The inhibitive action of alkali extract human hair extract (Bio waste) against the corrosion of mild steel (98.58%) in solutions of nitric acid has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At inhibitor concentration range (0.004 % v/ v to 0.1% v/v) in 0.3 M HNO3acid, the results showed that these compounds suppressed both cathodic and ano...

The objective of the work was to undertake a literature review on the subject of corrosion inhibition in the offshore oil and gas industry to understand the current issues. The application of chemical corrosion inhibitors can significantly reduce the rate of corrosion of carbon steel pipelines due to the presence of CO2 and/or H2S. An inhibited corrosion rate of 0.1 mm/year can typically be ach...

Abstract: Despite having a number of advantages, reinforced concrete can suffer rebar corrosion in high–chloride media, resulting in failure of reinforced concrete structures. In this research the corrosion inhibition capability of the mixture of calcium and ammonium nitrate of steel rebar corrosion was investigated in the simulated concrete pore solution. Cyclic polarization and Electroche...

2-(1-methyl-4-((E)-(2-methylbenzylidene)amino)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-ylidene)-hydrazineecarbothioamide (HCB) was synthesized as a corrosion inhibitor from the reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine, thiosemicarbazide and 2-methylbenzaldehyde. The corrosion inhibitory effects of HCB on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spe...

Selection of an appropriate corrosion inhibitor, inhibitor combination or package is an exceptionally cost effective and materials saving measure in various industries. Current trends and novel approaches in corrosion inhibitors are reviewed here. Recent developments in the inhibition technology are discussed in accordance with the areas of application of inhibitors.

BACKGROUND The majority of well-known inhibitors are organic compounds containing multiple bonds and heteroatoms, such as O, N or S, which allow adsorption onto the metal surface. These compounds can adsorb onto the metal surface and block active surface sites, reducing the rate of corrosion. RESULTS A comparative theoretical study of three benzimidazole isomers, benzimidazole (BI), 2-methylb...

The inhibition properties of synthesized imine compounds N,Nʹ-bis(2,4-dihydroxyhydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine, N, N′-bis(2,4-dihydroxypropiophenone)-2,2-dimethylpropandiimine, N,Nʹ-bis(2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone)-1,3-Propandiimine has been investigated for API-5L-X65 steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid by scanning electron microscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectrosc...

Abstract—Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in concrete industry to reduce the corrosion rate of steel rebar which is present in contact with aggressive environments. The present work aims to using Zamzam water from well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam as corrosion inhibitor for steel in rain water and simula...

Acid extract of Terminalia catappa (Tropical almond / badam) leaves is investigated as a cheap and eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1N HCl medium by weight loss, polarization, FTIR and scanning electron microscope studies. Studies carried out using various concentrations of inhibitor for different immersion times indicate Terminalia catappa to be a good mixed type corrosion in...

A recent advance in corrosion-resistance technology overcomes the problem of steel corrosion in CO2enriched environments. At an inhibitor concentration of 10 M, the inhibition efficiency exceeded 98% where the steel corrosion rate is decreased by a factor of at least 100.
