The thermodynamic parameters (adsorption enthalpy ΔH_ads, adsorption free energy ΔG_ads and adsorption entropy ΔS_ads) have been calculated and discussed in detail. Polarization curves show that vanillin acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. EIS shows that charge transfer resistance increases while the capacitance of double layer decreases with the inhibitor concentration, confirming the adsorption process mechanism. The adsorbed film on CRS surface containing vanillin was examined by atomic force microscope (AFM). Quantum chemical calculation was applied to elucidate the adsorption mode of the inhibitor molecule onto steel surface. Depending on the results, the inhibitive mechanism is proposed from the viewpoint of adsorption theory.

The inhibition effect of 2-mercaptothiazoline (2MT) on the corrosion behavior of mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M HCl solution was studied in both short and long immersion times (120 h) using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LPR) techniques. For long-term tests, hydrogen gas evolution (VH₂−t) and the change of the open circuit potential with immersion time (E_ocp − t) were also measured in addition to the former three techniques. The surface morphology of the MS after its exposure to 0.5 M HCl solution with and without 1.0 × 10⁻² M 2MT with the different immersion times was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

The results showed that 2MT performed excellent inhibiting effect for the corrosion of the MS. Finally, the high inhibition efficiency was discussed in terms of adsorption of inhibitor molecules and protective film formation on the metal surface. TGA results also indicated that the inhibitor film on the surface had a relatively good thermal stability.     

In depth analysis of anti corrosion behaviour of eco friendly gum exudate for mild steel in sulphuric acid medium

The current research work was keen to examine the corrosion inhibition efficiency of mild steel (MS) in presence of aqueous extract of Araucaria heterophylla Gum (AHG) in 1?M H₂SO₄ medium. The phytoconstituents of the AHG were interpreted by GC-MS and corrosion inhibition efficiency was deduced using other techniques like weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the mild steel surface was supported by Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). It is seen from the results that the inhibitor exhibits optimum efficiency of 78.57% at 0.05% v/v on mild steel specimen in 1?M H₂SO₄ medium at room temperature. Tafel polarizations clearly show that the aqueous extract of AHG acts as a mixed type inhibitor. The change in the EIS parameters in presence of inhibitor is investigative of the protective layer formation of the mild steel surface. The adsorption is found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic and activation parameters for the corrosion inhibition process supported the physical adsorption mechanism.     

Preparation and adsorption performances of mesopore-enriched bamboo activated carbon

Activated carbon with high specific surface area and considerable mesopores was prepared from bamboo scraps by phosphoric acid activation. The effect of activation conditions was studied. Under the conditions of impregnating bamboo with 80% H₃PO₄ at 80°C for 9 days and activation at 500°C for 4 h, the prepared activated carbon had the highest mesopore volume of 0.67 cm³/g, a specific surface area of 1567 m²/g, and the mesopore ratio reached 47.18%. The study on adsorption isotherms of CH₄, CO₂, N₂ and O₂ on the activated carbon were carried out at 298 K. The considerable difference in the adsorption capacity between CO₂ and the other gases was observed, which would be of interest for the adsorptive separation/purification of gaseous CO₂ from its mixtures, especially from mixtures with N₂ and/or O₂. __________ Translated from Journal of Functional Materials, 2008, 39(3): 420–423 [译自: 功能材料]

A probable inhibitive mechanism is proposed from the viewpoint of adsorption theory.     

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by natural product compound

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in H₃PO₄ containing chloride or sulphate ions have been studied using different electrochemical techniques. The corrosion and hydrogen evolution of mild steel alloy in 2 M H₃PO₄ acid containing 0.5 M NaCl can be effectively inhibited by addition of natural product compound, Thymol (IPMP), of different concentrations. However, in 2 M H₃PO₄ containing 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ corrosion cannot be effectively inhibited. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements confirm the synergistic effects which describe the increase in the effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor in the presence of Cl⁻ ions in the corrosive medium. At any temperature, an increase in it leads to an increase of the corrosion rate and hydrogen evolution on mild steel. Polarization and EIS results are in good agreement with each other. The obtained results were confirmed by surface examination using scanning electron microscope.     

