Abstract

AbstractThis paper deals with the N80 steel corrosion protection study in 15% HCl which was carried by three quinoline derivatives namely 3-acetyl-1-(4-methylbenzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-1), 3-acetyl-1-(4 hydroxy benzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-2), 3-acetyl-1-(3-nitrobenzylideneamino) quinolin-2(1H)-one (AQ-3) using gravimetric, electrochemical, and quantum chemical studies. Tafel polarization showed that AQs are mixed type inhibitors but dominantly affect cathodic reaction more. The observed results reveal that AQ-1 is the best inhibitor. All the three inhibitors were found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs supports the protection of the N80 steel by AQs. Quantum chemical study reveals that the inhibitors have a tendency to get protonated and this protonated form has greater tendency to get adsorbed onto the N80 steel surface.

Highlights

  • Hydrochloric acid is more commonly used for acidization of oil wells in order to enhance the oil production

  • 15% hydrochloric acid (HCl) is forced into the oil well through the N80 steel made tubing, in order to open the bore channels and increases the oil flow

  • The present paper reports the inhibition action of three quinoline derivatives namely 3-acetyl1-(4-methylbenzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-1), 3-acetyl-1-(4 hydroxy benzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-2), 3-acetyl-1-(3-nitrobenzylideneamino) quinolin-2(1H)-one (AQ-3), using gravimetric measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS), Tafel polarization, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Quantum studies in both neutral and protonated forms

Summary

Introduction

Hydrochloric acid is more commonly used for acidization of oil wells in order to enhance the oil production. 15% HCl is forced into the oil well through the N80 steel made tubing, in order to open the bore channels and increases the oil flow. This process has a negative impact i.e. it severely causes the corrosion of N80 steel. The purpose of this research work was to investigate the corrosion inhibition performance of three quinoline derivatives namely 3-acetyl-1-(4-methylbenzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-1), 3-acetyl-1-(4 hydroxy benzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-2), 3-acetyl-1-(3 nitro benzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-3) as potential environmentfriendly corrosion inhibitors for N80 steel in 15% hydrochloric acid (HCl), which has application in petroleum industry during acidizing process. The present paper reports the inhibition action of three quinoline derivatives namely 3-acetyl1-(4-methylbenzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-1), 3-acetyl-1-(4 hydroxy benzylideneamino) quinolin-2-one (AQ-2), 3-acetyl-1-(3-nitrobenzylideneamino) quinolin-2(1H)-one (AQ-3), using gravimetric measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS), Tafel polarization, SEM, and Quantum studies in both neutral and protonated forms
