A Characteristic Investigation of Aminocyclohexane‐N′‐methylurea as a Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 1 N H₂SO₄

Abstract

The newly synthesized aminocyclohexane-N′-methylurea Mannich base was characterised using FT-IR, H1NMR, and C13NMR spectra and also it was tested as corrosion inhibitor for the mild steel in 1 N sulphuric acid. Inhibitive study of this compound was carried out by weight loss method over the temperature range of 303–333 K, potentiodynamic polarisation, and AC impedance methods. The inhibition efficiency was increased with increasing concentration of inhibitor whereas it was decreased with increasing temperature. Potentiodynamic polarisation study showed that ACMU is a mixed type inhibitor. AC Impedance study reveals that the corrosion of steel was mainly controlled by a charge transfer process. Surface analysis was carried out using SEM technique. The adsorption of inhibitor follows the Tempkin and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The activation energy(Ea), free energy change (ΔGads), enthalpy change (ΔHads) and entropy change (ΔSads) were calculated to understand the corrosion inhibition mechanism.

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) complexes of Cyclohexylamine-N-methyl Mannich base ligands

“…Three Mannich bases were prepared by the reaction of cyclohexylamine, formaldehyde and urea; cyclohexylamine, formaldehyde and acetone; cyclohexylamine, formaldehyde and °a cetamide at 25 Cas described by Thiraviyam et al, 2013. Equimolar quantities of cyclohexylamine (23.16 3 3 cm , 0.20 moles), formaldehyde (24.56 cm , 0.20moles) and urea (12.01 g, 0.20moles); acetamide (11.82 g, 0.20 moles); acetone (14.88 g, 0.20 moles) were mixed in water and stirred vigorously for about three hours. The product precipitated out as a white solid, which was filtered and washed with ethanol.…”
