Inhibitory Effect of Stachytarpheta mutabilis Extracts on the Corrosion of Mild Steel in Acidic Media

The anticorrosive potential of Stachytarpheta mutabilis leaf extract (SMLE) as a corrosion inhibitor for corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl was investigated using weight loss measurement as well as gasometric techniques at 30 and 60 oc. Relevant thermodynamic equations were employed to estimate the activation energy, enthalpy change and entropy change. The adsorption isotherms were used to determine the Gibbs free energy change. Results obtained showed that SMLE functioned as an excellent corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in the acidic environment. Temperature studies revealed a decrease in inhibition efficiency with increase in temperature and activation energies increased in the presence of the extract. The adsorption of SMLE on mild steel was approximated using Freundlich, Flory-Huggins, Frumkin, El-Awary’s and Temkin isotherms but Langmuir gave the best fit. Both kinetic and thermodynamic parameters governing the adsorption process were calculated and discussed. The adsorption followed a first order kinetics. As concluded from the results, the adsorption of S. mutabilis on mild steel in 1M HCl medium is feasible, spontaneous and it occurred by physical adsorption. From the experimental results obtained, it can be concluded that SMLE inhibit corrosion effectively when compared well with many reported green inhibitors for MS corrosion.

Evaluation of the efficiency of coconut dust extract as a corrosion inhibitor for steel reinforcement in concrete by mass spectrometry

Ethanol extraction was employed to isolate a range of compounds from waste products derived from coconut fiber production (coconut dust) in Ben Tre, Vietnam. Phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, saponins, alkaloids, flobatannins, and anthraquinones among the extracted substances. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis supported the identification of oxygen and nitrogen atoms within functional groups (e.g., O–H, N–H, C–O) and aromatic rings, characteristic of typical corrosion inhibitors. Mass spectrometry investigations indicated that when St3 steel was exposed to an alkaline solution lacking chlorides, a passive film composed of FeOOH formed on the surface. However, upon the addition of NaCl at a concentration of 1.00 mol/dm3, FeCl, FeCl2Cl–, and FeCl3Cl– compounds were detected across the analyzed surface, while peaks corresponding to FeOO– were absent. Remarkably, areas with the highest concentration of particles corresponded to regions exhibiting visible corrosion damage under magnification. The addition of 2.00 g/dm3 of coconut dust extract to the chloride solution prevents the formation of Fe and Cl compounds on the steel surface. Consequently, only peaks characteristic of FeOO– and organic fragments containing oxygen atoms from the extract were observed. Based on these results, it can be assumed that coconut dust extract has the potential to inhibit local (pitting) corrosion of low-carbon steel (St3) when exposed to aqueous alkaline solutions simulating concrete pore liquid containing chlorides. The addition of 2.00 g/dm3 of the extract has been shown to prevent pitting formation at a chloride concentration of 1.00 mol/dm3. Conversely, in the absence of the extract, visible local corrosion damage was observed upon magnification. These findings provide a basis for further exploration of the protective properties of coconut dust extract as an environment-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in concrete environments containing chlorides.

1-(Tert-Butoxy)Propan-2-Amine and It's Efficacy Towards Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Marine Environment – Experimental Study

The alloy of iron has wide applications in industries ranging from health to construction sector. The mild steel is the most sought alloy of iron in industries and is preferred due to its low cost and better mechanical properties. Even though mild steel possesses high mechanical strength it may readily undergo corrosion during its usage in adverse environments. Therefore, in the present research an effort was made to improve the inhibition of mild steel corrosion in the presence of chloride ions using 1-(tert-butoxy)propan-2-amine. The mild steel samples were initially investigated for weight loss measurements to assess the state of mild steel in different concentrations of 1-(tert-butoxy)propan-2-amine and later subjected to electrochemical studies using Tafel polarisation and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to know the corrosion state when exposed to inhibited and uninhibited solutions of 3.5% NaCl. The microstructural characterisation using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis gives the surface micrographs of the mild steel subjected to corrosion and inhibition. The inhibitor is found to perform better with high inhibition efficiency from above tests when compared to the uninhibited solution and is a clear indication of the corrosion inhibiting property of the employed inhibitor. The presence of π-electrons on heteroatoms in the employed organic inhibitor is the main reason for the inhibition efficiency and effective adsorption on the mild steel surface.

