Ketosulfone has been evaluated as a green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl medium by chemical and electrochemical methods. The effect of Ketosulfone on the corrosion rate was determined at various concentrations and temperature. Polarization measurements reveal that Ketosulfone acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface in acid solution was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The activation and thermodynamic parameters of dissolution and adsorption were calculated and discussed. Quantum chemical calculations were calculated and discussed, and it supports the results. SEM images of inhibited strips reveal the likely formation of a protective film.

The corrosion inhibition study of 2-chloro 3-formyl quinoline was conducted for mild steel corrosion in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution at a temperature range of 303-333 K by chemical and electrochemical measurements. Inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration but decreases with increasing temperature. The polarization measurement reveals that the inhibitor acts as the mixed type and this inhibition effect is attributed to the adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of mild steel from the bulk of the solution. The adsorption of 2-chloro 3-formyl quinoline on mild steel surface is exothermic and obeys the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters and activation parameters were calculated and discussed in depth. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs were used to investigate the surface morphology of the steel sample in presence and absence of inhibitor.

Three new thiazole based pyridine derivatives 5-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-thiazole-2-carboxylic acid pyridin-2-ylmethylene-hydrazide (2-MTPH), 5-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-thiazole-2-carboxylic acid pyridin-3-ylmethylene-hydrazide (3-MTPH), and 5-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-thiazole-2-carboxylic acid pyridin-4-ylmethylene-hydrazide (4-MTPH) were synthesized and characterized. Corrosion inhibition performance of the prepared compounds on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl was studied using gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarisation, and electrochemical impedance techniques. Inhibition efficiency has direct relation with concentration and inverse relation with temperature. Thermodynamic parameters for dissolution and adsorption process were evaluated. Polarisation study reveals that compounds act as both anodic and cathodic inhibitors with emphasis on the former. Impedance study shows that decrease in charge transfer resistance is responsible for effective protection of steel surface by inhibitors. The film formed on the mild steel was investigated using FTIR, SEM, and EDX spectroscopy. Quantum chemical parameters likeEHOMO,ELUMO,ΔE, hardness, softness, and ionisation potential were calculated. Higher value ofEHOMOand lower value ofΔEindicate the better inhibition efficiency of the compounds. Lower ionisation potential of inhibitors indicates higher reactivity and lower chemical stability.
