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

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of Landolphia heudelotii (LH) on mild steel in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H2SO4 using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Design/methodology/approach Water extract of LH was used as corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in acidic media at room temperature and elevated temperatures (30-60°C). Various concentrations of the plant extract were prepared from the stock solution obtained after solvent extraction. The inhibition efficiency of LH extract was evaluated and mechanism of adsorption was deduced. Findings LH extract showed significant corrosion inhibition on mild steel in both acidic media, with inhibition efficiency increasing with extract concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements revealed mixed inhibition mechanism. Optimum inhibition efficiency was recorded at 2500 mg/L after 288 h. Mechanism of adsorption was mainly of physisorption. The inhibitor exhibited good inhibition efficiency even at elevated temperature. Research limitations/implications This study provides new data on the anticorrosion characteristics of LH extract under the specified conditions. Further studies could expand the experimental variables and use advanced surface probe techniques. Practical implications The developed inhibitor provides an alternative method of inhibiting corrosion on mild steel using eco-friendly materials from natural products which are less toxic, safer, cost-effective and readily available. Originality/value The method used was effective and the inhibitor developed can be incorporated in surface coatings where mild steel is used as construction materials, as tube sheets, rods and bars.

Abstract Mild steel (a low carbon steel) is an affordable engineering material used for many purposes in various environments including mild acidic environment with some precautions. The corrosion behaviour of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M HCl, in the temperature range (303–323 K) without and with the inhibitor N-[(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) methyleneamino]-4-hydroxy-benzamide (DMHB), was investigated using Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques supplementing with surface characterization study using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force spectroscopy (AFM). Experimental observations were found to be in agreement with Density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The inhibition efficiency increases with increase in DMHB concentration and showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 86% in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 81% in 0.5 M HCl, respectively, at concentration of 3 × 10─3 M at 303 K. The inhibition efficiency of DMHB obtained relatively at its lower concentration (3 × 10─3 M) compared to other reported related compounds confirms its potential towards corrosion inhibition. The variation in the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters indicated physisorption of DMHB on MS and its mixed type inhibitive action followed Langmuir’s isotherm model. DFT calculations go along with the experimental results, signifying the potential corrosion inhibition behaviour of DMHB for MS in both the acid media.

The inhibitive effect of mebendazole (MBZ) on the corrosion of low-carbon steel in H2SO4 was investigated by gravimetric and electrochemical techniques as well as examination of specimens in the scanning electron microscope with attached energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). From gravimetric analysis, the highest inhibition efficiency of about 96.6% was obtained for 1.0 g of inhibitor in H2SO4 solution at 24 h, while with longer exposure times of between 72 to 120 h, the efficiencies averaged between 92 and 95%. Tafel extrapolations from the polarization curves showed that 1.0 g MBZ gave a maximum inhibition efficiency of approximately 99% for the investigation conducted at 30°C, whereas 1.5 g of MBZ gave a maximum inhibition efficiency of about 85% at 60°C. Inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentrations of MBZ and decreased at elevated temperatures. The inhibitive action was attributed to physical adsorption of MBZ species on the mild steel surface which followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. MBZ performed as a mixed-type inhibitor on mild steel in dilute H2SO4.

Abstract The ligands 1,10-phenanthroline, (P) and para-aminobenzoate, (B); as well as their corresponding MnPB complex [bis-(dimanganese di-μ-paraaminobenzoate dichloro diphenanthroline)] have been investigated as inhibitors of mild steel corrosion in H2SO4 (0.5 M) solutions via potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Stability of the prepared complex was examined by UV-visible spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition, thermodynamics, and adsorptive properties obtained have shown that MnPB complex has remarkable effects in the acidic solutions. Theoretical fitting of different adsorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Flory–Huggins, and the kinetic-thermodynamic models were tested and the thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated. The data revealed that the corrosion inhibition mechanism of mild steel in acidic solutions by the MnPB complex goes via physicochemical adsorption.

A heterocyclic imidazoline, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-2-imidazolines (TMP2I) was tested for its corrosion inhibition in 0.5 M H2SO4and 1 M HCl using weight loss, Tafel polarisation and electrochemical impedance techniques. The results show that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in concentration of TMP2I and the higher efficiency of about 98% is obtained in both the acid media at 20 ppm. The adsorption of TMP2I obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm and occurs spontaneously. Cathodic and anodic polarization curves of mild steel in the presence of different concentrations of TMP2I at 300C reveal that it is a mixed type of inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance studies reveal that the system follows mixed mode of inhibition. The surface morphology of the mild steel specimens was evaluated using SEM images

