Their influence on the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel in 20% formic acid (HCOOH) was investigated by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The inhibition efficiency of the compounds was found to vary with concentration, immersion time and temperature. All the compounds showed good inhibition efficiency (e _IE) in formic acid solution. Adsorption on mild steel obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization revealed that all three inhibitors, HMOD, UMOD, and DMOD are mixed inhibitors.

The values of activation energy and free energy of adsorption of all the triazoles were calculated to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. The potentiodynamic polarization studies were carried out at room temperature, according to which all the compounds were mixed type inhibitors and inhibit the corrosion of mild steel by blocking the active sites of the metal. The adsorption of all the triazoles on mild steel surface in both the acid solutions was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. All the compounds showed good inhibition efficiency in both acids. The inhibition efficiency of the compounds was found to vary with their nature and concentration, solution temperature and immersion time.

Fatty acid triazoles: Novel corrosion inhibitors for oil well steel (N-80) and mild steel

Three fatty acid triazoles, namely, 3-undecane-4-aryl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (triazole 1), 3(heptadeca-8-ene)-4-aryl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (triazole 2), and 3(deca-9-ene)-4-aryl-5-mercapto-1,2-4-triazole (triazole 3) were synthesized and their corrosion-inhibiting action in 15% hydrochloric acid was evaluated by weight-loss method and electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical polarization studies at room temperature indicated that all the triazoles are mixed-type inhibitors, i.e., they inhibit both anodic and cathodic reactions. The adsorption of these compounds onto mild steel from 15% HCl followed Temkin's adsorption isotherm.     

Corrosion inhibition effect of pyrazole derivatives on mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution

Synthesized compounds, namely methyl 5-(4-Chlorobenzoyloxy)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (MCPPC) and 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methylphenyl)4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-(pyridin-4-yl)methanone (MMDPPM) were investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in 15% HCl solution using weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Inhibition efficiency was found concentration-dependent and increased by increasing the concentration of MCPPC and MMDPPM. Both of inhibitors were efficient even at a very low concentration of 25 ppm. The inhibitors MCPPC and MMDPPM showed inhibition efficiency of 67.1 and 76.8%, respectively, at 25 ppm, whereas it was 92.0 and 95.9%, respectively, at 250 ppm concentration at 303 K. The potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that MCPPC and MMDPPM act as mixed-type inhibitor in 15% HCl solution. The Nyquist plots showed that charge transfer resistance increased and double-layer capacitance decreased on increasing the concentration of studied inhibitors due to adsorption of inhibitor molecules on MS surface. The adsorption of each inhibitor on MS surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. On the basis of thermodynamic adsorption parameters, mixed-type adsorption (physisorption and chemisorption) for the studied inhibitors on MS surface was suggested. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses confirmed the existence of a protective film of the inhibitor on MS surface. The density functional theory was employed for theoretical calculations, and the obtained results were found to be consistent with the experimental findings.

Preliminary screening of the inhibition efficiency (IE) was carried out using weight-loss measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization and AC impedance studies were used to investigate the inhibitor mechanism. Benzotriazole derivatives were found to act as mixed type inhibitors. Among the compounds studied, HBTA exhibited the best performance giving more than 95% IE in H₂SO₄ solutions. The passive film characterization was done using FTIR spectrum.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in sulfamic acid solution by S-containing amino acids

R_p, potentiodynamic polarization curves and EIS techniques were applied to study the effect of five S-containing amino acids on the corrosion of mild steel in 5% sulfamic acid solution at 40 °C. The compounds are effective inhibitors and the inhibition efficiency follow the order: N-acetylcysteine (ACC) > cysteine (RSH) > S-benzylcysteine (BzC) > cystine (RSSR) ≅ methionine (CH₃SR). The inhibitors affect the anodic dissolution of steel by blocking the anodic sites of the surface. EIS measurements indicated that charge transfer is the rate determining step in the absence and presence of the inhibitors and the steel/solution interface can be represented by the equivalent circuit R_s(R_ctQ_dl). Adsorption of RSH, CH₃SR and RSSR follows the Langmuir model while the Temkin isotherm describes the adsorption of ACC and BzC. From the application of the Flory–Huggins isotherm, the number of water molecules displaced by the adsorbing inhibitor molecules was estimated. The potential of zero charge pzc of mild steel without and with the inhibitors is calculated and the mechanism of corrosion inhibition is discussed in the light of the molecular structure.

Green polymers as corrosion inhibitors are gradually used to protect metal in solution environment. A polyaspartic acid threonine derivative (PASP-Thr) was synthesized and its structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The corrosion inhibition effect of polyaspartic acid (PASP) and PASP-Thr on carbon steel in simulated cooling water was investigated by weight loss tests and electrochemical measurements. Experimental results show PASP-Thr as a mixed-type inhibitor exhibits higher corrosion inhibition efficiency than PASP, and the inhibition efficiency of PASP-Thr reached 93.06% at the dosage was 200 mg L⁻¹. The carbon steel surface in different situations was analyzed using atomic force microscope, scanning electronic microscope/energy dispersive X-ray, and FTIR, demonstrates the formation of a protective film on carbon steel surface. The inhibition effect of PASP-Thr was primarily attributed to the protective film formed on steel surface by physical and chemical adsorption. Moreover, quantum chemical calculation elaborated the relationship between the inhibition efficiency and the PASP-Thr molecular structure. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
