Three organic molecules having benzimidazole were synthesized and used for protection of carbon steel (X56) from corrosion in 1.00 M HCl. They showed a maximum protective efficiency range between 95% and 98% indicating high corrosion inhibition.
The present work was effective in combining equimolar 4aminoacetophene with leucine amino acid in the synthesis of a new corrosion inhibitor (S2). 1H N.M.R., 13C N.M.R., C.H.N., and FTIR techniques proved its structure. At 298.15 K, 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution was measured to affect the S2 inhibitor on the CS (X56) electrode. S2 has been verified as a suitable inhibitor and as a mixed interference to control both anodic and the cathodic response to delayed corrosion by blocking the active sites in the surface electrode by the results of electrochemical measurements as open circuit potential and Tafel scan. These observations were accompanied by FE-SEM images and mapping spectrums that showed a transparent surface protective layer.
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.
