Adsorption and inhibitive properties of some new Mannich bases of Isatin derivatives on corrosion of mild steel in acidic media

Adsorption of four derivatives of piperidinylmethylindoline-2-one on mild steel surface in 1 M HCl solution and its corrosion inhibition properties has been studied by a series of techniques, such as polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), weight loss and quantum chemical calculation methods. The values of activation energy (E_a) for mild steel corrosion and various thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed that all inhibitors are mixed type. The degree of surface coverage was determined by using weight loss measurements and it was found that adsorption process of studied inhibitors on mild steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Corrosion Protection Properties of 4-[(E)-[(2,4-Dihydroxy phenyl)methylidene] amino]-6-methyl-3-sulfanylidene-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazin-5-one [DMSTT] Toward Mild Steel in Sulfuric Acid

The inhibition of mild steel corrosion in aerated 0.5 N H₂SO₄ solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization studies (Tafel), linear polarization studies, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies, adsorption studies, and surface morphological studies. The effect of inhibitor concentration on corrosion rate, the effect of temperature, degree of surface coverage, adsorption kinetics, and surface morphology are investigated. The inhibition efficiency increased markedly with increase in the additive concentration and decreased slightly with increasing temperature. The presence of DMSTT decrease the double-layer capacitance and increase the charge transfer resistance. The value of activation energy (E _a) of metal corrosion, adsorption equilibrium constant (K _ads), and free energy of adsorption (ΔG _ads) were calculated from the temperature dependence of corrosion current. The adsorption of inhibitor molecule on mild steel surface follow Langmuir isotherm. DMSTT offers excellent inhibition properties and acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.     

Inhibiting effects of some mercapto-triazole derivatives on the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl medium

The effect of some mercapto-triazole derivatives synthesized in the laboratory containing different hetero atoms and substituents in the organic structures on the corrosion and hydrogen permeation of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was investigated by weight loss and various electrochemical techniques. Results obtained reveal that all the mercapto-triazole derivatives perform excellently as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl. Potentiodynamic polarization studies have shown that all these compounds suppress both the anodic and cathodic process and they behave as mixed-type inhibitors. Double layer capacitance and charge transfer resistance values were derived from Nyquist plots obtained from AC impedance studies. Changes in impedance parameters are indicative of the adsorption of these compounds on the metal surface. The inhibition efficiency mainly depends on the nature of the investigated compounds. The values of the inhibition efficiency calculated from these techniques are in reasonably good agreement. The extent of reduction of hydrogen permeation current through mild steel surface was studied by the hydrogen electropermeation technique. The adsorption of these compounds on mild steel surface is found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The free energy of adsorption for inhibiting process was determined on the basis of Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Thiosemicarbazide as an inhibitor for the acid corrosion of iron

The results presented here show the effectiveness of thiosemicarbazide (TSC) as an inhibitor for acid corrosion of iron. The percentage inhibition has been found to increase with concentration up to a maximum of ca. 95% for 10^?2M inhibitor.Cathodic polarization measurements showed that TSC is a cathodic inhibitor and that its adsorption in the double layer does not change the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction although it significantly reduces its rate. The degree of coverage was calculated from the shift in the cathodic Tafel line and was found to be independent of potential, but increased with inhibitor concentration. The results are analyzed in terms of both molecular and cationic adsorption.     

Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1N sulphuric acid through indole

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1N sulphuric acid containing various concentrations of indole was studied in the temperature range of 25–70°C through the use of potentiodynamic polarization curves. The indole was found to shift the corrosion potentials to positive values and to decrease the dissolution of mild steel and hydrogen evolution reaction. The effect, however, was more pronounced on the anodic rather then the cathodic process. Indole did not generally affect the corrosion reaction mechanism (blocking effect). The reported activation energy (E_a) values indicate that the inhibiting effect increased with the indole concentration. At temperatures of 25, 40, 55 and 70°C the adsorption behaviour of the indole follows Temkin's isotherm with a standard free energy of adsorption of ?54.49, ?39.41, ?43.49 and ?55.25 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Caffeic acid as a green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel

The inhibitor effect of the naturally occurring biological molecule caffeic acid on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.1 M H₂SO₄ was investigated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance and Raman spectroscopy. The different techniques confirmed the adsorption of caffeic acid onto the mild steel surface and consequently the inhibition of the corrosion process. Caffeic acid acts by decreasing the available cathodic reaction area and modifying the activation energy of the anodic reaction. A mechanism is proposed to explain the inhibitory action of the corrosion inhibitor.     

