Establishment of equivalent circuits from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study of corrosion inhibition of steel by pyrazine in sulphuric acidic solution
“…A number of organic compounds are known to be applied as corrosion inhibitors for steel in acidic environments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Such compounds typically contain nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur in a conjugated system and function via adsorption of the molecules on the metal surface, creating a barrier to corrodent attack.…”
The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in H 2 SO 4 in the presence of methocarbamol was studied using thermometric and gasometric (hydrogen evolution) methods. The study revealed that the corrosion rate increases with temperature, time and concentration of H 2 SO 4 . Addition of methocarbamol to the corrodent solution lowered the corrosion rate of mild steel. Inhibition efficiency (%I) of methocarbamol was found to increase with concentration and decreased with temperature. Adsorption of methocarbamol molecule on mild steel surface was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The phenomenon of physical adsorption is proposed from the obtained thermodynamic parameters.

“…Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy was undertaken to identify the functional groups involved in the adsorption of VA constituents on the mild steel surface .The spectra of VA powder (1) and that of the surface scrapings removed from the mild steel surface after 24h immersion in 1 M HCl (2) and 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 (3) containing 1500 mg/L VA were recorded and the results are presented in Fig.9. The multiplicity of peaks observed for VA powder shows that the extract contained a complex mixture of constituents.…”

The corrosion protection of mild steel in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H solutions by ethanol extract of Vernonia amygdalina (VA) was studied using a combination of experimental and computational methods. The obtained results revealed that VA reduced the corrosion of mild steel in both environments and inhibition efficiency increased with VA concentration but decreased with prolonged exposure. Electrochemical results showed that the extract functioned via mixed corrosion inhibiting mechanism by adsorption of some organic constituents of the extract on the metal/acid interface. Findings from infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy all confirmed that VA retarded mild steel corrosion in both 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 through an adsorption process. The adsorption behavior of selected constituents of the extract was modeled using density functional theory computations.
“…It is calculated from the relation [29] where R t is the charge transfer resistance in the case of steel immersed in corrosive solution, and R t ′ in the presence of oil inhibitor. The analysis of Table 5 let us conclude that the addition of L. stoechas oil enhances the values of R t and reduces the C dl values.…”
“…The physical or chemical nature of adsorption depends on several parameters, such as the nature of the metal and its charge, the chemical structure of organic molecules as well as the type of the electrolyte. The surface coverage (θ) for different concentrations of L. stoechas oil in acid medium is evaluated by adopting gravimetry as study methods, we can write [4,27,29] (6)…”
The current study was designed to give more knowledge and helping to exploit the leaves of the plants L. stoechas collected in Tlemcen region in the west of Algeria by determining the anti-corrosive activity of its essential oil. The inhibitory efficiency of the essential oil of the plant obtained by hydrodistillation and characterized by GC and GC/MS was studied using gravimetric and electrochemical methods (polarization curves and electrochemical impedance). The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of the steel and the inhibitory efficiency was studied in a temperature range of 303-323 K at 2 g/L. The surface morphology of the samples immersed in 1 M HCl for 24 h, before and after adding inhibitor at (2 g/L at 30 °C) was analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) Quanta 250 with tungsten filament from the company FEI. Results show that the addition of the essential oil of the plant to the medium induces a diminish in the rate of corrosion and augmentation in the inhibitory efficiency of the oil. We established that the inhibition efficiency increase with concentration of the essential oil of lavender to attain 76.19% at 2 g/L. Polarization curves revealed that lavender oil react as a mixed-type inhibitor. EIS spectra exhibit one capacitive loop and confirm the inhibitive ability, and the changes in impedance parameters were indicative of adsorption of essential oil of lavender on the metal surface. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of the molecules of the oil takes place according to the Langmuir isotherm in the corrosive medium studied and that they are physisorbed on the metal surface. The analysis of the surface by electron microscopy demonstrates the absence of surface attack patterns in the presence of the oil. The results obtained from different tested techniques were in good agreement.
