The effect of Azadirachta indica leaf (AIL) extract on the corrosion of copper in 1M HNO3 was investigated by weight loss technique. The result showed that the corrosion rate decreased in the presence of plant extract and inhibition efficiency increased with increasing the concentration of extract. The decreased corrosion rate was due to adsorption of plant extract which was discussed on the basis of Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Extract of various plants; Okazi leaf (Gnetum africanum), Utazi leaf (Gongronema latifolium) and Elizabeth leaf (Chromolena odaratum) was investigated as corrosion inhibitor of stainless steel in 1M HCL and H2SO4 using conventional weight loss. Results were obtained at intervals of 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively. The corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency were calculated. The results revealed that all the plant extract act as inhibitors in the acid environments while Elizabeth leaf (Chromolena odaratum) proved to be better corrosion inhibitor than Okazi plant (Gnetumafricanum) and Utazi plant (Gongronemalatifolium) extract as it recorded the highest inhibition efficiency of 90.95% in 1M HCL for 20 ml concentration.

The corrosion inhibition effectiveness of Aizoon canariense for carbon steel (CS) in 2 M HCl (the corrosive medium) has been examined by employing chemical and electrochemical methods. The inhibition efficiency was found to improve with a rise in the environment's extract and temperature concentration. The inhibitive effect of this extract was explained on the basis of adsorption on the metal surface; the adsorption effect follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The percent inhibition efficiency (IE%) reached 90.23% at 45oC, and activation energy (E*a) has been determined in the presence and absence of Aizoon canariense extract. The corrosion rate was calculated and revealed that Aizoon canariense has a good inhibition effect on CS. The surface morphology of CS was examined by employing various techniques. The polarization results indicated that this extract acts as a mixed kind inhibitor. The parameters for the corrosion procedure have also been determined and discussed.

Artichoke extract (AE) was studied as the corrosion inhibitor for zinc in 1 M HCl utilizing chemical and electrochemical methods. The adsorption isotherm of Artichoke extract on Zn surface accords with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency increases with increasing the extract's concentration and decreases with the rise in the medium's temperature. The inhibition efficiency reached a value of 93.2% at 300 ppm of extract. This extract may be forming a film and acts as a barrier, which minimizes the contact area between zinc surface and HCl solution. Artichoke extract acts as a mixed inhibitor in HCl solution. Thermodynamic parameters of activation and adsorption were determined and explained. The adsorption parameters also obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the sign of the free energy of adsorption showed a spontaneous process. The surface morphology of zinc metal was examined by employing various techniques. Also, the biological effect of the Artichoke extract was studied. Theoretical studies of quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations studies were carried out on the Artichoke extract compounds, and the results agree with the experimental one. The efficiencies marked from all employed techniques were in perfect correspondence, demonstrating the validity of these procedures.

The focus of this study is to synthesize a new calixarene derivative namely calix[6]arene (C21) and to test its performance as corrosion inhibitor of C38 steel in molar HCl at 308 K. Polarization and weight loss measurements were used. Weight loss tests show that C21 retards until to stop corrosion phenomenon at 5 × 10-5 M . C21 is an excellent inhibitor and its inhibition efficiency increases with its concentration to reach 100% since 5 × 10-5 M . Polarization curves revealed that C21 affects both cathodic and anodic domains by decreasing current densities and then it may be classified as a mixed type inhibitor. The calixarene tested is adsorbed on the surface according to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Free enthalpy of adsorption reveals that C21 acts from chemisorption onto the steel surface.

Steel corrosion inhibition in acidic and alkaline medium by ethanolic extract of Milletia pinnata is described in this study. The inhibitive behavior of the inhibitor is evaluated by weight loss measurements, adsorption isotherms, and thermochemical parameters. The inhibitor exhibited a maximum of 87% and 90.5% inhibition efficiency against steel corrosion in 0.5 M NaOH and 1.0 M H2SO4, respectively. The weight loss linearly fit to Langmuir adsorption isotherm with correlation coefficient value close to unity. The thermochemical parameters indicated for predominant physical adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the steel surface.

The inhibition efficiency of the novel synthesized corrosion inhibitor namely, 5,5’-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-mercapto-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole) (PBMMT) have been studied for mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid environment by using gravimetric techniques. PBMMT show high inhibition efficiency at 0.5 mM. The adsorption isotherm of the investigated inhibitor on the surface of mild steel obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The surface morphology was tested by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in the absence and presence of PBMMT as corrosion inhibitor. The results show that the mild steel surface in presence of PBMMT 0.5 mM was smooth and uncorroded in 1 M HCl solution. Quantum chemical calculations were quite fitted with the experimental findings.

Essential oil from Artemisia herba alba (Art) was hydrodistilled and tested as corrosion inhibitor of steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 using weight loss measurements and electrochemical polarization methods. Results gathered show that this natural oil reduced the corrosion rate by the cathodic action. Its inhibition efficiency attains the maximum (74%) at 1 g/L. The inhibition efficiency of Arm oil increases with the rise of temperature. The adsorption isotherm of natural product on the steel has been determined. A. herba alba essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and its chemical composition oil was investigated by capillary GC and GC/MS. The major components were chrysanthenone (30.6%) and camphor (24.4%).

The temperature effect of 4-ethyl-1-(4-oxo-4-phenylbutanoyl)thiosemicarbazide (EOPT) on the mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solution was studied by gravimetric techniques at temperatures varying from 303 to 333 K. The investigated inhibitor concentrations were started from 100 ppm and ended with 500 ppm. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of the concentration of the inhibitor and reached 96.1% with the concentration of 500 ppm at 303 K and decreased to 66.3% at 333 K. Moreover, the inhibition efficiencies decreased with the temperature increase for both acids. Using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm for the adsorption of this inhibitor on the mild steel surface was determined. EOPT was found to be an efficient corrosion inhibitor due to its structural molecules, which contain sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen, hetero atoms an addition to the aromatic ring.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inhibition effect of hydralazine hydrochloride as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1M HCl. The inhibition effect was studied at different temperatures, ranging from 303 to 333°K. Design/methodology/approach – The inhibition efficiency of hydralazine hydrochloride was analyzed using weight loss, Tafel polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and surface morphology methods. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 1M HCl was studied and discussed using an adsorption isotherm and activation parameters. Findings – Weight loss, polarization and impedance showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with an increase in the concentration of hydralazine hydrochloride for mild steel in 1M HCl. The inhibitive action may be attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the active sites of the metal surface by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization curves indicated that hydralazine hydrochloride acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on inhibited and uninhibited mild steel samples to characterize the surface. Thermodynamic parameter indicated that the adsorption of hydralazine hydrochloride is a spontaneous process and the adsorption occurs chemically. Originality/value – The inhibition effect of hydralazine hydrochloride for mild steel has been investigated at different temperatures, ranging from 303 to 333°K. Hydralazine hydrochloride was a good inhibitor at a higher temperature.
