CORROSION INHIBITION OF CARBON STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIA BY BIFURCARIA BIFURCATA EXTRACT

The effect of extract of brown alga Bifurcaria bifurcata (Bb) on the corrosion of steel in 1 M HCl solution was studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic, and polarization resistance measurements. Experimental data revealed that Bb extract acted as an inhibitor in the acid environment. The extract was a mixed-type inhibitor, predominating as an anodic inhibitor at higher concentration. It was found that the inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in Bb extract concentration. The corrosion inhibition of Bb extract on carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution was also investigated by infrared and UV-visible spectrophotometry to obtain information on bonding mechanism between the metallic surface and the inhibitor. The process of inhibition is attributed to the adsorption of the extract molecules, the precipitation of Fe-chelates, and/or formation of complex at the electrode surface.     

CORROSION INHIBITION AND ADSORPTION BEHAVIOR OF SOME AZO DYE DERIVATIVES ON CARBON STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIUM: SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF HALIDE IONS

Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in HCl by azo dye derivatives (ADD) was investigated using chemical and electrochemical techniques. Results obtained indicate that ADD inhibited the corrosion of carbon steel in the acid medium. Inhibition efficiency increases with increase in ADD concentration and is synergistically enhanced on addition of iodide and bromide ions. By fitting the obtained experimental data with the Langmuir adsorption model and the Arrhenius equation, some thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for the corrosion process were estimated, and the values support the results obtained. Some quantum chemical parameters and the Mulliken charge densities for ADD were calculated by the MNDO semi-empirical method to provide further insight into the mechanism of inhibition of the corrosion process.     

CORROSION INHIBITION OF CARBON STEEL IN LOW CHLORIDE MEDIA BY AN AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF HIBISCUS ROSA-SINENSIS LINN

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of an aqueous extract of white flower, namely, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn., in controlling corrosion of carbon steel immersed in an aqueous solution containing 60 ppm of Cl^-has been evaluated by the mass loss method. The flower extract (FE) shows good IE. In the presence of Zn²⁺, excellent IE is shown by the flower extract. A synergistic effect exists between the flower extract and Zn²⁺. The mechanistic aspects of corrosion inhibition have been investigated by polarization study and AC impedance spectra. Polarization study reveals that the formulation consisting of flower extract and Zn²⁺ functions as a mixed inhibitor. AC impedance spectra reveal that a protective film is formed on the metal surface. The active principle in the flower extract is quercetin-3-O-glucoside. This has been confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectra. The protective film formed on the metal surface has been analyzed by FT-IR and AFM spectra. It is found that the protective film consists of Fe²⁺-quercetin-3-O-glucoside complex and Zn(OH)₂.     

ANISALIDINE DERIVATIVES AS CORROSION INHIBITORS OF MILD STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIA. 1

The corrosion inhibitory properties on mild steel in acidic media by nitrogen-containing ligands N-(4-nitro phenyl) p-anisalidine (SB1), N-(4-chloro phenyl) p-anisalidine (SB2), N-(4-phenyl) p-anisalidine (SB3), N-(4-methoxy phenyl) p-anisalidine (SB4), and N-(4-hydroxy phenyl) p-anisalidine (SB5) have been studied using mass loss, thermometric, and potentiostatic polarization techniques. Due to adsorption of the additive molecules on the metal surface the inhibition efficiency increases up to 98.85% with increasing additive concentration. A synergistic effect exists between the Schiff base additives and mild steel. The mechanistic effect of corrosion inhibition has been investigated by the potentiostatic polarization technique. The impact of temperature on the performance of these compounds clearly shows the effect of the decomposition and desorption of these compounds at higher temperatures.     

BIOMASS EXTRACTS FOR MATERIALS PROTECTION: CORROSION INHIBITION OF MILD STEEL IN ACIDIC MEDIA BY Terminalia chebula EXTRACTS

The inhibiting action of the fruit extract of Terminalia chebula (TC) on mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution was studied using gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The experimental results showed that TC functioned as an inhibitor in the acidic corrodent and that corrosion inhibition efficiency increased with extract concentration. Cathodic and anodic polarization curves show that TC functioned as a mixed-type inhibitor, while impedance results show that the extract organic matter was adsorbed at the metal/corrodent interphase. A computational study of the adsorption behavior of some of the organic constituents of the extracts was carried out using density functional theory (DFT). The computations were used to theoretically ascertain the individual contributions of the constituents to the observed corrosion-inhibiting effect of the extract.     

THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN FRUIT EXTRACT OF SHAHJAN (MORINGA OLEIFERA) ON THE CORROSION OF MILD STEEL IN HYDROCHLORIC ACID SOLUTION

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution by the fruit extract of shahjan (Moringa oleifera) was studied using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization, and potentiodynamic polarization techniques (Tafel). Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the extract. The effect of temperature, immersion time, and acid concentration on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solutions with addition of extract was also studied. The inhibition occurred via adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the mild steel surface obeying the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic activation parameters such as activation energy, enthalpy (ΔH*), and entropy (ΔS*) of activation for corrosion process were calculated and discussed. The results obtained show that both chemical and physical adsorption of inhibitor molecules occur simultaneously and the fruit extract of shahjan (Moringa oleifera) could serve as an effective inhibitor of the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid media.

SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF N,N-BIS(PHOSPHONOMETHYL) GLYCINE AND ZINC IONS IN CORROSION CONTROL OF CARBON STEEL IN COOLING WATER SYSTEMS

A protective film has been developed on the surface of carbon steel in low chloride aqueous environment using a synergistic mixture of an environmentally friendly phosphonic acid, N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl) glycine (BPMG), and zinc ions. Impedance studies of the metal/solution interface indicated that the surface film is highly protective against the corrosion of carbon steel in the chosen environment. Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that the inhibitor is a mixed inhibitor. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis (XPS) of the film showed the presence of the elements iron, phosphorus, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and zinc. Deconvolution spectra of these elements in the surface film showed the presence of oxides/hydroxides of iron(III), Zn(OH)₂, and [Zn(II)-BPMG] complex. This inference is further supported by the reflection absorption Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the surface film. Analysis by SEM is presented for both the corroded and protected metal surfaces. Based on all these results, a plausible mechanism of corrosion inhibition is proposed.
