The corrosion inhibition potential and efficacy of 2-hydropyrimidine-2-thione derivative on mildsteel in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution was investigated using electrochemical polarization and FTIRspectroscopic techniques. In addition, docking studies were carried out as theoretical investigationof adsorption inhibitor on iron surface. The results of polarization studies indicate...

In this paper, the effect of penicillin G benzathine (PGB) drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The inhibition efficiency (IE) was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. Potentiodynamic polarization measure...

This paper describes an experimental study on calcium sulphate scaling and prevention by newly treated polyacrylamide in a laboratory model. In order to study the inhibiting capacity of the chemical used, experiments were performed in solutions involving treatment of synthetic sea water with different concentrations of the polymer. Polyacrylamide gave significantly lower precipitation rate comp...

The contribution of bacteria to the corrosion mass loss and to pitting of mild steel was observed over 2.5 years using parallel streams of unpolluted natural (biotic) and nominally sterilized (abiotic) Pacific Ocean coastal seawater. As also observed by others, in artificial laboratory exposures, corrosion mass loss within the first few days of exposure was much greater in the biotic stream. Ho...

The inhibition effect of Vernonia amygdalina (bitter leaf) extract on the corrosion behaviour of embedded mild steel rebar in concrete has been investigated by electrochemical potential measurement, pH and gravimetric (weight loss) methods. The results were further analysed using the two-factor ANOVA test. The experiments were performed using bitter leaf extract as a green inhibitor in 3.5% sod...

Effectiveness of furfural as an organic inhibitor in 5 percent hydrochloric acid which is used in acid pickling of steel was evaluated. Lungmuir, Frumkin and Flory-Huggins isotherms [1, 2] were used to determine the parameters of effective adsorption, free energy and entropy of adsorption. Furfural indicated an inhibition less than 17 percent in concentrations of 0.001 mole per liter for a dura...

The corrosion mitigation efficiency of biotin drug for mild steel in 15% hydrochloric acid was thoroughly investigated by weight loss and electrochemical methods. The surface morphology was studied by the contact angle, scanning electrochemical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods. Quantum chemical calculation and Fukui analysis were done to correlate the...

The inhibition effect of N-benzyl-N′-phenyl thiourea (BPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.01 and 0.05 N HCl medium has been investigated by potentiostatic polarization technique. Results obtained reveal that BPTU is an efficient anodic inhibitor with greater than 94% of efficiency in the range of temperature studied. The adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface obeys the Temkins’...

Corrosion inhibitory impacts of turmeric with concentrations of 200-800 ppm on the electrochemical behavior of mild steel were studied in the medium of NaCl 3.5% using several techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for analyzing the surface of mild steel after 24 hours of immersion in the electrolyte solution...
