Cathodic Corrosion Inhibition of Steel by Musa Paradisiaca Leave Extract

It is reported here that the phytochemicals present on the surface of the Musa paradisiaca (MPL) prevent water and other corroding agents from having direct access to the surface of mild steel. These phytochemicals were extracted from the MPL using 70% Ethanol solution and Weight Loss experiment was carried out with variation of temperature, time and concentration HCl and that of the MPL extract in % v/v. The inhibition eFFect of M. paradisiaca leaves of mild steel in aqueous solutions of Hydrochloric acid were investigated at 25, 35, 45 and 60 oC being immersed simultaneously and independently in the acid medium over a period of 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. A protecting film appeared on the metal surface by the MPL extract via electron donation, hence, acting as the cathode. The temperature and immersion time were inversely proportional to inhibition effciency while concentration of MPL is directly proportional. FT-IR of the extract showed oxygen and nitrogen containing functional groups which are the general characteristics of a typical corrosion inhibitor, while the Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) investigation revealed different biomolecules thus suggesting that the plant extract consists of different molecules.

Electrochemical Corrosion Measurements of MEA Aqueous Solutions at Elevated Temperatures

Corrosion can cause serious problems to amine treating plants as it can lead to unexpected downtime, production loss, and even personnel injury. This work utilizes electrochemical method to study the corrosion behavior of C1018 mild steel in aqueous solutions of monoethanolamine (MEA) upon addition of carbon dioxide (CO2) as well as nitric acid at temperatures of 25 °C to 80 °C. Solvent pH decreased upon temperature increase and CO2 loading, while the corrosion rates were most influenced by solvent temperature as both anodic and cathodic reaction rates increased. Addition of nitric acid gave a similar pH and corrosion rate as the addition of CO2 on a molar basis. Solvent rich in CO2 was found to have similar corrosivity as lean MEA despite the lower pH of solvent.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in aqueous solutions using nonionic surfactants

The inhibiting effect of nonionic surfactant of Tween-20 and 60 on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M HCl was studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The results show that inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the inhibitor concentration, while it decreases with increasing the temperature. The adsorption of Tweens on the mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel was also studied at four temperatures ranging from 25 to 55°C the thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. The values of free energy of adsorption for investigated Tweens were calculated. It was found the adsorption process is spontaneous and increases, in the same direction as inhibition efficiency. Polarization curves show that Tween-20 and 60 is mixed-type inhibitors but the cathode is more polarized than the anode. The results obtained from chemical and electrochemical techniques are in good agreement.

Tilia leafs as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in aqueous solutions

Tilia Leafs extract activity as a green corrosion inhibitor (environmental friendly) for mild steel in 1M HCl has been tested using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained results show that Tilia Leafs extract is an excellent corrosion inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the temperature from 25 to 45°C, reaching a maximum value of 79% at the highest concentration of 300 ppm at the temperature of 45°C. Polarization measurements demonstrate that the Tilia Leafs extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor. Nyquist plot illustrates that on increasing Tilia Leafs extract concentration, the charge transfer increases and the double layer capacitance decreases. The adsorption of Tilia Leafs extract on mild steel obeys Temkin adsorption isotherm.

Electrochemical and X-ray structural study of corrosion inhibition and adsorption behavior for mild steel by a new Schiff-base cobalt complex in HCl

A new cobalt(III) Schiff base omplex (SBCC), [Co(L)2]Cl (where L = N-(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)ethyl) 5-methoxysalicylideneimine), was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. Intramolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stack molecules on 020 directions and intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the chloride ions is the result of stacking the molecules on c direction in unit cell and 011 crystallographic sheets. More available surface area collect from 020 sheets and these surfaces are useful for making a blocking layer of complex with adsorption on the surface of steel. Corrosion inhibition and adsorption behavior of mild steel in 0.5 M HCl by SBCC were investigated using electrochemical techniques. It was found that inhibition efficiency increased with SBCC concentration. The inhibition efficiency is 84% for 400 ppm concentration of the complex. Corrosion inhibition was afforded by adsorption of SBCC onto the metal following El-Awady kinetic-thermodynamic adsorption isotherm model. The results obtained show that SBCC acts as a mixed-type inhibitor and it could serve as an effective corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in aqueous solution.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel used in water station in 35 ppm aluminum sulfate and 10 ppm chloride solu- tion by Camellia sinensis leaves extract was studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques at 30 o C. Results show that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentra- tion of the extract and decreases with increasing temperature. Inhibitive effect was afforded by adsorption of the extract's components which was found to accord with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Inhibition mechanism is deduced from the tem- perature dependence of the inhibition efficiency and was further corroborated by the values of activation parameters obtained from the experimental data. water plant) of composition (wt%) 0.13 C, 0.029 Si, 0.018 S, 0.0067 P, 0.397 Mn, 0.025 Ni, 0.0076 Cr, 0.0020 Mo, 0.0010 V, 0.036 Cu, 0.0010 Sn, 0.0057 Co, 0.126 Al, 0.023 Zn, 0.0020 Mg, 0.0046 Nb, and 0.0025 Bi, the rest Fe.