Purpose Tannic acid (TA) is one of the green corrosion inhibitors for mild steel; its anti-corrosive performance in alkaline water on mild steel when it is used together with polyaspartic acid (PASA) still has not been investigated. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective, biodegradable and environment-friendly novel corrosion inhibitor based on TA and PASA as an alternative to the conventional inorganic inhibitors for mild steel in decarbonised water, which is common in cooling systems. Design/methodology/approach Corrosion inhibition mechanism is investigated by electrochemical techniques such as polarisation measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and results were evaluated to determine the optimum inhibitor concentration for industrial applications. Additionally, practice-like conditions are carried out in pilot plant studies to simulate the conditions in cooling systems. Thus, the efficiencies of the inhibitors are evaluated through both weight loss and linear polarisation resistance measurements. Moreover, the corrosion product is characterised by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Findings TA shows high inhibition efficiency especially towards pitting corrosion for mild steel in decarbonised water. PASA addition in the cooling systems improves the inhibition efficiency of TA, and at lower concentrations of TA + PASA, it is possible to obtained better inhibition efficiency than TA alone at higher inhibitor amounts, which is essential in economic and environmental aspect. Originality/value A blended inhibitor program including TA and PASA with suggested concentrations in this work can be used as an environmental friendly treatment concept for the mild steel corrosion inhibition at cooling systems.

Purpose – This study aims to study electrochemically and by weight-loss experiments the effect of UAE Rhazya Stricta Decne extract on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution, which will serve researchers in the field of corrosion. Design/methodology/approach – Weight loss measurements were carried out on mild steel specimens in 1.0 M HCl and in 1.0 M HCl containing various concentrations (ranging from 2.0 to 0.002 g/L.) of the UAE Rhazya Stricta Decne extract at temperatures ranging from 303 to 343 K. Findings – The aqueous Rhazya Stricta Decne leaves extract was found to be a highly efficient inhibitor for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution, reaching about 90 per cent at 2.0 g/L and 303 K, a concentration considered to be very moderate. Even with one-tenth of that concentration, 0.2 g/L, an inhibition of about 82 per cent was obtained at 303 K. The rate of corrosion of the mild steel in 1.0 M HCl is a function of the concentration of the Rhazya Stricta Decne extract. This rate increases as the concentration of the Rhazya Stricta Decne extract is increased. The percentage of inhibition in the presence of this inhibitor was decreased with temperature which indicates that physical adsorption was the predominant inhibition mechanism because the quantity of adsorbed inhibitor decreases with increasing temperature. Practical implications – This inhibitor could have application in industries, where HCl solutions at elevated temperatures are used to remove scale and salts from steel surfaces, such as acid cleaning of tankage and pipeline, and may render dismantling unnecessary. Originality/value – This paper is intended to be added to the family of green corrosion inhibitors which are highly efficient and can be used in the area of corrosion prevention and control.

The present study was undertaken to find out the phytochemicals present in Bougainvillea glabra bracts extract and to compare the corrosion inhibition efficiency between B.glabra Pink, Orange and White coloured bract extract on mild steel in 1N HCl. Phyto chemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and tannins in the extract as confirmed by implying different qualitative tests specified for these phytochemical. Corrosion rate, inhibition efficiency, FTIR analysis was determined. The corrosion of mild steel in 1N HCl acid media was significantly reduced upon the additions of BG bract extracts. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increasing concentration of the inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency was observed at an optimum concentration of 2 % v/v.

Effects of Nepal origin plant species of Vitex negundo, Catharanthus roseu, Aegle marmelos and Elaeocarpus ganitrus extracts on mild steel corrosion were explored in bioethanol (E100) and its blend (E15) in airtight condition at 25±2 °C using static immersion, inhibition efficiency and mechanism tests which were complemented with adsorption isotherms and potentiodynamic polarization studies. Corrosion resistance of the mild steel was increased with increasing 500-2000 ppm concentrations of each plant extract in E100 and E15 biofuels. Additions of V. negundo and C. roseus extract separately in both the biofuels seems to be more effective inhibition actions to prevent the mild steel corrosion than A. marmelos or E. ganitrus addition so as the corrosion rates of the mild steel in E100 and E15 are successfully lowered even than in commercial gasoline (E0). The results obtained from the corrosion rate revealed the order of the corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) as V. negundo > C. roseus > A. marmelos > E. ganitrus. The maximum IE (IEmax) in V. negundo and C. roseus leaves was showed about 89-86% and 71-75%, respectively, at 2000 ppm concentration, in spite of the other two more plants leaf extract also used as the corrosion inhibitors for the mild steel in both E100 and E15 biofuels. The IE increased on increasing inhibitor concentration following the Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms but decreased with immersion time which suggested that the corrosion inhibition mechanism is of physical type of adsorption of the leaves constituents on the mild steel surface. A. marmelos extract acted as an anodic type of inhibitor in E100 and E15, while E. ganitrus acted as mixed
