This paper studies the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) synthesized using an extract of Convolvulus arvensis leaf and expired ZnCl2, as efficient inhibitors of carbon steel corrosion in a 1 M HCl solution. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis. The corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1 M HCl was also investigated through potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the determination of weight loss. The results show that the efficiency of the prevention increased when the concentration of ZnO-NPs was increased to 91%, and that the inhibition efficiency was still high (more than 89%) despite decreasing at high temperatures, acting as a mixed-type inhibitor. A sample of carbon steel with a protective layer of inhibitor on top was observed during immersion in 1 M HCl for 20 h; an increase in the charge transfer resistance (Rct) and stability of the inhibitor could be observed after 6 h. Adsorption isotherm models demonstrated that the inhibitor adsorption mechanism on the carbon steel surface followed Langmuir rather than Freundlich and Temkin behaviors. The thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption process is one of mixed, spontaneous, and exothermic adsorption. The results illustrate that the ZnO-NPs were a strong inhibitor of carbon steel corrosion in acid medium. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the ZnO-NPs formed a good protective film on the carbon steel surface.

The corrosion protection efficacy of electrochemically synthesized poly(2-aminobenzenesulphonic acid) (P2ABSA) on carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Tafel polarisation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR spectral studies. The polymeric coating was prepared on the steel surface using cyclic voltammetry. Investigations established that P2ABSA effectively prevent the metal dissolution in HCl medium. Polarisation studies revealed that this polymer hinder both anodic and cathodic process of corrosion appreciably. The structures of the chemically and electrochemically synthesised polymers were compared using IR spectroscopy. Morphology of the steel surface confirmed the intact response of P2ABSA on steel surface treated with HCl.

The corrosion inhibition effect of some anionic surfactants (Diisononyl phthalate (A), N-oleyl-1, 3-propane –diamine (B), and Sodium lauryl sulphate (C)) on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1M hydrochloric acid solution were studied by chemical method (weight loss) and electrochemical methods (potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). From the results, it was clear that these surfactants are good inhibitors for corrosion of carbon steel in 1M HCl solution. Their inhibition depends mainly on their concentrations and temperature of solution. Polarization data revealed that these surfactants act as mixed type inhibitors. The surfactants adsorptions were found to follow Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters of activation and adsorption were calculated and discussed. Adsorption of used surfactants led to a reduction in the double layer capacitance (Cdl) and an increase in the charge transfer resistance (Rct). All measurements used confirmed the adsorption of the surfactants used on carbon steel surface. Confirmation of these various independent techniques proved validity of the obtained data.

This article investigates the modification of a carbon steel surface by benzotriazole (BTA), and the structure and properties of the formed layers. Adsorption was studied by surface analytical methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflecting infrared microscopy (FTIR). It has been established that a polymer-like film containing iron-azole complexes that are 2 nm thick and strongly bonded to the metal is formed on the surface as a result of the azole interacting with a steel surface. This film is capable to inhibit uniform and localized corrosion of steel in neutral aqueous electrolytes containing chloride ions. It is shown that the iron-azole layer located at the interface acts as a promotor of adhesion, increasing the interaction of polymeric coatings with the steel surface. Taking into account these properties, the steel pretreatments can be used for improving the anticorrosion properties of polymeric coatings applied for the protection of steel constructions.

Dodecylamine spontaneously adsorbs on carbon steel via its polar group (-NH2) in hydrochloric acid solution. Furthermore, it forms a monolayer film on carbon steel surface. The inhibition mechanism of dodecylamine for carbon steel is geometric blocking effect. The adsorption of dodecylamine on carbon steel surface follows Arrhenius equation. The adsorption slightly increases activated energy, but greatly reduces pre-exponential factor value. Atomic force microscopy force curves indicate that at the area without adsorbed dodecylamine, no obvious adhere force occurs. At the area with adsorbed dodecylamine, however, an average 1.3 nN adhere force is observed.