Determining true rate constants of hydrogen evolution and solid-phase diffusion at adsorption of inhibitor

The adsorption of benzalkonium chloride on a surface of St3 steel in 0.1 N HCl + 0.9 N KCl and 0.9 N HCl + 0.1 N KCl solutions is studied using impedance spectroscopy. Taking into account the surface coverage of the electrode with the inhibitor, the true rate constants of the main stages of the cathodic hydrogen evolution and solid-phase diffusion of hydrogen, as well as the surface coverage with hydrogen in the solutions studied, are calculated.     

Influence of 2,3-Dihydroxyflavanone on Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Acidic Medium

The inhibition effect of 2,3-dihydroxyflavone on the corrosion of mild steel in 100-600 ppm aqueous hydrochloric acid solution has been investigated by weight loss and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration and time. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1 M HCl with addition of inhibitor was studied at the temperature range of 300-330 K. UV-Vis, FTIR, and surface analysis (SEM) was also carried out to establish the corrosion inhibitive property of this inhibitor in HCl solution. The adsorption of this inhibitor on the mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Electrochemical studies reveal that the inhibitor is a cathodic type.     

Effects of corrosion product deposit on the subsequent cathodic and anodic reactions of X-70 steel in near-neutral pH solution

The effects of corrosion product deposit on the subsequent anodic and cathodic reactions of X-70 steel in a near-neutral pH solution were investigated by localized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS), scanning vibrating micro-electrode (SVME) and macroscopic EIS measurements as well as surface analysis technique. It is found that the deposit layer formed on the steel surface is porous, non-compact in nature. The presence of a corrosion product layer would enhance adsorption, but significantly inhibit absorption and permeation of hydrogen atoms into steel. It is due to the porous structure of the deposit that generates a spatial separation of cathodic and anodic reaction sites, resulting in an increased effective surface area for hydrogen adsorption and, simultaneously, a “blocking” effect on hydrogen absorption and permeation. The deposit enhances greatly anodic dissolution of the steel, which is attributed to the adsorption of the intermediate species and the resultant “self-catalytic” mechanism for corrosion of the steel in near-neutral pH solution. In the presence of corrosion product deposit on the pipeline steel surface, pipeline corrosion, especially pitting corrosion, is expected to be enhanced. Stress corrosion cracks could initiate from the corrosion pits that form under deposit. However, deposit does not contribute to hydrogen permeation, although the hydrogen evolution is enhanced.     

Investigation of adsorption and corrosion inhibition effect of 1,1’-thiocarbonyldiimidazole on mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution

The adsorption and inhibition effect of 1,1′-thiocarbonyldiimidazole (TCDI) on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M HCl solution was studied in both short and long immersion time (120 h) with the help of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LPR) techniques. For long-time tests, the hydrogen gas evolution (VH₂-t) and the change of open circuit potential with immersion time (E _ocp-t) were also utilized in addition to the former two techniques. The surface morphology of MS after its exposure to 0.5 M HCl solution with and without 1.0 × 10⁻² M TCDI was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was demonstrated that the inhibition efficiency of studied inhibitor is concentration depended and increased with TCDI concentration. The higher value of inhibition efficiency was obtained after longer immersion time merely on the basis of strong increase of corrosion rate of mild steel in the blank solution. The high inhibition efficiency was discussed in terms of adsorption of inhibitor molecules and protective film formation on the mild steel surface which was substantiated by SEM micrographs. The adsorption of TCDI on MS was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Inhibition of the Acid Corrosion of Steel by n-Alkyltrimethyland n-Alkyltriethyl-ammonium Compounds

Abstract

Previous experiments with a dropping-mercury electrode indicated that n-alkyltriethylammonium ions are more strongly adsorbed than the corresponding n-alkyltrimethylammonium ions. In parallel with this, it has now been found that the former are better inhibitors of the acid corrosion of steel.

