on the carbon steel surface were loose and porous. The main conpositions of the products are about iron oxide. For Ni-P coatings, the corrosion current densities reduced gradually with the increasing of electroless plating time.

This corrosion study assessed the inhibition performance of carbon steel in 1 M of hydrochloric acid (HCl) using Good’s buffer ionic liquids (GBIL) namely 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium 2-(N-Morpholino) propane, [BMIM][MOPS] using electrochemical impedance, potentiodynamic polarization, and weight loss (gravimetric) measurements. GBIL are synthesized by the combination of Good's buffer as anion and various organic bases as the cation. The gravimetric measurements exhibit higher reduction in weight for carbon steel exposed to the acidic environment in the absence of corrosion inhibitor (CI) as compared to carbon steel immersed in the presence of inhibitor molecule. Potentiodynamic polarization study indicates that the synthesized inhibitor acted as a mixed type inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency increases with increase in the concentration of [BMIM][MOPS]. Corrosion protection efficiency ranging from 88% to 90% was featured at 800 ppm of CI in the HCl medium. The adsorption of [BMIM][MOPS] on the carbon steel surface was described by the Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The scanning electron micrographs inspected the morphology of the carbon steel surface exposed to the solution without and with the presence of inhibitor. The result showed that compound effectively suppressed corrosion by the appearance of an improved surface structure of carbon steel with increasing concentration of [BMIM][MOPS].

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the inhibitive action of an ethanol extract from the leaves ofPachycormus discolor (EEPD)on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1 M HCl at different temperatures; gravimetric method and electrochemical tests were conducted. Potentiodynamic polarization was used at room temperature and resistance polarization at different temperatures. Thermodynamic adsorption parameters are shown in order to demonstrate the spontaneous adsorption. The inhibition of EEPD was performed via adsorption of the extract species on the carbon steel surface. The ethanol extract obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization results indicate that the ethanol extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor. The results revealed that the inhibition efficiency (IE) of EEPD increases (when the concentration is increased). Phytochemical and FTIR analyses are also presented in this work. It was found that the IE increases with the temperature in a 2.0% v/v solution which showed 94.52% IE at C and 97.89% at C.

In this work, a ternary TiO2/Graphene oxide/Polyaniline (TiO2/GO/PANI) nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ oxidation and use as a filler on epoxy resin (TiO2/GO/PANI/EP), a bifunctional in situ protective coating has been developed and reinforced the Q235 carbon steel protection against corrosion. The structure and optical properties of the obtained composites are characterized by XRD, FTIR, and UV–vis. Compared to bare TiO2 and bare Q235, the TiO2/GO/PANI/EP coating exhibited prominent photoelectrochemical properties, such as the photocurrent density increased 0.06 A/cm2 and the corrosion potential shifted from −651 mV to −851 mV, respectively. The results show that the TiO2/GO/PANI nanocomposite has an extended light absorption range and the effective separation of electron-hole pairs improves the photoelectrochemical performance, and also provides cathodic protection to Q235 steel under dark conditions. The TiO2/GO/PANI/EP coating can isolate the Q235 steel from the external corrosive environment, and may generally be regarded a useful protective barrier coating to metallic materials. When the TiO2/GO/PANI composite is dispersed in the EP, the compactness of the coating is improved and the protective barrier effect is enhanced.
