Alkaloid of Rhynchostylis retusa as Green Inhibitor for Mild Steel Corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 Solution

Alkaloids are aromatic hydrocarbons with nitrogen as heteroelements in the ring structure that are responsible for bonding with the metal surface and help to reduce corrosion of metals such as mild steel (MS) in an acidic medium. In this study, the alkaloid of Rhynchostylis retusa (RR) was extracted by solvent extraction method and confirmed by chemical test as well as FTIR spectroscopic test. Extracted alkaloids were tested as green inhibitors for the MS corrosion in a 1.0 M H2SO4 solution. The inhibition efficiency (IE) of alkaloid extracts of RR was studied by the weight loss measurement method and electrochemical polarization method. Results showed that the maximum IE in the gravimetric method was 87.51% in 1000 ppm solution at 6 h immersion time. Open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization results indicated that the extracted alkaloids acted as a mixed type of inhibitor. IE by polarization method was found to be 93.24% for the sample immersed for 6 h. The temperature effect study reveals that inhibitors can work only below 35 °C. Alkaloids of RR can be successfully extracted and used as corrosion inhibitors for MS in an acidic medium below 35 °C.

Effect of 3-Nitroacetophenone on Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Acidic Medium

Acetophenone derivatives are eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors to prevent corrosion of mild steel (MS) in acidic medium. In this work, the inhibition effect of 3-nitroacetophenone (3-NA) on the corrosion of MS in acidic medium (1 N HCl) was investigated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry analysis. The studies were performed using different concentrations of inhibitors and at different temperatures. The results indicated that the inhibition efficiency of 3-NA increases with an increase in inhibitor concentration and reaches to a maximum of 64% at inhibitor concentration of 250 ppm at 30°C. The potentiodynamic polarization measurement indicated that 3-NA acts as mixed category of interdict. The adsorption of 3-NA on MS surface followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The mode of adsorption of 3-NA on MS surface was further studied by quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The results plainly revealed that 3-NA performs fairly as corrosion interdict for MS in acidic medium.

Acid corrosion inhibition of ferrous and non-ferrous metal by nature friendly Ethoxycarbonylmethyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide (ECMTPB): Experimental and MD simulation evaluation

Electrochemical techniques, using galvanostatic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as experimental; Quantum Chemical (QC) calculation and Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as theoretical methods and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) as surface morphological studies have been accomplished to evaluate the corrosive inhibitive property of Ethoxycarbonylmethyl Triphenylphosphonium Bromide (ECMTPB) for Mild Steel (MS) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and Aluminium (Al) in 0.5 M HCl solutions, respectively. The protective rate of both the materials increased with increase in the concentration of 10−5 M to 10−2 M of ECMTPB as well as with room temperature. The Nyquist plot of impedance expressed mainly as a depressed capacitive loop with different concentrations. The mechanism of inhibition of corrosion of MS and Al in acidic medium follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm and inhibitor is being chemisorbed predominantly on the metal surface. The images found from Surface Morphological Studies Viz., SEM with EDX supplements the results obtained from the experimental and theoretical studies. The properties of single ECMTPB molecule from QM and the interaction energies between inhibitor and metals from classical simulations indicate the possible mechanism of preventing corrosion of inhibitor.

The adsorption of Syzygium aromaticum extract on the surface of MS has been analyzed by utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study and spectroscopic strategies.

Anti-corrosion performance of eco-friendly inhibitor (2-aminobenzyl) triphenylphosphonium bromide ionic liquid on mild steel in 0.5 M sulfuric acid

The inhibition efficiency (IEinh %) of the (2-aminobenzyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (ABTPPB) environmental friendly inhibitor on mild steel (MS) corrosion in 0.5M H2SO4 solution at concentrations (10−5 to 10−2M) and temperatures (298 to 328K) have been achieved using potentiostatic polarization (PP), galvanostatic polarization (GP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface characterized via the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results confirmed that ABTPPB was a potent inhibitor for MS in corrosive medium with the IEinh (%) adequate to 99% in 10−2M. EIS outcomes revealed the enlarged capacitive loop in the attendance of mitigator in comparison to that of the merely acid specifies a high degree of mitigation efficiency. The definite correlation between the experimental results and isotherm utility was achieved using Langmuir Adsorption (LA) isotherm, and the inhibitor is being chemisorbed predominantly on the MS surface. Both SEM-EDX and AFM analyses sustained the formation of protective layers of the ABTPPB molecules on the sample surface. Quantum chemical (QC) calculations were employed for computational calculations, and the acquired results were instigated to be reliable with the experimental findings.
