Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to study the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 2.5 M HCl solution by kiwi juice at different temperatures, inhibitor concentration and immersion times.

Design/methodology/approach

Box–Wilson experimental design is used for runs distribution and the corrosion rate values are evaluated by weight loss technique.

Findings

Corrosion rate increased with temperature according to Arrhenius equation, and the inhibitor adsorbed according to Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Second-order polynomial model is used for data fitting. The optimum conditions were estimated with maximum inhibitor efficiency of 96.1 per cent. Fourier transform infrared analysis showed that the peaks correspond to phenols, and quercitine is the main component. Microstructural, hardness and theoretical quantum studies are also performed.

Originality/value

This is one of the first steps in the direction of understanding the corrosion control problems from different views. Kinetics, surface morphology, optimization and mathematical views are taken in to account.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the corrosion inhibition of mild steel alloy in 2 M H3PO4 solution by the pomegranate peel extract as a friendly inhibitor was studied at various temperatures, inhibitor concentrations and immersion times.

Design/methodology/approach

A weight loss method was used to evaluate the corrosion rate. The experimental Taguchi design method was used for the distribution of experiments. The experimental design gave results which were impossible to show graphically. However, this problem was solved effectively with the aid of regression analysis.

Findings

Corrosion rate increased with temperature according to Arrhenius equation. It was found that the efficiency of inhibition was increased with an increase in the concentration of inhibitor and immersion time. However, this diminishes with increased temperature. According to Langmuir isotherm, the inhibitor was adsorbed physically on steel surface. The negative sign of estimated heat of adsorption suggests a stable spontaneous inhibition process. Combination of mathematical and statistical analysis was proposed to demonstrate the results of corrosion rate with high correlation coefficients. In addition, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer examinations confirmed that the organic inhibitor consists of phenolic components as main materials.

Originality/value

Using unconventional approach for evaluation of environmentally friendly inhibitor for corrosion of mild steel in phosphoric acid solution.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to investigate peach juice as a cheap, raw, green and non‐toxic anti‐corrosion material for mild steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid at different temperatures.

Design/methodology/approach

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution in the presence of peach juice at temperature range of 30‐60°C and concentration range of 5‐50 cm3/l was studied using weight loss and polarization techniques. The inhibition effect, adsorption characteristics, mathematical and electrochemical modeling of peach juice were addressed.

Findings

Results show that inhibition efficiency rose with the increase of inhibitor concentration and temperature up to 50°C, while at temperatures above 50°C the values of efficiency decreased. The inhibitor adsorbed physically on metal surface and followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Monolayer formed spontaneously on the metal surface. Maximum inhibition efficiency obtained was about 91 percent at 50°C in the 50 cm3/l inhibitor concentration.

Originality/value

This work is an attempt to find a new, safe to environment, non‐toxic corrosion inhibitor. Peach juice is a readily available material in Iraq and Middle East markets.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to develop eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors for aluminum in acidic media by evaluating the corrosion inhibition properties of corn leaf extract (CLE) using response surface methodology (RSM) and experiments.

Design/methodology/approach

The RSM was combined with experiments to evaluate the corrosion inhibition properties of CLE on aluminum in acid media.

Findings

The effectiveness of the inhibition increased with increasing inhibitor concentration and time but decreased with increasing temperature. The corrosion inhibition mechanism revealed the corrosion process is spontaneous exothermic physical adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters revealed an activation energy between 32.1 and 24.7 kJ/mol, energy of adsorption between −14.53 and −65.07 and Gibbs free energy of −10.12 kJ/mol which indicated the CLE exothermically spontaneously physisorbed. A model was generated to estimate the effect of the process parameters (inhibitor concentration, reaction time and temperature) using the RSM. Optimization of the process factors was also carried out using the RSM. The percentage inhibition efficiency obtained experimentally (85.61%) was closely comparable to 84.89% obtained by the theoretical technique (RSM). The SEM observations of the inhibited and uninhibited Al samples demonstrated that CLE is an effective corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in acid media.

Originality/value

Results herein provide novel information on the possible application of CLEs as effective eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors.