Ceftriaxone: a novel corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric acid

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 N HCl by Ceftriaxone was studied by polarization resistance, Tafel polarization, EIS, and weight loss measurement. The inhibitor showed more than 90% inhibition efficiency at optimum concentration of 400 ppm. Results obtained revealed that inhibition occurs through adsorption of the drug on the metal surface without a modification of the mechanism of the corrosion process. Potentiodynamic polarization suggests that this is a mixed type of inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Thermodynamic parameters such as E _a, ΔH, ΔS, ΔG and Q were calculated to investigate the mechanism of inhibition. All the investigations suggested that the compound follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.     

Some environmentally friendly formulations as inhibitors for mild steel corrosion in sulfuric acid solution

The corrosion resistance of mild steel in 1 M H₂SO₄ solution was evaluated after addition of Sn²⁺ and Zn²⁺, N-acetylcystein (ACC) and S-benzylcystein (BzC) as a function of concentration (5–1000 μM) and solution temperature (35–50°C). Eight blends were also investigated. Both polarization resistance (R _p) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed. For single additives, Zn²⁺ ions acted as accelerator for mild steel corrosion while the other additives showed good performance. The most effective additive was Sn²⁺. Adsorption of Sn²⁺, ACC and BzC obeyed the Temkin adsorption isotherm and had a very high negative value of free energy of adsorption (−ΔG°_ads). All blends provided good inhibition which increased with rise in temperature. Corrosion kinetic parameters such as activation energy (E _a) and the pre-exponential factor (λ) were calculated and discussed. EIS revealed that the interface of the uninhibited and inhibited systems can be represented by the simple equivalent circuit R _e(R _ct Q _dl).     

Effect of amino acids containing sulfur on the corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid solutions polluted with Cl−, F− and Fe3+ ions–behaviour near and at the corrosion potential

Research on non‐toxic inhibitors is of considerable interest in investigations into the replacement of hazardous classical molecules. This paper reports the action of four amino acids containing sulfur on the corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid solution with and without Cl^?, F^? and Fe³⁺ ions near and at the corrosion potential (E_corr) using both the polarization resistance method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Both cysteine and N‐acetylcysteine (ACC) showed higher inhibition efficiency than methionine and cystine. Adsorption of methionine onto a mild steel surface obeys the Frumkin adsorption isotherm and has a free energy of adsorption value (ΔG °_ads) lower than those obtained in the presence of cystine, cysteine and ACC whose adsorption isotherms follow that of Langmuir. Both F^? and Fe³⁺ ions stimulate mild steel corrosion while Cl^? ions inhibit it. The binary mixtures of methionine, cysteine or ACC with Cl^? or F^? ions are effective inhibitors (synergism) while the combinations of the amino acid with Fe³⁺ or the ternary Cl^?/F^?/Fe³⁺ mixture have low inhibitive action (antagonism). EIS measurements revealed that the charge transfer process mainly controls the mechanism of mild steel corrosion in phosphoric acid solution in the absence and presence of the investigated additives. The mechanism of corrosion inhibition or acceleration is discussed. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Some new triazole derivatives as inhibitors for mild steel corrosion in acidic medium

Two triazole derivatives, 3,4-dichloro-acetophenone-O-1′-(1′,3′,4′-triazolyl)-methaneoxime (4-DTM) and 2,5-dichloro-acetophenone-O-1′-(1′,3′,4′-triazolyl)-methaneoxime (5-DTM) were synthesized, and the inhibition effects for mild steel in 1 M HCl solutions were investigated by weight loss measurements, electrochemical tests and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The weight loss measurements showed that these compounds have excellent inhibiting effect at a concentration of 1.0 × 10⁻³ M. The potentiodynamic polarization experiment revealed that the triazole derivatives are inhibitors of mixed-type and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) confirmed that changes in the impedance parameters (R _ct and C _dl) are due to surface adsorption. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests were in good agreement. Adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm with negative values of the free energy of adsorption . The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption were determined and are discussed. Results show that both 4-DTM and 5-DTM are good inhibitors for mild steel in acid media.     