Effect of Serine and Methionine on Electrochemical Behavior of the Corrosion of Mild Steel in Aqueous Solutions

The pitting corrosion behaviour of mild steel in Na2HPO4 solutions contains chloride ion as an aggressive ion and serine and methionine as inhibitors were investigated using open-circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and pitting corrosion current measurements; both inhibitors shift the potential in the positive direction. The corrosion rate of the mild steel was measured in the absence and presence of the inhibitors, and the inhibition efficiency of the amino acids at a concentration of 0.02 M was calculated. The pitting corrosion current shows that increasing concentration of the inhibitor causes a decrease in pitting current density, and inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration of the inhibitors. The adsorption of these inhibitors on the mild steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm, and the calculated adsorption free energy (ΔGads0) for the inhibitors on the mild steel in 0.1 M (Na2HPO4 + NaCl) solutions was found to be (−24.61, −29.34) kJ/mol for serine and methionine, respectively, which reveals strong physical adsorption of the amino acids molecules on the mild steel surface.

Electrochemical characterisation of the ability of dicarboxylic acid salts to the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in aqueous solutions

Electrochemical measurements (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarisation and open circuit potential (OCP) measurements) were used to study the corrosion protection of mild steel in aerated neutral solution of selected dicarboxylates. It was shown that all investigated carboxylates are effective in the presence of air. Most of the carboxylates act predominantly at local defects in the primary oxide layer by forming of weakly soluble Fe(III) compounds, in agreement with the pore plugging concept. As known, carboxylates, which can also be adsorbed on the oxide covered mild steel surface, should own an enhanced efficiency. It was found that the adsorption ability of dicarboxylates their selves are weak, but the corrosion protective effect could be improved considerably, if mixtures of dicarboxylates with monocarboxylates are used. The additional inhibition effect was ascribed to the ability of monocarboxylates to adsorb stronger on the oxide covered mild steel surface than dicarboxylates. The sebacate/caprinate mixture provides the best protection comparable with the synergistic effect observed with carboxylate in the presence of benzotriazole, too.

Modelling of carbon dioxide corrosion of steel with iron carbonate precipitation

Corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions containing carbon dioxide was modelled under condition that protective iron carbonate films formed on the steel surface. In this model, the film form on the steel surface due to precipitation of iron carbonate from saturated solution. The precipitation of iron carbonate produces a porous layer on the steel surface, reducing the diffusion of species toward the steel surface. If the precipitation rate is high, the porosity decreases and the mass transport becomes slower. Therefore, formation of protective layers on the steel surface reduces the corrosion rate. In this case, the corrosion processes are controlled with diffusion of species. The model was verified against published experimental data. The model can predict the thickness and the porosity of the film formed on the steel surface and also the corrosion rate of steel under deposited layer. The effects of some parameters such as Fe2+ concentration and temperature on film thickness and corrosion rate were investigated. The developed model is a solid approach for prediction of corrosion rate in conditions that precipitation of iron carbonate occurs on the steel surface.

Mild steel carbon dioxide corrosion modelling in aqueous solutions

A model for prediction of corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions containing carbon dioxide is proposed. In this model, formation of protective corrosion product is not yet considered, species concentration at the surface was calculated by using molecular diffusion phenomena and the diffusion equations were solved using the finite difference method. Calculated electrochemical currents at the steel surface may be used to determine the corrosion rate. The model was verified experimentally under atmospheric pressure and the effect of parameters, such as liquid velocity and pH, was investigated. The model can predict the electrochemical reaction rates when they were controlled by diffusion or charge transfer. The model can also predict the concentration profiles of species in mass transfer layer and it appears that it comprises a solid approach for corrosion rate prediction in such environments.

Mild steel corrosion modelling in presence of hydrogen sulphide in aqueous solutions

Corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions containing hydrogen sulphide was modelled under the condition that an iron sulphide film was formed on the steel surface. In the present model, the iron sulphide forms on the steel surface as a result of a solid state reaction between iron and hydrogen sulphide which has several steps. First a very thin film of iron sulphide nucleates on the steel surface. Then, due to further growth of the initial thin layer, a more porous layer of iron sulphide forms on the initial film. In the present model, it is assumed that mass transfer through the thin iron sulphide layer (i.e. adjacent to the steel substrate) controls the corrosion rate of steel in H2S aqueous solutions, and as a result electrochemical reactions were not considered. The model was verified against the published experimental data and effects of some parameters such as hydrogen sulphide partial pressure were investigated. The results show that increase in partial pressure of hydrogen sulphide leads to an increase in the corrosion rate of mild steel at the primary stages of the reaction, but as a consequence of formation of iron sulphide scales on the steel surface, it drops with respect to time.

Inhibitors with biocidal functionalities to mitigate corrosion on mild steel in natural aqueous environment

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by means of newly synthesised triazole phosphonates 3-Vanilidene amino 1,2,4-triazole phosphonate (VATP), 3-Anisalidene amino 1,2,4-triazole phosphonate (AATP) and 3-paranitro benzylidene amino 1,2,4-triazole phosphonate (PBATP) was studied along with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) in natural aqueous environment using weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarisation and ac impedance measurement.

The polarization data showed that FPTU acts as an efficient anodic inhibitor for mild steel in both acid solutions. Avery high inhibition efficiency was evidenced in both acid solutions and it was found to vary with the concentration of the inhibitor and temperature. The obtained kinetic parameters of adsorption revealed spontaneous adsorption and a strong interaction of FPTU with the mild steel surface. .
