5-Heptadec-8-enyl-4-phenyl-4H–[1,2,4] triazole-3-thiol (HPTT), 4-phenyl-5-undecyl-4H–[1,2,4] triazole-3-thiol (PUTT), and 5-dec-9-enyl-4-phenyl-4H–[1,2,4] triazole-3-thiol (DPTT) were synthesized and their influence on the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel in 20% formic acid was investigated by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The inhibition efficiency of these compounds was found to vary with their nature and concentration, temperature and immersion time. The values of activation energy and free energy of adsorption of the triazoles were calculated to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Good inhibition efficiency (>90%) was found even at lower concentration (i.e., 25 ppm) in acid solution. The adsorption on mild steel surfaces was found to obey Temkin's adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization results revealed that the compounds studied are mixed type inhibitors. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was also used to investigate the mechanism of the corrosion inhibition.

Passive film characterization was done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).     

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by alkylimidazolium ionic liquids in hydrochloric acid

The acid corrosion inhibition process of mild steel in 1 M HCl by 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorides (BMIC) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([BMIM]HSO₄) has been investigated using electrochemical impedance, potentiodynamic polarization and weight loss measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization studies indicate the studied inhibitors are mixed type inhibitors. For both inhibitors, the inhibition efficiency increased with increase in the concentration of the inhibitor and the effectiveness of the two inhibitors are in the order [BMIM]HSO₄ > BMIC. The adsorption of the inhibitors on mild steel surface obeyed the Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior in the presence of 5 × 10⁻³ M of inhibitors was studied in the temperature range of 303-333 K. The associated activation energy of corrosion and other thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy of activation (ΔH), entropy of activation (ΔS), adsorption equilibrium constant (K_ads) and standard free energy of adsorption (ΔG_ads) were calculated to elaborate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition.     

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.

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.     

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by aerobic biofilm

Mild steel electrodes were incubated in phosphate-buffered basal salt solution (BSS) having two different aerobic bacteria, viz. Pseudomonas alcaligenes and Pseudomonas cichorii. In the medium containing P. cichorii, significant reduction in the corrosion rate was observed due to the surface reaction leading to the formation of corrosion inhibiting bacterial biofilm. With a view to understand the mechanism of microbially influenced corrosion/corrosion inhibition, electrochemical and biological experiments such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and biochemical analysis were made. The exposed surfaces were examined using scanning electron micrographs (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). The scraped surface film was also examined using FT-IR spectroscopy. The results suggested that mild steel surface contained iron oxide-phosphate layer covered with bacteria and exo polymeric substance (EPS)/iron-EPS complex for P. cichorii and iron oxides and iron phosphate for P. alcaligenes.

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.

Benzotriazole derivatives, namely, N-[1-(benzotriazolo-1-yl)alkyl] aryl amine (BTMA), N-[1-(benzotriazolo-1-yl)aryl] aryl amine (BTBA), and 1-hydroxy methyl benzotriazole (HBTA), were synthesized and their inhibition behaviour on mild steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ at room temperature was investigated by various techniques. 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.     

Synergistic inhibition effect of polyethylene glycol–polyvinyl pyrrolidone blends for mild steel corrosion in sulphuric acid medium

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in sulphuric acid solution in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and their blends was investigated using weight loss and hydrogen evolution techniques at temperature range of 30–60°C. It was found that inhibition efficiency (η%) increases with increase in concentration of the homopolymers and decreases with increase in temperature. Inhibition efficiency was found to be synergistically enhanced on blending the two polymers with highest inhibition efficiency obtained for (PEG : PVP) blending ratio of 1 : 3. The experimental data obtained fitted well into Temkin adsorption isotherm model. Physical adsorption mechanism is proposed from the trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature. The proposed mechanism is also corroborated by kinetic and thermodynamic parameters obtained. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

Inhibiting properties and adsorption of some thioamides on mild steel in sulphuric acid solutions

The inhibiting properties and adsorption behaviour of thioacetamide (TAA), thiobenzamide (TBA) and thiocinnamamide (TCA) on mild steel in sulphuric acid solution were studied by gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. TBA and TCA were found to be mixed type inhibitors providing good corrosion inhibition. Different mechanisms of adsorption and corrosion inhibition were observed for the tested thioamides. In the cases of TBA and TCA, the adsorption of the compounds is chemical and the values of the activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential factor (A) are lower than the corresponding values observed in inhibitor free solution. The adsorption of TAA is physical and the values of Ea and А are higher than the corresponding values in sulphuric acid solution. The adsorption process of TBA and TCA on the mild steel/sulphuric acid solution interface is described by Langmuir’s isotherm. A correlation between the adsorption capability and the inhibiting efficiency of the molecules and their donor–acceptor properties (E _HOMO and E _LUMO) has been established. It is ascertained that the protection effect of TAA depends on the amount of hydrolysis products.     

Acetyl thiourea chitosan as an eco-friendly inhibitor for mild steel in sulphuric acid medium

Acetyl thiourea chitosan polymer (ATUCS) has been synthesized and evaluated as corrosion inhibitor. The electrochemical behavior of mild steel in naturally aerated 0.5 M H₂SO₄ acid containing different concentrations of ATUCS has been studied by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and surface examination via scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique. The results of EIS showed that the resistance (R_t) increases slightly with increasing immersion time indicating a slight decrease in corrosion rate of the steel with time. Also, the corrosion rate increases with either increasing temperature or decreasing the polymer concentration as observed by polarization technique. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements under open-circuit conditions confirmed well polarization results. ATUCS has shown very good inhibition efficiency (IE) in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution reaches to 94.5% for 0.76 mM concentration. IE of this compound has been found to vary with the concentration of the polymer solution, immersion time and temperature.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid medium by new photo-cross-linkable polymers

Photo-cross-linkable polymers namely, poly((E)-(1-(5-(4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)phenoxy)pentyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl acrylate) (Cl-5) and poly((E)-(1-(5-(4-(3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)phenoxy)decyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl acrylate) (Cl-10) were synthesized by click-chemistry. The polymers were characterized by using various spectroscopic techniques and the rate of cross-linking was evaluated by absorption spectroscopy. The inhibitory action of the photo-cross-linkable polymers was evaluated for mild steel (MS) corrosion in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization measurements, adsorption isotherms and surface analysis. To the best of our knowledge, these are the most efficient inhibitors (Cl-5 and C-10) for the corrosion of MS in HCl reported so far. Tafel polarization measurements showed that the polymers act as mixed type inhibitors and the adsorption of the inhibitors onto the MS surface followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of the Gibbs free energy of adsorption (ΔG_ads) strongly supported spontaneous physicochemical adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the MS surface. The SEM-EDX results confirmed that the cross-linked polymers inhibited the corrosion to a greater extent than the intact polymer.

Surface analysis was carried out to establish the mechanism of corrosion inhibition of mild steel in neutral aqueous media.
