The effects of radish leaves and black cumin as plant extracts on the corrosion behavior of low-carbon steel in industrial water in the temperature range of 30 to 80°C and velocity range of 1.44 to 2.02 m s 21 using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and mass loss measurements have been investigated. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of the plant extracts up to a critical value but it slightly decreased with increasing temperature. Inhibition efficiency values obtained from mass loss and potentiodynamic data were in reasonable agreement. Potentiodynamic polarization clearly indicated that radish leaves and black cumin extracts acted as anodic inhibitors. The adsorption behavior was found to obey the Flory-Huggins isotherm model. The associated activation parameters and thermodynamic data of adsorption were evaluated and discussed. The results show that radish leaves and black cumin could serve as effective inhibitors for low-carbon steel in industrial water media, with black cumin providing better protection than radish leaves.
This work was carried out to study the inhibition mechanism of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) such as 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole (2-HBTA) on the corrosion of low carbon steel in industrial water by using polarization and mass loss measurement. It was found that 2-HBTA revealed good performance as inhibitor for low carbon steel corrosion in industrial water. After some time, the performance decreased due to the volatility of these kinds of inhibitors away from the open system unlike the closed system. The experimental data indicated that the inhibitive performance of 2-HBTA for low carbon steel was improved with increasing of concentration up to the critical concentration (4.24×10 −3 M). The adsorption behavior of 2-HBTA was found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption process and activation energy were obtained from polarization technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to characterize the film formed on the surface. Box-Wilson statistical method was employed to correlate the results obtained, and the optimization of fluid velocity, temperature and concentration of inhibitor by using Box-Wilson statistical method was evaluated.
ABSTRACT. The corrosion inhibition of imatinib mesylate (IMT) on mild steel in 0.25 M sulphuric acid has been studied using gravimetric and potentiodynamic polarization techniques at various concentrations of inhibitor, temperature and fluid velocities. The results obtained showed that, inhibition efficiency (% IE) increases with increasing concentration of the inhibitor. The adsorption process on mild steel surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of Gibbs free energies of adsorption obtained suggest that, the adsorption process of IMT on mild steel is chemisorption. Thermodynamic parameters were evaluated and discussed. The electron orbital density distribution of HOMO and LUMO of IMT was used to discuss the inhibition mechanism. FT-IR spectroscopy and SEM images were used to analyze the surface adsorbed film.
