Corrosion Inhibition Effect of Carbon Steel in Sea Water by L-Arginine-Zn²⁺System

Abstract

The inhibition efficiency of L-Arginine-Zn 2+ system in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in sea water has been evaluated by the weight-loss method. The formulation consisting of 250 ppm of L-Arginine and 25 ppm of Zn 2+ has 91% IE. A synergistic effect exists between L-Arginine and Zn 2+ . Polarization study reveals that the L-Arginine-Zn 2+ system functions as an anodic inhibitor and the formulation controls the anodic reaction predominantly. AC impedance spectra reveal that protective film is formed on the metal surface. Cyclic voltammetry study reveals that the protective film is more compact and stable even in a 3.5% NaCl environment. The nature of the protective film on a metal surface has been analyzed by FTIR, SEM, and AFM analysis.

Unravelling the nature of citric acid:l-arginine:water mixtures: the bifunctional role of water

“…The functional groups of pure citric acid and L-arginine were identified, and the respective stretching and bending vibrations were assigned as summarized in Tables S11 [51][52][53][54][55] and S12 51,[56][57][58] . The most important changes in the vibrations of the mixtures from Table 2 in comparison to the pure components are represented in the spectra of Figure 9.…”

Poly Acrylic-Chitosan Co-Polymer as Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 0.5 M Hydrochloric Acid Solutions

“…A plot of C/θ Vs C gives a straight line with slope = 1/Kads and intercept = C this was depicted in figure 16. The equilibrium constant of adsorption Kads is related to the standard Gibs free energy of adsorption ΔG 0 ads by (2) [24].…”

A review on application of marine algae as green corrosion inhibitors in acid medium

“…[ 4 ] Due to corrosion, about 25 % of property are damaged, [ 5 ] , including industrial machines, automobiles, pipeline systems, households, buildings, and railway bridges. [ 6 ] The cost is put at US$2.5 trillion. [ 5 ] Corrosion of steel in concrete results in thousands of dollars in economic losses and damage to concrete.…”
