The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by miconazole nitrate, an antifungal drug has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique, and weight loss methods. The experimental results suggested miconazole nitrate is a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid medium. The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The thermodynamic parameters were determined and discussed. The inhibition was assumed to occur via adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the surface of mild steel following Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl. Design/methodology/approach – A pharmaceutical drug acetyl G was investigated for its corrosion inhibition efficiency using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Findings – The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. Results from polarisation studies revealed mixed type of inhibition. Impedance studies, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform spectroscopy confirm the adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface. Research limitations/implications – The drug acetyl G has sulphur and nitrogen atoms which effectively block the corrosion of mild steel and is non-toxic and has good inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – This method provides an excellent, non-toxic and cost-effective material as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. Originality/value – Application of this drug as a corrosion inhibitor has not been reported yet in the literature. Replacing the organic inhibitors, this green inhibitor shows excellent inhibition efficiency. This is adsorbed excellently on the mild steel surface due to the presence of long chain and hetero atoms. Thus, the drug retards the corrosion reaction.

The formulation consisting of 100 ppm Thiourea, 25 ppm Zn2+ and 250 ppm of L-Phenylalanine has 95% corrosion inhibition efficiency with a synergistic effect among Thiourea, L-Phenylalanine and Zn2+ ions. Polarization study shows that this formulation as a mixed inhibitor. FTIR spectra exposed the presence of Fe2+-Thiourea, Fe2+-L-Phenylalanine complex and Zn(OH)2 in protective film. AFM study confirmed the metal surface smoothness following engrossed in the inhibitor and the presence of formed protective film on the metal surface.

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of an aqueous extract ofPiper NigrumL. in controlling corrosion of mild steel at pH 12 has been evaluated by weight loss method in the absence and presence of inhibitor in citric acid medium at different concentration. The result showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of these compounds was found to vary with the different concentration at two hour time interval at room temperature. Also, it was found that the corrosion inhibition behaviour ofPiper NigrumL. is greater in 2 N Citric acid than 1 N Citric acid medium. SoPiper NigrumL. can be used has a good inhibitor for preventing mild steel material which is used in many construction purpose.

The inhibition efficiency of acid extract of leaves ofCitrus aurantiifolia[CAL] plant on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl was investigated by weight loss measurements and electrochemical studies. The corrosion rate of mild steel and the inhibition efficiencies of the extract were calculated. The results obtained show that the extract could serve as an effective inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in HCl media. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the plant extract. The inhibitive action of plant extract is discussed on the basis of adsorption of stable complex at the mild steel surface. Theoretical fitting of different isotherms, Langmuir, Temkin, Freundlich, Frumkin, Flory-Huggins and the kinetic thermodynamic model, were tested to clarify the nature of adsorption. Polarisation curves revealed that this inhibitor act as a mixed type inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency of up to 97.91% can be obtained. The surface analysis study confirms the corrosion of mild steel and its inhibition by the inhibitor CAL.

AbstractThis research investigates the effect of Schiff base, namely, N'-[4-(dimethylamino) benzylidene]-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (SB) on the corrosion mitigation of mild steel (MS) in hydrochloric acid medium (HCl) using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) technique. The study highlights the effect of SB concentration, HCl concentration, and temperature on the corrosion current density (icorr) and inhibition efficiency (IE). The adsorption of SB onto the MS surface was justified with the support of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. The morphological behavior of the MS surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A blend of statistical study and interaction plots has been applied to obtain a thorough understanding of the corrosion parameters. Experimental results obtained by PDP measurements revealed that tested compounds had a good anti-corrosion capacity. The main and interaction effects of the parameters on the response were analyzed using Box-Behnken Design. An empirical model equation from experimental results elucidates the relationship among the variables. The optimized parameters for the maximum output were recognized. The maximum IE of 81.5 was predicted by RSM with temperature (A = 30 °C), HCl concentration (B = 0.5 M), and Inhibitor concentration (C = 0.0001 M). Using RSM, further analyses regarding individual and interaction effects between the variables can be more comprehensive. Few more parameters such as pH and time can be included in the future study.

The corrosion behavior of mild steel in carbonated drinks produced by Nigerian Breweries (Fanta, Sprite and Coke) was studied in the presence and absence of an eco-friendly inhibitor, Chrysophyllum albidum using Potentiodynamic polarization technique at 25 °C. Results showed that Chrysophyllum albidum reduced the current density (icorr), which in turn means that the corrosion rate was reduced significantly. The inhibition efficiency was found to be 93%, 78.6% and 87.5% for Fanta, Sprite and Coke respectively. The study also showed that Chrysophyllum albidum functioned as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor in the three environments studied and therefore presents it as a long-term inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel.

The polymer PGA composite was prepared by chemical oxidative method of polyethylene glycol, anthranilic acid with ammonium persulphate in oxalic acid medium. The resulted polymer was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The performance of the polymer polyglycol anthranilic acid composite (PGA) as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl has been studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic and impedance spectroscopy methods. The maximum IE was found to be 97%. Experimental results were fitted to Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Electrochemical studies confirmed the inhibitive nature of the PGA composite and also the mixed nature of the inhibitor. The polymer is found to be highly efficient non-toxic and environmentally safe.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl in the presence of Tecoma capensis flower extract was carried out by means of mass loss, potentiodynamic polarisation, and electrochemical impedance techniques. The inhibition efficiency varied with concentration of the inhibitor, immersion time, and temperature. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel surface obeys Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters reveal that the adsorption process is spontaneous. Electrochemical studies reflect that the inhibitor acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. Surface analytical techniques ascertain the inhibitive nature of the studied inhibitor.
