Preparation of Eco-Friendly Acidic Corrosion Inhibitors from Ilex Chinensis Sims Leaves

Preparing chemicals from natural product is a simple way to green chemistry. May flavonoids and protocatechuic acid have been found in Ilex Chinensis Sims leaves extracts, which indicates its extracts suitable to be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor. Extracts of Ilex Chinensis Sims leaves (HE) were modified with hydroxymethylation reaction and Mannich reaction to produce the relative stable green acidic corrosion inhibitors (HM1 and HM2). The extracts of Ilex Chinensis Sims leaves and the modified samples were investigated on the corrosion inhibition of A3 steel accordingly. The results show that these inhibitors have effective corrosion inhibition effect on A3 steel. The HM2 are the most effective for corrosion inhibition, and the inhibition efficiency can reach to 78.36%. At 60 °C, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of these three extracts is HM2 > HM1 > HE. And the extracts inhibit corrosion mainly by adsorption mechanism. This adsorption accords with Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Evaluation of the Inhibitive Effect of Ibuprofen Drug on the Acidic Corrosion of Aluminium 6063 Alloy

This research examined the corrosion inhibition potency of inhibitive Ibuprofen drug (IID)on aluminium 6063. The effect of the inhibitive drug was tested in 0.5 M of H2SO4 solutionusing potentiodynamic method. The concentration of IID was mixed to the acidic mediumin 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 ml respectively. The polarization experiment shows IID adsorbed onaluminium specimens. Increase in IID concentration decreases corrosion rate of aluminiumspecimens. Maximum inhibitive efficiency of 80.58 % and further studies on the inhibitoryeffect of the drug inhibitor revealed that Freundlich isotherm displayed a regressioncoefficient value of 0.7893 while Langmuir isotherm exhibits a regression coefficient valueof 0.8864. These values of regression establish the reliability of IID as inhibitor, whichshows that IID can be used as inhibitor corrosion of aluminium in aggressive environmentsuch as marine and petrochemical industries where protection of aluminium is a necessity.