REMOVAL OF CADMIUM BY ANION EXCHANGE IN A WET PHOSPHORIC ACID PROCESS. PART 2: EQUILIBRIA,KINETICS AND REGENERATION

The removal of cadmium by anion exchange from 55 w% H₃PO₄ (black acid from a Nissan H process) at 90^°C in the presence of small amounts of halides (Cl^-, Br^-, I^-) was investigated. Cadmium distribution coefficients, [CD]^resin/[CD]_acid (concentrations in mol/1), larger than 250 were obtained with HBr equilibrium concentrations of more than 0.10 w% in the phosphoric acid solution or with HI concentrations of more than 150 ppm. The regeneration of the Cd loaded resin was performed with a very dilute phosphoric acid solution (< 1 w% H₃PO₄).

The excess of iodide in the phosphoric acid solution could also be- removed by anion exchange. A value of about 90 was obtained for the iodide distribution coefficient of a weakly basic resin. This resin could be regenerated with an 1 M NH₃ solution at 50^°C.

The rate of adsorption and desorption of both cadmium and iodide were mainly determined by the diffusion in the resin|particle. Effective diffusivities of about 3*10^-13 m^Z/s and 1.3*10^-11m^Z/s were obtained for the adsorption of cadmium in the presence of HI and for the adsorption of iodide respectively.     

Effect of amino acids containing sulfur on the corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid solutions containing Cl<Superscript>−</Superscript>, F<Superscript>−</Superscript> and Fe<Superscript>3+</Superscript> ions: Behavior under polarization conditions

The effect of cysteine (RSH), methionine (CH₃SR), cystine (RSSR) and N-acetylcysteine (ACC) on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 40% H₃PO₄ solution without and with Cl⁻, F⁻, Fe^3‰+ and their ternary mixture was studied using both potentiostatic and electrochemical impedance (EIS) techniques under anodic and cathodic polarization conditions. The inorganic additives stimulate the overall corrosion reaction while the amino acids inhibit it with a predominant effect on the dissolution of iron. Both RSH and ACC are adsorbed according to Temkin’s isotherm while adsorption of RSSR and CH₃SR follows Frumkin and Langmuir isotherms respectively. The standard free energy of adsorption (ΔG ) was found to be in the order: RSSR > RSH ≅ ACC > CH₃SR. The binary mixtures of Cl⁻ or F⁻ with RSH or CH₃SR are the best inhibitors (IE > 90%) while those containing ferric ions or blend I and amino acids are not good corrosion inhibitors. EIS measurements showed that the cathodic reaction, hydrogen evolution, is charge transfer controlled while the anodic one, iron dissolution, is a complex process.     

Effects of structure of the ionic head of cationic surfactant on its inhibition of acid corrosion of mild steel

Two n-alkyl-quaternary ammonium compounds were studied as corrosion inhibitors for acid corrosion of mild steel using electrochemical and weight loss methods. The two compounds are hexadecylpyridinium bromide (HDPB) and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HDTB). The influence of the structure of the ionic head on the inhibition action of the two cationic surfactants was studied by analyzing the data at different concentrations and temperatures. The inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration. It increases with temperature in the case of HDPB but decreases in the case of HDTB. The apparent activation energy, E _a of corrosion in the presence of HDPB was found to be lower than in blank (0.5 m H₂SO₄). In the case of HDTB, E _a was larger than that of the blank. A larger extent of adsorption for HDPB on the metal surface was evident from the larger negative values of the free energy of adsorption. The results yielded the extent and mode of adsorption of the inhibitors on mild steel. The stronger adsorption of HDPB was attributed to the differences in the molecular structures of the inhibitors.