The use of biodiesel leads to corrosion of automotive material, which can potentially shorten engine lifetime. The study aims to investigate the effect of temperature and contact time on the corrosion characteristics of carbon steel upon exposure to biodiesel synthesized from used frying oil. The corrosion rate of carbon steel was analyzed based on weight loss measurement according to the standard of ASTM G31 as affected by temperature and contact time. The immersion temperatures used in this study were 30oC, 40oC, and 70o, respectively. The contact times studied were 30 days, 40 days, and 50 days respectively. The results show that the increase of temperature and contact time of biodiesel on carbon steel surface speeds up the corrosion rate. Maximum corrosion rate (0.083 mmy) was observed on the carbon steel contacted to biodiesel at 70oC for 50 days. The SEM results showed an irregular shape of the corroded carbon steel surface. XRD / FTIR analysis of carbon steel samples show the presence of peaks, detected as Fe2O3, FeO(OH) and Fe2O2CO3, as the corrosion products. Keywords: biodiesel; carbon steel; corrosion; FAME; used frying oil

Carbon steel is one of the most commonly used alloys in industrial applications due to its physicochemical properties and low cost. However, the use of this metal material may become limited due to its vulnerability to corrosion. Thus, it is necessary to use methods that inhibit corrosion. Organic compounds with heteroatoms possess the characteristic of inhibiting corrosion by forming a protective film. The corrosion protection of SAE 1020 carbon steel, promoted by the aqueous extract of Persea pyrifolia (PP) bark, was evaluated in this work at extract concentrations of 5% and 10% v/v, in order to replace an inhibitor of synthetic origin with an ecologically benign inhibitor. Plant extracts are generally inexpensive and can be obtained through simple extraction processes. The objective of this work was to study the use of PP peel extract as a carbon steel corrosion inhibitor (SAE 1020). The electrochemical response was determined by measurements including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and anodic potentiodynamic polarization (PPA) in a 0.5 M sodium chloride medium. The samples were characterized by optical microscopy to evaluate the type of corrosion.

Corrosion inhibitive performance of some thiophene derivatives during the acidic corrosion of carbon steel surface in 1 M HCl was investigated by chemical technique (weight loss) and electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The effect of temperature on the corrosion rate was investigated by the weight loss method, and some thermodynamic parameters for corrosion and adsorption processes were determined and discussed. The results show that the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in inhibitor concentration and temperature. The adsorption of thiophene derivatives on the carbon steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The obtained results indicated that the investigated compounds are chemically adsorbed on the steel surface. Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that these compounds are mixed-type inhibitors and the results obtained from the techniques are in good agreement.

The inhibitive performance of 2-[(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxdiazol-2-yl)methyl]-2H-benzo[b] [1,4] thiazin-3-one (POBT) for low carbon steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 has been evaluated by non-electrochrmical, and electrochemical measurements. Efficiency of the inhibitor enhanced with inhibitor concentration and declined with rise in temperature. 92.39% inhibition efficiency was attained using 0.1[Formula: see text]mM of POBT. Anticorrosive effect of the inhibitor is owing to the adsorption of POBT molecules on the metal surface. Mono layer adsorption of inhibitor was favored by observing the best fit with Langmuir isotherm. Polarization measurements reveal that the inhibitor behaves as mixed type. Surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) confirm the existence of a protective film of POBT on low carbon steel surface. Quantum chemical parameters obtained using density functional theory (DFT) method complements the above results.

The influence ofN-(l-morpholinobenzyl)urea (MBU) on corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl was studied by weight loss, effect of temperature, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with increasing of MBU concentrations but decreases with increasing temperatures. The adsorption of MBU on the mild steel surface obeyed the Temkin’s adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that MBU acted as a cathodic inhibitor predominantly in hydrochloric acid. This was supported by the impedance measurements which showed a change in the charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance indicating adsorption of MBU on the mild steel surface. Protective film formation against the acid attack is confirmed by SEM.
