Abstract

The investigation of this study deals with the synthesis using green synthetic approach, characterization and application of benzoxanthones derivative namely 9,9-Dimethyl-12-p-tolyl-8, 9,10, 12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-1-one (TBX) for the inhibition of Q235 steel corrosion in 15% HCl under dynamic condition. The results of EIS confirmed towards the increment in Rct values with rise in concentration. Additionally, results of PDP reveals that TBX is cathodic type inhibitor. The maximum inhibitive excellency of TBX was given at 200 mg/L with the value of 92.3%. The increasing temperature tends to increase in corrosion rate. Langmuir adsorption isotherm provides the excellent fitting. The surface morphology and adsorption of TBX molecules were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-photo electron microscopy (XPS). Density functional theory (DFT) and Molecular dynamic simulation (MD) confirmed that corrosion inhibition efficiency ranking obtained for studied molecules is TBXH+> TBX.
