Abstract

A few nitrones such as N‐benzilidene aniline‐N‐oxide, N‐(O‐hydroxy benzilidene) aniline‐N‐oxide (HN) and N‐(α‐naphthylidene) aniline‐N‐oxide (NN) have been synthesised and investigated for evaluating their efficiency as inhibitors for the corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl at different concentrations of nitrones ranging from 0.025‐1.0mM and at different temperatures ranging from 30‐70°C. Among these compounds NN gives the best performance even at higher temperatures. Potentiodynamic polarisation studies reveal the fact that all compounds behave as mixed type inhibitors. Hydrogen permeation studies reveal the fact that all the compounds bring down the permeation current. The absorption of these compounds on the mild steel surface from 1M HCl obeys Temkin’s absorption isotherm.

Abstract

Purpose

To demonstrate corrosion inhibition capabilities of new cyclic nitrones, containing hydrophobic substituents.

Design/methodology/approach

A number of new cyclic nitrones were synthesized. Corrosion inhibition efficiencies of these organic inhibitors were determined by gravimetric and electrochemical methods, using carbon steel as the substrate metal and 1 M HCl at 60°C as the corrosive environment. Concentration of inhibitor was varied between 50 and 400 ppm.

Findings

All compounds exhibited excellent corrosion efficiencies that ranged between 90.0 and 98.3 percent in 1 M HCl at 60°C. Tafel tests corroborated these results.

Research limitations/implications

The inhibitors were tested in acidic medium. It is unknown how these inhibitors will function in the presence of other ions that are typically present in natural corrosive environment.

Originality/value

All organic compounds presented in this work are new and this is the first time their corrosion inhibition characteristics have been evaluated.
