Eco friendly green inhibitor Gum Arabic (GA) for the corrosion control of mild steel in hydrochloric acid medium

A new series of N‐alkyl‐N,N‐dimethyl‐N‐(3‐thienylmethylene)ammonium bromides (designated as NTA‐n, n = 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16) were synthesized. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization showed that NTA‐n could protect availably X70 steel from attack of HCl with an inhibition efficiency of about 95%. And the inhibition ability follows the following sequence: NTA‐8 < NTA‐10 < NTA‐12 < NTA‐14 < NTA‐16, suggesting that prolonging alkyl chain may enhance the inhibition capacity of the molecules. Theoretical investigation backs up well the experiment results. The correlation of theoretical calculation with the experiment results illustrated clearly double logarithmic relations between the corrosion current and the computed quantum chemical parameters such as the highest occupied molecular orbital energy ( E HOMO), energy gap (ΔE), molecular volume ( ν), electronegativity ( χ), the total energy of iron crystal with the adsorbed inhibitor molecule ( E total), the interaction energy of Fe (1 0 0) surface and inhibitor molecules ( E inhibitor), while an equation resembling Hammet relation was existed between the corrosion currents and the fraction of electrons transfer (ΔN). These linear correlations suggest the relation of the inhibitor structure with its inhibition activity: long alkyl chain and electron donating groups in NTA‐n will enhance the corrosion efficiency.

“…Δ E is separation energy. Generally, smaller value of Δ E relates to higher chemical reactivity and higher inhibition efficiency of the molecule . So higher

“…Usage of nonedible source of plants is becoming a priority to researchers compared to edible plants. Edible plant extracts, such as olive leaves, arecanut seeds, sunflower seed, and Arabic gum, have shown inhibitory properties towards corrosion . However, extensive use of edible plants may cause other concerning issues, such as starvation and food shortage.…”

et al. 2019

A comparison study in terms of inhibition performance between oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) extract and OPEFB powder against mild steel corrosion in 1 M hydrochloric acid was evaluated using weight loss technique and adsorption isotherms. OPEFB extract and powder were prepared at various concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0% (v/v) and dosages of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 g, respectively. The results showed that OPEFB extract achieved higher inhibition efficiency (IE) at high concentration and short immersion time compared to OPEFB powder. Despite having lower IE, OPEFB powder seemed to have better behavior; 6.6% IE increment at longer immersion time, gradual release of active compounds and stronger adsorption capacity. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and energy-dispersive X-ray studies confirmed the presence of active compounds in OPEFB extract and powder that is responsible for inhibition. Thermodynamic study revealed that both OPEFB extract and powder obeyed Langmuir isotherm and worked through physical adsorption.Overall, OPEFB powder is concluded to have better performance as corrosion inhibitor compared with OPEFB extract.

“…Recent research into inhibitors has been characterized by research activities focused mainly on green chemicals. For instance, substances of natural origin such as gum arabic, pectin, guar gum, and argan oil have been reported as the corrosion inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in acid medium . Solomon et al and Oukhrib et al have also reported the effect of chitosan on St37 steel and copper in a 15% H 2 SO 4 environment and 3.5% NaCl media.…”

Synergistic inhibition effect of N‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl)‐7H‐purin‐6‐amine and iodide ion for mild steel corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl

Zhang

Wang

et al. 2019

The synergistic inhibition effect of N‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl)‐7H‐purin‐6‐amine (FYPA) and iodide ion on mild steel corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl was investigated using weight‐loss tests, electrochemical techniques, and surface analysis. The experiments revealed that the FYPA + KI mixture was a temperature‐dependent inhibitor, which strongly inhibited the corrosion of mild steel compared with FYPA. Based on electrochemical results, FYPA and FYPA + KI behaved as mixed‐type inhibitors, and their inhibition efficiencies were 73.66% and 96.01%, respectively. The calculated synergistic parameter value was larger than unity, illustrating that enhancement of inhibition in the presence of KI could be a result of synergistic action. Surface analysis techniques (scanning electron microscope/scanning electrochemical microscope) confirmed the presence of additives on the studied mild steel surface. A plausible mechanism of corrosion inhibition was proposed.