Ferrous metal corrosion studies in presence of eco-friendly acacia melanoxylon leaves extract in 1M HCl condition

Mild steels are the most widely used type of ferrous metal, but when exposed to corrosive media, they are susceptible to rusting. Recently, researchers have focused on employing environmentally sustainable corrosion inhibitors extracted from plant leaves to protect steel materials against corrosion in acidic regions. This research aims to investigate the prevention of corrosion and surface adsorption strategies of crude acacia melanoxylon extract (AMLE) on mild steel in a 1M HCl environment. AMLE is an exceptionally effective mild steel corrosion inhibitor that has the advantage of being eco-friendly, which was examined using chemical and electrochemical techniques. The mass loss method was used in the study to assess how well the inhibitor performed at various temperatures and doses in a 1M HCl solution. EIS and polarisation experiments were utilized to conduct electrochemical evaluations. The mild steel surface study was projected using the SEM and Contact angle studies and the interaction of active components was elaborated through theoretical quantum chemical techniques. The extract of AMLE contains a large number of phytochemical components that reduce the MS corrosion rate in an acidic solution. At a concentration of 1g/L inhibitor, the highest inhibition effectiveness of 99.35% was attained. Further polarization experimental results noticed that AMLE components function as a mixed-type inhibitor.

Benzothiazole-based ionic liquids as environment-friendly and high-efficiency corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in HCl: Experimental and theoretical studies

Two benzothiazole ionic liquids – (E)-3-ethyl-2-(4-hydroxystyryl) benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide ([EHSBT]I) and (E)-3-ethyl-2-(4-hydroxystyryl)benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium bromide ([EHSBT]Br) generate the outstanding protection when employed as green corrosion inhibitors for the steel against aggressive acid solution at different temperatures. The corrosion efficiency of [EHSBT]I and [EHSBT]Br with the low dosage of 0.2 mM is 98.16 % and 89.68 %, respectively, at 303 K. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of [EHSBT]I decreases with the increased temperature and [EHSBT]Br is the opposite. Fortunately, both [EHSBT]I and [EHSBT]Br exhibit the inhibition efficiency of greater than 95 % even when it achieves 333 K, which is ascribed to the dominant chemical adsorption. Likewise, the electrochemical investigation presents the increasement of the charge transfer resistance and interfacial electric double layer thickness due to their adsorption on the substrate, restraining the metal dissolution and hydrogen evolution. The findings of the surface structure and appearance using UV–vis, FT-IR, XPS, SEM-EDS, AFM suggest that the inhibitors can form the complex film ([EHSTB]I-Fe, [EHSTB]Br-Fe) to shield the metal from corrosive particulates via chemical bonding. The confirmation of the active sites and adsorption configuration through theoretical calculation such as DFT and MD, along with RDF, promotes a further comprehension of the corrosion mitigation mechanism, which coincides with the experimental conclusion that the preparation of a stable protective film realizes the superior inhibition performance against high temperature acid corrosion.

Isolation, Characterisation and Corrosion Inhibition Evaluation of 1, 3, 5-Trimethoxymethylbenzenefrom Seeds Extract of Cola nitida on Mild Steel Surface in Hyhrochloric Acid Solution

Corrosion inhibition of Mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution by 1, 3, 5-trimethoxymethylbenzene (TMMB) isolated from seeds extract of Cola nitida was studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic methods. TMMB was isolated from seeds of C. nitida by 72 hours maceration of the chopped seeds with dichloromethane. Filtered and concentrated extract was subjected to a combination of vacuum liquid, column and thin layer chromatographic techniques. The isolated compound was characterized using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectrophotometer, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (+H-NMR), C13 – NMR and DEPT-135 NMR spectrophotmeters. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency recorded by the weight loss method increased with the increase in TMMB concentration, but decreased with increasing temperature. The inhibition efficiencies recorded by the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic methods also increased with increase in the concentration of TMMB. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the corrosion inhibition process was endothermic and spontaneous in nature. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements confirmed that TMMB worked as a mixed – type inhibitor considering the value of Ecorrbeing less than 85 mV. Impedance measurement revealed that the charge transfer resistance offered by TMMB to the migration of aggressive ions on the surface of mild steel in acidic solution was enough to impede corrosion. The best line of fit to the adsorption of TMMB onto mild steel surface was found in Temkin isotherm. Formation of protective dense film on the steel surface in the presence of TMMB compared to the blank was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The molecular structure of TMMB was optimized using Gausian 09 with density functional theory [DFT/B3LYP/6-31G (d,p)]. Physical adsorption has been proposed for the adsorption of TMMB onto mild steel surface.

