Inhibition of Acid Corrosion of Steel by Some S-Alkylisothiouronium Iodides

Abstract

Five selected S-alkylisothisothiouronium iodides have been studied as acid corrosion inhibitors at 30°C for steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 using gasometry, mass loss, and direct current (DC) polarization techniques. All of the data reveal that the compounds act as inhibitors in the acid environments; furthermore, polarization curves show that the compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors. It was found that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of the length of the additive alkyl chain. Langmuir's adsorption isotherms fit the experimental data for the studied compounds. Thermodynamic parameters were obtained from experimental data of the temperature studies of the inhibition process at five temperatures ranging from 30 to 70°C. It was observed that the activation energy is slightly increased with the increase of the additive alkyl chain. On the other hand, the sudden large increase of the inhibition behavior of Shexylisothiouronium iodide was attributed to a different adsorption process.

1-hydroxy Benzotriazole as Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in 1 mol/L Hydrochloric Acid Solution

“…Obviously, the E a with the presence of BTAOH is higher than that with the absence of BTAOH, which means the BTAOH molecules are physisorption on the mild steel surface. [39][40][41][42][43] Moreover, the adsorption enthalpy process (ÁH 0 ads ) was also estimated according to Eq. (6) 44,45 and the electrochemical parameters in Table 4.…”

Inhibition Effect of 1-Butyl-4-Methylpyridinium Tetrafluoroborate on the Corrosion of Copper in Phosphate Solutions

“…The most well-known acid inhibitors are organic compounds containing nitrogen, phosphor, sulfur, and oxygen atoms. The surfactant inhibitors have many advantages such as high inhibition efficiency (IE), low price, low toxicity, and easy production [3][4][5]. The interactions between the inhibitor molecules and the metal surfaces should by all means be explained and understood in detail.…”

Nano Analyses of Adsorbed Film onto Carbon Steel

“…The adsorption of a surfactant markedly changes the corrosion resisting property of a metal. For these reasons, studying the relation between adsorption and corrosion inhibition is significantly important [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Somewhat recently, the corresponding research has also demonstrated that quaternary ammonium salt surfactants are efficient corrosion inhibitors for iron and steel [24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