At concentrations giving up to 50% corrosion inhibition, the compounds of either series have no effect on the steel electrode potential, indicating that the anodic and cathodic reactions are equally inhibited. This is taken as evidence that the inhibitor ions are adsorbed generally over the metal surface rather than at specific anodic or cathodic sites.

With increasing concentration of inhibitor above the level for 50% inhibition, the potential begins to be displaced in a positive direction, suggesting that the anodic reaction is being inhibited more than the cathodic reaction. The results show that the proportion of cathodic inhibition is larger with the triethylammonium than with the trimethylammonium compounds.

The cathodic part of the inhibition appears to be due mainly to hindrance of the surface diffusion and recombination of adsorbed hydrogen atoms.     

The isoxazolidines: the effects of steric factor and hydrophobic chain length on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acidic medium

Several new isoxazolidines having varying degree of steric environment and hydrophobic chain length, prepared efficiently using single-step nitrone cycloaddition reactions, are tested for corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M and 5 M HCl at 50-70 °C range by gravimetric and electrochemical methods. All compounds have shown very good corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE%) in acidic solution. Steric crowding around the nitrogen centres and hydrophobic chain lengths as well as increase in temperature (in the presence of the inhibitor in the higher concentration range 100-400 ppm) are found to increase the inhibition efficiency of the isoxazolidines. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°_ads, ΔH°_ads, ΔS°_ads) for the adsorption process and kinetic parameters for the metal dissolution (or hydrogen evolution) reaction in the presence of one of the isoxazolidines were determined. Experimental results agree with the Temkin adsorption isotherm. The inhibition of corrosion in 1 M HCl, influenced by both physi- and chemi-sorption, was found to be under mixed control, but predominantly under cathodic control.     

Corrosion inhibition of austenitic stainless steel by some pyrimidine compounds in hydrochloric acid

The inhibition effect of two pyrimidine derivatives on the corrosion of austenitic stainless steel in 1 M HCl has been studied by Tafel plot, linear polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at 298 K. Results showed that compounds inhibited steel corrosion in a 1 M HCl solution and inhibition efficiencies increased with the concentration of inhibitor. Polarization curves indicated that all studied pyrimidine derivatives act as mixed type (cathodic/anodic) inhibitors. The adsorption of the inhibitors on the stainless steel surface was found to obey the Langmuir and Dubinin–Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. Negative values of ΔG_ads in the acidic media ensured the spontaneity of the adsorption process.

Inhibition of Mild Steel Corrosion Using l-Histidine and Synergistic Surfactants Additives

The corrosion inhibition behavior of nitrogen-containing amino acid l-Histidine (LHS) on mild steel in 0.1 M H₂SO₄ solution in the temperature range of 30-60 °C was studied by weight loss measurements, and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The effect of the addition of very small concentration of surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), respectively on the corrosion inhibition behavior of LHS was also studied. The surface morphology of the corroded steel samples was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). LHS significantly reduces the corrosion rates of mild steel, with the maximum inhibition efficiency (IE) being 71.09% at 30 °C in the presence of 500 ppm of LHS. The IE of LHS is synergistically increased in the presence of SDS and CTAB. The SEM and AFM photographs show a clearly different surface morphology in the presence of additives. LHS alone and in combination with surfactants obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm from the fit of the experimental data of all concentration and temperature studied. The calculated thermodynamic parameters for adsorption reveal strong interaction between the inhibitors and the mild steel surface, and suggest physical adsorption. The results obtained by potentiodynamic polarization measurements are consistent with the results of the weight loss measurement. LHS acts more anodic than cathodic inhibitor.     

