Theoretical, chemical, and electrochemical studies of Equisetum arvense extract as an impactful inhibitor of steel corrosion in 2 M HCl electrolyte

Abstract

A new type of Equisetum arvense aerial part (EAAP) extract was ready to be tested as a corrosion inhibitor for steel-based parts in Multi-stage flash (MSF) segments while the segments were being acid cleaned. The EAAP extract was identified using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). When compared to the specimen exposed to blank solution, EAAP extract molecules covered about 97% of the carbon steel surface in 2 M HCl solution, and the corrosion rate was reduced to 0.58 ± 0.02 μg cm−2 h−1 at 300 mg l−1. EAAP extract tends to have a blended impact on both anodic and cathodic sites on the surface of carbon steel. The thermodynamic activation factors are substantially higher in the presence of extract solution than in the absent of extract, demonstrating that the carbon steel surface would corrode slowly in the presence of EAAP extract. Theoretical models were used to validate the adsorption of EAAP extract on steel surfaces.

Investigation of Dracocephalum extract based on bulk and nanometer size as green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in different corrosive media

“…The Langmuir isotherm is in good agreement with the experimental findings. The general form of the Langmuir isotherm model is shown in below equation [53][54][55][56][57] : where, θ , K ads , and C are the metal surface coverage, the equilibrium constant for the adsorption-desorption process, and the inhibitor concentration, respectively. As can be seen, when a graph is drawn between (C/θ), and C, a straight line (R 2 > 0.9) is formed for all samples, as shown in Fig.…”

An electrochemical, and surface studies of synthesized Gemini ionic liquid as corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in petroleum field

“…It is well known that ΔE gap values were associated with chemical hardness and softness parameters which related to chemical reactivity and stability of the molecules. The obtained data showed the inhibitor with higher chemical reactivity; therefore, it is more feasible to bind effectively on CS surface 55 . Fraction of electron transfer (∆N) parameter displays the efficiency of electron donor-acceptor interaction phenomena.…”

“…On the other hand, the stability of Fe inhibitor complex and the chemical reactivity of any organic inhibitor could be obtained from ΔE values. Lower values of ΔE gap give a higher tendency to remove electron from HOMO, enhancing adsorption probability on the metallic surface 55 . The E gap values calculated from the energy difference between E HOMO and E LUMO are shown in Table 8 and Fig.…”

Unraveling the corrosion inhibition behavior of prinivil drug on mild steel in 1M HCl corrosive solution: insights from density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and experimental approaches

“…Frontiers in Chemistry frontiersin.org 16 Thakur et al 10.3389/fchem.2024.1403118 4 Adsorption mechanism Prinivil, a potent corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in a corrosive environment, operates through a sophisticated adsorption mechanism comprising physisorption and chemisorption processes as depicted in Supplementary Figure S7. Initially when introduced into the acidic medium, prinivil molecules adhere to the metal surface primarily through weak intermolecular forces like dipole-dipole interactions and van der Waals, characteristic of physisorption (Deyab et al, 2022;Ikeuba et al, 2022). While this initial layer offers some degree of protection against corrosion, its stability and longevity may be limited, especially in harsh and corrosive environments.…”
