Abstract

Purpose

The aim of the present work was to study the synergistic effect of HEDP and zinc on inhibition of the corrosion of carbon steel in neutral oxygen‐containing chloride solutions, and to investigate the effect of zinc‐HEDP molar ratio on the effectiveness of the zinc‐HEDP inhibitive mixtures.

Design/methodology/approach

The inhibition of the corrosion of carbon steel by zinc‐HEDP mixtures in neutral oxygen‐containing solutions was investigated in the presence of 0.003 M (106 ppm) chloride.

Findings

It was shown that the inhibition by these mixtures depended not only on the zinc/HEDP molar ratio but also on the concentration of both zinc and HEDP. HEDP concentration appeared to be crucial where good inhibition was not achieved at low concentrations and aggressive nature is observed at high HEDP levels. The effectiveness of the zinc‐HEDP mixtures enhanced inhibition by increasing the zinc content of the mixture, but the mechanism was only effective to a certain level, above which the inhibition effect declined. The predominant corrosion control mechanism of the zinc‐HEDP mixture was on the anodic (metal dissolution) reaction, but it also affected the rate and mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction.

Originality/value

Demonstrates how the effectiveness of the zinc‐HEDP mixtures can enhance inhibition by increasing the zinc content of the mixture.

Abstract

Purpose

Profitability is crucial for a company’s sustainability. This study aims to examine the influence of profitability and specific variables on the value of real estate companies in Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses a sample of 42 real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2023. A static panel regression approach was adopted, with the best model being the fixed effect model, verified through a robustness test.

Findings

The results indicate that the fixed effect model is the most effective in explaining firm value. Profitability, proxied by return on assets (ROAs), does not significantly impact firm value. This finding is confirmed by robustness tests using another profitability measure, return on equity (ROE). Additionally, company size negatively and significantly impacts firm value, while activity ratio and leverage have a positive and significant effect. Liquidity and company growth do not significantly affect firm value.

Research limitations/implications

The research is limited to Indonesian real estate firms, cautioning against broad generalization to other countries or industries. The study could not demonstrate the influence of profitability on the value of real estate companies. Instead, firm value is influenced by company size, activity ratio and leverage.

Practical implications

Real estate firms should increase their activity, optimize funding and consider company size to enhance firm value.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the Indonesian real estate sector by revealing that profitability does not enhance firm value. Indonesian real estate companies generally have low profitability and firm value.
