Copper substrates deposed on a gold screen-printed electrode were covered with different aryl diazonium salts by electrodeposition at 0.25 mA for 30 or 300 s. Seven compounds were investigated: 4-aminophenylacetic acid, 4-aminophenethyl alcohol, 4-fluoroaniline, 4-(heptadecafluorooctyl)aniline, 4-aminoantipyrine, 4-(4-aminophenyl)butyric acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline. Quantitative monitoring...

The cooling water chemistry has changed steadily over the past decade. Use of high performance antiscalants, corrosion inhibitors, polymer for better dispersion, total prevention of microbial deposits by using powerful biocides and biodispersants, pH boosters and advanced hardness stabilizers is the current practice. But addition of so many different chemicals to the cooling water system (CWS) ...

The localized corrosion behavior of a galvanic aluminum copper couple was investigated by in situ fluorescence imaging with a fiber-optic imaging sensor. Three different, but complementary methods were used for visualizing remote corrosion sites, mapping the topography of the metal surface, and measuring local chemical concentrations of H+, OH-, and Al3+. The first method is based on a pH-sensi...

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...

Metal-carbon nanocomposites have been investigated as additives to enhance the protective effect of corrosion inhibitors. Two inhibitors were used Inhibitor VNH-L-113 (1-morpholinomethylcyclohexylamine) belongs Schiff bases, which are known in neutral and acidic media. SNPKh-1004 is often practice protection oil gas industry. For research, an electrochemical method was applied using rate meters...

An effective corrosion inhibitor for steel is Hexamine (HMTA). There have been few studies on its corrosion-inhibiting characteristics, particularly in NaCl solution. The electrochemical characteristics of HMTA performance 3.5 wt% solution were examined during this study. Additionally, the properties film surface was investigated. When tested solution, results revealed that a very efficient mil...

In this study, an  organic compound  inhibitor, namely N-benzyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-amine (NBTA), was synthesized and the role of this inhibitor for corrosion protection of stainless steel (SS) exposed to 0.5 M H2SO4 was investigated using electrochemical, and quantum analysis. By taking advantage of potentiodynamic polarization, the inhibitory action of NBTA was found t...

The influence of benzoate anions on the corrosion inhibition effect of benzotriazole (BTA) for mild steel in sulfuric acid has been investigated. The investigation was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The addition of benzoate ions greatly enhances the inhibition efficiency of BTA in a synergistic manner. This effect has bee...