Development of 1-phenyl-3-(4-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)phenyl)urea derivatives as robust corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl environment: Insight from ,molecular, experimental, and microscopic-scale modelling approaches

Cost-effective, novel urea derivatives, 1-phenyl-3-(4-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)phenyl)urea (U-1), 1‐(4‐fluorophenyl)‐3‐(4‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)phenyl)urea (U-2), and 1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3‐(4‐(pyridin‐4‐ylmethyl)phenyl)urea (U-3) were synthesized to investigate as the corrosion inhibitors for mild steel/1 M HCl interface. Inhibition efficiency increases with the increasing inhibitor’s concentration but decreases with increasing temperature. Thermodynamic adsorption and activation parameters demonstrate that the adsorption of inhibitors follows Langmuir isotherm via physicochemical interactions. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements reveal that the inhibitors are mixed-type, impeding the charge-transfer process. Surface analysis supports a thin inhibitor film formation on the mild steel. The maximum inhibition efficiency of U-1, U-2 and U-3 are 94.97 ± 0.38%, 93.60 ± 0.62% and 97.42 ± 0.48% respectively. The calculated electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) parameters such as ohmic resistance, double layer capacitance, relaxation time, effective thickness, and conductivity of grain and grain boundary are in-line with the efficiencies of NHUs. The performance of corrosion inhibitors follows a sequence U-3 > U-1 > U-2, emphasizing the influence of the substituent’s inductive effect (-CH3 > -H > -F) in inhibitors. Density functional theory (DFT) was performed to understand the correlation between molecular structure and inhibition efficiency. The Fukui indices confirm the presence of local attacking sites on the metal surface where inhibitors attack. A molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is used to determine the interaction energies between the inhibitors and mild steel. Radial Distribution Function (RDF) measurements confirm the existence of the chemical nature of the interaction. Furthermore, the diffusion coefficient of corrosive particles, self-diffusion coefficient of inhibitors, fractional free volume (FFV), and interaction between inhibitor’s film and corrosive particles are examined. Theoretical studies support experimental results.

Exploration of rigid double schiff base with a symmetrical plane as highly effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric acid environment: Experimental and theoretical approaches

A rigid double Schiff base with a symmetrical plane, (1E,1′E)-N,N’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(pyrazin-2-yl)ethanimine) (PBPE), has been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. The corrosion inhibition performance of PBPE for mild steel in 1.0 mol L−1 HCl solution was systematically measured by weight loss method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization technique, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), atomic force microscope (AFM), and water contact angle measurement. The inhibition efficiency depends upon the PBPE concentration and the maximum inhibition efficiency by weight loss analysis is 93.10 % at 800 mg L−1 PBPE. The potentiodynamic polarization measurement revealed that PBPE behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor with a predominant anodic reaction. The thermodynamics adsorption analysis showed the adsorption of the PBPE molecules on the surface of mild steel obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm, with both physisorption and chemisorption. In the corrosion reaction, the activation energy, activation enthalpy, and activation entropy all increased with increasing PBPE concentration. The surface morphology analysis such as SEM-EDS, AFM, and water contact angle further confirmed adsorption on the mild steel surface and resulted in the formation of protective film on the mild steel surface in PBPE solution. The quantum chemical parameters obtained such as global softness, electron transfer fraction, and energy gap together with Fukui indices can explain the good inhibition efficiency. Molecular dynamics simulations discovered that the PBPE molecules in a flat manner are adsorbed on the surface of mild steel, thus giving rise to a more effective adsorption and corrosion inhibition.

Anticorrosion studies of 5-acetyl-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one: approach from experimental, DFT studies, and MD simulation

Abstract The effectiveness of 5-acetyl-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acidic conditions was investigated herein through the experimental and theoretical approach. Experimental results demonstrated that this compound acts as a reliable corrosion inhibitor (η %) for mild steel in acidic environments, with its inhibition efficiency increasing as the inhibitor concentration rises. Adsorption behavior on the mild steel surface followed Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms. Electrochemical polarization tests indicated that the compound exhibited a mixed corrosion type, and impedance spectroscopy revealed an increase in charge transfer resistance with higher inhibitor concentrations. Examination of the mild steel surface using SEM and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) confirmed the formation of a protective film. Wettability characteristics were assessed using the contact angle method. Frontier molecular orbital analysis revealed the HOMO and LUMO values for both the neutral and protonated forms of the compound. At 289 °C, the interaction energy for adsorption was found to be approximately −146.3006 kJ/mol for the neutral system and −135.8122 kJ/mol for the protonated system, while at 318 °C, the corresponding values were −140.6106 kJ/mol and −147.6022 kJ/mol. These findings collectively suggest the potential industrial utility of the investigated inhibitor as an effective corrosion inhibitor.

