Carob seed oil: an efficient inhibitor of C38 steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid

Abstract

Background The carob seed oil (CO) was tested as inhibitor of the corrosion of C38 steel in 1 M HCl by weight loss and electrochemical measurements. The extract was found to inhibit the corrosion of C38 steel in 1 M HCl. Results The results of the study reveal that the inhibition efficiency of CO depends on its concentration and attains approximately 86.7% at 0.5 g/L. Polarization curves reveal that CO is a mixed-type inhibitor. Changes in impedance parameters (charge transfer resistance, R t, and double-layer capacitance, C dl) were indicative of CO adsorption on the metal surface, leading to the formation of a protective film. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior with the addition of 0.5 g/L of carob seed oil was studied in the temperature range of 298 to 328 K. Conclusions Results show that the inhibition efficiency of the plant extract increases with increasing temperature, and the adsorption of the latter on the C38 steel surface is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Some thermodynamic functions of dissolution processes were also determined.

Electrochemical Studies on the Corrosion Behaviour of Laser Alloyed Zn-Sn Coatings on UNS G10150 Steel in 1M HCl Solution

“…On the other hand, Gad allah et al [31] pointed out that iron dissolution in HCl solution depends on the H + ion more than the Cl − ion. The corrosion rate of mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution involves hydrogen evolution reaction at the cathodic area and iron dissolution reaction at the anodic area as reported by Ben Hmamou et al [32]. The following mechanism for the corrosion of iron and steel in acid solution has been proposed [33][34][35].…”

Influence of Roasting on Sensory, Antioxidant, Aromas, and Physicochemical Properties of Carob Pod Powder (Ceratonia siliquaL.)

“…Carob has been used for over 4000 years as feed and food, especially in times of food shortage, mainly due to its sugary pulp [11][12][13]. Carob kibbles are traditionally used to make a boiled juice product, named "pekmez," which is mainly consumed in Turkey [14][15][16][17]. About 8 percent of the high cholesterol sufferers know and use carob in Turkey.…”

Shatavari (Asparagus Racemosus) as green corrosion inhibitor of aluminium in acidic medium

“…Figure 1 gives the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Slope of C/Ɵ vs. C gives a straight line with slope almost equal to 1 suggesting the adsorption of inhibitor on aluminium surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm [21]. …”
