Abstract
A newly Schiff base 1, 13-bis-[(4-dimethylamino) benzaldehyde 4, 7, 10-trioxatridecane-diimine] (DABT) was synthesized and characterized on the basis of the results of FT-IR, mass spectroscopy (MS), 1HNMR and 13CNMR. The desired performance of the organic compound DABT which is easy, inexpensive to prepare and eco-friendly, as a corrosion inhibitor for C45 carbon steel in 1 M HCl medium was evaluated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The results suggest that the corrosion inhibition effectiveness increases with increasing inhibitor concentration and decreases with increasing temperature. The polarization experiments demonstrate that DABT exhibits the characteristics of a mixed-type inhibitor and follows the Langmuir isotherm in its adsorption behavior. Contact angle measurement revealed that the inhibitor on the surface of the carbon steel is hydrophobic. The synergistic effect of DABT has been investigated; inhibitory efficiency rises with increasing concentration of KI by competitive adsorption to form a layer of protection on the metal surface. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) combined with scanning electron microscope (SEM) was utilized to interpret the morphological study of the carbon steel surface. A good correlation was found between theoretical [Density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics simulation (MDS)] and experimental findings.