Selenocyanates and selenotetrazoles derivatives: A detailed experimental and theoretical evaluation as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in aggressive environment

This work presents the selenocyanates ESCA and ESCP and their derivatives selenotetrazoles ETSP and ETSA, which were synthesized with good to excellent yields. The compounds were designed and studied as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 mol L−1 HCl. Weight loss experiments showed that ESCP, ESCA, ETSP, and ETSA mitigate corrosion from 81.1 to 92.8 % at 2.00 mmol L−1 (298 K). At higher temperatures (338 K), those values go from 85 to 95 %. EIS shows that the mechanism of corrosion is by charge transfer and that the organic compounds act by adsorbing in the surface and blocking the active sites. Polarization curves and EFM prove that the corrosion density is significantly lower in the presence of the four molecules, and they all are mixed-type corrosion inhibitors. AFM depicted the topography of the metallic surface and point to the formation of an adsorbed protective film. Atomistic simulations using ab initio DFT were employed to investigate the interactions between selenocyanates and selenotetrazoles with an Fe(110) metal surface, elucidating the adsorption geometries and electronic properties. Our findings demonstrated that the adsorption geometries and resultant bonds, particularly those involving oxygen (O), selenium (Se), and nitrogen (N) atoms, critically influence the corrosion inhibition capabilities of these molecules. ESCA and ETSP showed bond rupture of C-Se while ESCP had no covalent bonding with iron atoms, which can explain their lower inhibitive performance compared to more energetically stable ETSA.

Two novel phosphoramide derivatives moiety as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel: Experimental and theoretical study

Two novel phosphoramide containing thiazole derivatives with the name of bis(5‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl) phenylphosphonotrithioate (C1) and O, O‐diethyl (5‐((diethoxyphosphorothioyl) thio)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2yl) phosphoramidothioate (C2) as corrosion inhibition were synthesized and identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopies. The electrochemical behavior of mild steel (MS) in hydrochloric acid 1‐M (HCl) solution was perused in the absence and presence of C1 and C2. To determine corrosion inhibition of phosphoramide compounds, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used. The EIS results show that the charge transfer resistance increases with the addition of inhibitors to the hydrochloric acid solution. The most inhibitor efficiency was 89%, which demonstrated the appropriate anti‐corrosion property of C1. EIS results show better charge transfer resistance on the surface of MS at increased inhibitor concentrations. The PDP analysis showed that C1 and C2 are mixed‐type inhibitors. The PDP examination appeared that C1 and C2 are mixed‐type inhibitors. To way better get the comes about of corrosion inhibition and structure of target compounds, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and least unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies, hardness, dipole moment, and electrophilicity index of synthesized compounds were explored computationally using the density functional theory (DFT) strategy. The hypothetical comes about in great understanding with the exploratory information.

Sustainable and Green Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel: Insights from Electrochemical and Computational Approaches

Evaluation of adsorption and corrosion inhibition properties of Solanum Macrocarpon leaves extract on mild steel in sulphuric acid solutions

Corrosion of mild steel (MS) in industries has become a menace that has led to the use of organic green inhibitors from plant origin, which is seen as a cheap, eco-friendly substitute for inorganic inhibitors. This work employed Solanum macrocarpon (SM) methanol leaf extract as a green inhibitor using a gravimetric method at 303–323 K, respectively. The phytochemical screening was done using standard methods to identify the phytochemical compounds in the leave extract. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis was also done to elucidate the functional groups that contain heteroatoms responsible for the inhibition efficiency. The effectiveness of the inhibition efficiency increased with concentration and decreased with rising temperature. The results demonstrated that Solanum macrocarpon leaf methanol extract is an effective mild steel corrosion inhibitor in 0.5 M H2SO4. 95% optimum inhibition efficiency (I.E) was observed at 0.5% w/v concentration for 303 K. The inhibition potential was attributed to the phytochemical compounds in the leaf extract, which contain polar functional groups and hetero-atoms in their structures.
