DFT calculations were carried out on significant Fenugreek seed compounds (1-Methylpyridinium-3-carboxylate MPC, Apigenin-8-C-glucose ACG, and 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine IBMP) as a green source of ecologically friendly Fe, Al, and Cu metal corrosion inhibitors. Complete geometry optimizations were performed by DFT-B3LYP/6-31G* to determine any relationship between the chemical structure and corrosion inhibition, mostly on metals' surfaces. Global computational parameters of the inhibitors and thermodynamic Gibbs process of adsorption of metals were calculated and used to evaluate each corrosion inhibitor's performance. Our findings showed that MPC has the maximum anti-corrosion efficiency across all molecules with a physical adsorption mechanism. It exhibited significant inhibition efficiency with Cu when compared with Fe and Al, based on the highest electrophilicity index (ω) values compared to other inhibitors and its impact on metals in the following manner: Cu>Fe>Al. In regards, the range of inhibitors increased by the following order: IBMP>ACG>MPC. Remarkable corrosion inhibition of MPC is demonstrated by its unique high electrophilicity, softness (σ), and lowest ∆Egap on the metal surface. These outcomes are close to the experimental

This work studied the phytochemicals and inhibitive properties of cashew extract as corrosion inhibitor of aluminium in H2SO4 medium. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the cashew extract were carried out to identify and quantify the phytochemicals for the corrosion inhibition process. Thermometric and gravimetric techniques were employed in the study of corrosion inhibition of aluminium in H2SO4 medium. The inhibition efficiency of the cashew extract was modeled using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) of Design Expert Software 9. It was revealed that phytochemicals of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, phenolics, phytates, saponins and tanins were present in the cashew extract at various degrees. The cashew extract is predominantly made of flavonoids (425.0mg/100g) followed by alkaloids (221.7mg/100g).Adsorption of the cashew extract on the Al surface obeyed physical adsorption mechanism. Thermometric and gravimetric techniques are in agreement of recording high inhibition efficiencies of 83.7% and 82.5% respectively. The phytochemicals of the cashew extract are good inhibitive agents for the corrosion control process. A quadratic model is adequate for the description of the inhibition efficiency of the cashew extract as a function of inhibitor concentration, temperature and time.

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.

Ligustrum vulgare is an evergreen tree. The leaves are opposite, glossy dark green, 6–17 centimetres (2.4–6.7 in) long and 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) broad. The ligustrum vulgare leaves contain two main components, one of which is oleanolic acid and the other is p-hydroxyphenylethanol which indicates its extracts suitable to be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor. Extracts of ligustrum vulgare leaves (PE) were modified with hydroxymethylation reaction (PM1) and Mannich reaction (PM2) to produce the relative stable green acidic corrosion inhibitors. The extracts of ligustrum vulgare leaves have been investigated on the corrosion inhibition of A3 steel with weight loss. The results show that these inhibitors have good corrosion inhibition effect on A3 steel. The PM2 are the most effective for corrosion inhibition, and the inhibition efficiency can reach 75.95%. When the temperature is 60°C, the corrosion inhibition rate of PE, PM1, PM2 is only 24.46%, 42.35% and 39.35% respectively which can not effectively prevent the corrosion of the metal. And the extracts inhibit corrosion mainly by adsorption mechanism. This adsorption accords with Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

The corrosion inhibition performance of ethanol extract of Andrographis paniculata (King Bitter) root (EEAPR) on the corrosion of Mild Steel (MS) in 1.0 M HCl and H2SO4 acid solutions at 303K and elevated temperatures of 313, 323 and 333K was investigated and compared. The experimental work was performed by the use of weight loss and hydrogen evolution techniques. The results indicate that the extract inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in both acid media. However, the EEAPR exhibits higher maximum inhibition efficiency of 98.9 % in HCl than in H2SO4 (95.0 %) at 5.0 g/L. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing concentration of extract in both acid media but decreased with rise in temperature. Inhibition mechanism was deduced from the temperature dependence of the inhibition efficiency as well as from activation parameters that govern the process. Adsorption of extract on the MS sample in both acid media was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The phenomenon of physical adsorption is proposed from the obtained thermodynamic parameters.Â

The corrosion behavior of aluminum (Al) in alkaline media in presence of some natural polymer inhibitors has been reinvestigated. The inhibition action of the tested inhibitors was found to obey both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing the inhibitors concentration and decrease with increasing the temperature, suggesting physical adsorption mechanism. Factors such as the concentration and geometrical structure of the inhibitor, concentration of the corrosive medium, and temperature affecting the corrosion rates were examined. The kinetic parameters were evaluated, and a suitable corrosion mechanism consistent with the kinetic results obtained is suggested and discussed.

