Corrosion of a material by reaction with a corrosive environment is a common problem across many industries. Iraq is an oil country and corrosion represents a large portion of the total costs for oil producing and a natural potential hazard associated with oil production and transportation. The synthesis of novel thiosemicarbazone, namely 2-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide (DMBHC), was conducted and the chemical structure was elucidated via the 1H and 13C NMR (Nuclear magnetic resonance), and FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopic spectroscopic techniques in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen analyses (CHN analyses). The inhibition properties of the investigated thiosemicarbazone were evaluated for mild steel (MS) corrosion in 1N H2SO4 using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), weight loss method, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical and weight loss techniques revealed that the tested thiosemicarbazone acted as a superior inhibitor for the acidic corrosion of MS and the efficiency increased with increasing concentrations. The EIS results revealed that thiosemicarbazone demonstrated the highest inhibition efficiency of 94.86%, at a concentration of 0.5 mM. Results from the weight loss technique suggested that the thiosemicarbazone acted as a mixed type corrosion inhibitor. The impact of temperature on the mechanism of inhibition of the new synthesized inhibitor of the surface of MS in 1N H2SO4 was investigated at various temperatures (30–60 °C) where the inhibitive efficiency diminished with increasing temperatures. The mechanism of inhibition was additionally verified with the methodological data.
The inhibition effect of synthesized corrosion inhibitor namely 5,5′-(1,4-phenylene)bis([Formula: see text]-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine) (PBPA) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1-M hydrochloric acid environment are examined by gravimetric techniques at various temperature (303–343 K). The synthesized inhibitor concentrations are 0.1–0.5[Formula: see text]mM. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of the inhibitor concentration. The inhibition efficiency reached 94% at the highest studied concentration of 0.5[Formula: see text]mM for 5[Formula: see text]h of immersion time and 303[Formula: see text]K. Moreover, the inhibition efficiency decreased with the temperature increase. The adsorption of tested inhibitor molecules on the surface of mild steel follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The studied inhibitor molecules showed excellent inhibition since PBPA molecules have nitrogen and sulfur atoms in addition to phenyl and thiadiazol rings which were linked together in conjugation system.
The corrosion inhibition features of a new eco-friendly coumarin derivative, namely, 4-((4-((4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl)coumarin (HATC), for corrosion of the mild steel surface in an acidic environment was studied using gravimetric techniques and quantum chemical calculations. It was concluded that the tested coumarin derivative is an excellent corrosion inhibitor with high inhibition efficiency. The inhibition performance increases with increasing concentration of the investigated coumarin (HATC) and decreases with increasing temperature. The mechanism of adsorption includes a physical adsorption mechanism. Theoretical studies done on the new coumarin molecule using the density functional theory (DFT) have shown that the most likely entities in coumarin molecules to bond to the metal surface are nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms.