Rhodanine azosulpha drugs as corrosion inhibitors for corrosion of 304 stainless steel in hydrochloric acid solution

The effect of rhodanine azosulpha drugs on the corrosion behaviour of 304 stainless steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution as corrosive medium has been investigated using weight loss and potentiostatic polarization techniques. Some corrosion parameters such as anodic and cathodic Tafel slope, corrosion potential, corrosion current, exchange current densities, surface coverage and inhibition efficiency were calculated. The polarization measurements indicated that the inhibitors are of mixed type and inhibit corrosion by parallel adsorption on the surface of steel due to the presence of more than one active centre in the inhibitor molecule. The adsorption is obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The activation energy and thermodynamic parameters were calculated at different temperature.     

The corrosion inhibitory property of N,N‐bis(2‐benzimidazolylmethyl)amine for Q235 steel

The main purpose of this paper is to systematically evaluate the anti‐corrosion property of N,N‐bis(2‐benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (IDB), which is a novel good thermal stabilized inhibitor in acidic medium. Results obtained from electrochemical tests and corrosion surface morphology analyses reveal that IDB performs excellently as corrosion inhibitor for Q235 steel in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid corrosive solution. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that IDB inhibits both the anodic and cathodic processes of corrosion and exhibits as a mixed‐type inhibitor. Besides, the inhibiting efficiency (IE%) and consequently the degree of surface coverage (θ) increase with the inhibitor concentration rising. And when the concentration is 20 × 10^?5 mol/L, the corrosion inhibition effect is best to reach 96.39%. The adsorption of inhibitor on Q235 steel is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the calculated Gibbs free energy demonstrates that IDB spontaneously adsorbs and forms a protective chemisorbed film on Q235 steel to restrain its corrosion. Hereby, IDB will become a promising corrosion inhibitor in further.     

Reactivity of polyester aliphatic amine surfactants as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in formation water (deep well water)

Effect of different concentrations, 40-200 ppm, of various polyester aliphatic amine surfactants on inhibition of the corrosion of carbon steel in the formation water (deep well water) was investigated. These surfactants exhibit different levels of inhibition particularly at high concentration (200 ppm). Inhibition efficiencies in the range 86-96% were determined by weight loss method. Comparable results were obtained from electrochemical measurements using Tafel extrapolation and polarisation resistance methods. It was shown that all the investigated surfactants act primarily as anodic inhibitors; however, they also affect the rate and mechanism of the cathodic reaction. These compounds function via adsorption on reactive sites on the corroding surface reducing the corrosion rate of the metal. It was revealed that the adsorption of these surfactants obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition effectiveness increases with the length of the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain, being a maximum in the presence of surfactant IV (∼96% efficiency). The corrosion inhibition feature of this compound is attributed to the presence of a long hydrocarbon chain that ensures large surface coverage as well as the presence of multiple active centers for adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy, SEM, has been applied to identify the surface morphology of carbon steel alloy in the absence and presence of the inhibitor molecules.     

Corrosion and hydrogen permeation inhibition for mild steel in HCl by isomers of organic compounds

Abstract

Hydrogen permeation and corrosion inhibition characteristics of isomers of phenylenediamine, toluidine, and nitroaniline were studied on mild steel in 1M HCl. The Tafel extrapolation method was used to determine the inhibition efficiency, while the Devanathan–Stachurski technique was used to determine the hydrogen permeation rate. The adsorption of these compounds on mild steel from 1M HCl obeys Langmuir's adsorption isotherm for toluidine and nitroaniline and Temkin's adsorption isotherm for phenylenediamine. Inhibition efficiency was found to be more for isomers of phenylenediamine followed by those of nitroaniline and toluidine. All the isomers of these three organic compounds inhibit the corrosion of and hydrogen permeation through mild steel in HCl in the order ortho > meta > para for phenylenediamine and nitroaniline and meta > ortho > para for toluidine.