The corrosion inhibition of copper in 3% NaCl solution by 3-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole (ATA) has been studied in relation to the concentration of the inhibitor using electrochemical (AC impedance and dc polarization) techniques. The results indicate that ATA has good corrosion inhibition for copper in 3% NaCl solution. The inhibition efficiency attains the maximum value of 97.65% when the concentration of ATA is 20 mg•L-1.Polarisation curves show that ATA behaves as a type of cathodal inhibition in 3% NaCl solution. Adsorption of the ATA is found to follow the Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm, and the adsorption mechanism is typical of chemisorption.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and blended formulations on the corrosion inhibition of aluminium in HCl solutions at 30-60°C and to study the mechanism of action. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibitive effect of the homopolymers and polymer blend was assessed using weight loss and hydrogen evolution methods at 30 and 60°C. The morphology of the corroding aluminium surface without and with the additives was visualized using atomic force microscopy. The trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature was used to propose the mechanism of inhibition and type of adsorption. Findings – Results obtained show that inhibition efficiency (η%) increases with increase in concentration of the polymers but decreases with increase in temperature. The inhibition efficiency of the homopolymers and their blends decreased with rise in temperature. Inhibition efficiency was found to be synergistically enhanced on blending the two homopolymers with highest inhibition efficiency obtained for (PEG:PVP) blending ratio of 1:3. The phenomenon of physical adsorption is proposed from the trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature. Research limitations/implications – The mechanistic aspect of the corrosion inhibition can be better understood using electrochemical studies such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Originality/value – Studies involving the use of polymer blends/mixtures as corrosion inhibitor for metals in corrosive environments are scarce. The results suggest that the mixture could find practical application in corrosion control in aqueous acidic environment. The data obtained would form part of database on the use of polymer–polymer mixtures to control acid-induced corrosion of metal.

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by 7-(ethylthiobenzimidazolyl) theophylline (7-ETBT) in 1 M HCl medium was investigated through weight loss and Tafel polarization techniques within a temperature range of 298 to 318 K. The inhibition efficiency depends on the concen­tration of 7-ETBT and reaction system temperature. The maximum inhibition efficiency values of 90.73 and 87.06 %, respectively, were estimated using both weight loss and Tafel polarization techniques at 298 K. The results suggest spontaneous and predominant physical adsorption of 7-ETBT on the metal surface which obeys Langmuir isotherm model. Furthermore, Tafel polarization method revealed that 7-ETBT is a mixed-type inhibitor. Po­tentiodynamic polarization results are in accordance with weight loss data to a good extent.

The corrosion inhibition potential of lannea acida (LA) ethanol leaves extract was investigated using mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. The leaves extract was characterized using FT- IR Spectroscopy. The surface analysis of the mild steel was also studied using scanning electron microscopy. The study was carried out at an ambient temperature and selected high temperatures. The LA leaves extract concentration ranges from 0.1- 0.9g/L. The data obtained from weight loss measurements show that the leaves extract repressed the corrosion rate of mild steel. The increase in temperature with a corresponding increase or decrease in the inhibitor efficiency of LA leaves extract shows that the adsorption mechanism obeyed comprehensive adsorption. The value of activation energies (Ea) obtained which ranged from 15.32 to 17.63 kJ mol-1 agrees with the physical adsorption mechanism. The values of enthalpy of activation (ΔH*) obtained were positive and ranged from 38.29 to 59.00 KJ mol-1 is an indication that the dissolution of the mild steel is an endothermic reaction and requires less energy in the presence of LA leaves extract. The values of entropy of activation (ΔS*) obtained which were negative indicate that the activated complex in the rate-determining step is associative rather than dissociative. The kinetics study shows the adsorption process follows first-order kinetics. The adsorption isotherm data fitted best into Freundlich adsorption isotherm

Corrosion inhibition efficiency of acid extract of dryEmblica officinalisleaves for mild steel in 1N HCl medium is investigated in the present study. Experimental methods include weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance studies. The results indicateEmblica officinalisleaves to be a good corrosion inhibitor of a mixed type and having efficiency of 87.9% at 2% v/v inhibitor concentration. Corrosion inhibition may be due to the spontaneous physical adsorption of the plant constituents on the mild steel surface. Experimental data fitted the Langmuir, Temkin, Freundlich and Flory-Huggins adsorption isotherms.
