Two different types of alkaloids are successfully extracted from two plants Artemisia vulgaris (AV) and Solanum tuberosum (ST) in the laboratory and used as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel samples. The corrosion inhibition potential of these alkaloids is determined by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization measurement methods. Based on the weight loss measurement study of a sample immersed for 6 h in 1000 ppm inhibitor solution of AV and ST alkaloids, the corrosion inhibition efficiency is found to be 92.58% and 90.79%, respectively. The potentiodynamic polarization measurement shows 88.06% and 83.22% corrosion inhibition efficiency for AV and ST alkaloids, respectively, for the sample immersed for 1 h in 1000 ppm inhibitor solution. These promising efficiency and suitable immersion time effect can lead to the development of good green inhibitors.
Alkaloids as green inhibitors were extracted from three different plants Rhynchostylis retusa, Artimesia vulgaris,and Solanum tuberosum. Weight loss measurement in mild steel has been carried out in the presence and absence of green inhibitors individually in an acidic medium. Weight loss measurements at different temperatures are used to calculate thermodynamic parameters. The weight loss measurements at different concentrations are used to find adsorption isotherm and found that it obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm with R2 values 1, 1, 0.996 for three inhibitors. Activation energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the three inhibitors have been calculated. It is found that the value of all these parameters increased in the addition of inhibitors. The free energy of the system is calculated and found (-17.46 kJ mol-1) indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous and there is physical adsorption at the MS-Inhibitor interface.
Schiff base ligand containing nitrogen and sulphur show broad biological activity 1-10 due its different ways in which they are bonded to metal ions. The Schiff base ligands are vital tool for the chemist as there are several biocidal and industrial applications. Metal complexes of nitrogen and sulphur containing ligand have attracted considerable attraction because nitrogen and sulphur play key role in many metallic bio
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
