The corrosion behavior of mild steel (Ck 45) in 3.0 M H3PO4 solution in the absence and presence of penicillin G was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The best inhibition effect at 10 mM of drug was a marked characteristic of the inhibitor. It was found that the inhibition efficiency of the inhibitor...

A new anti-corrosion compound, Melamine Formaldehyde (MF), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. This compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing SiO2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. This inhibitor provides a high level of protection f...

Weight loss technique has been used to study the corrosion inhibition efficiency of tin in HNO3 solution by using the leaves and stem extract of different varieties of Holy Basil viz. ocimum basilicum (EB), ocimum cannum (EC) and ocimum sanctum (ES). The results show that all the varieties under study are good corrosion inhibitors, among which leaves extract of EB is the most effective. Corrosi...

The effect of vanillin on the corrosion behavior of AA6061 Al alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution wasinvestigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques. Vanillinoffers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition due to its nontoxicity and high solubility inaqueous media. The best inhibition effect at 200 ppm vanillin was a marked characteristic of theinhibi...

The corrosion inhibition properties of the benzothiazole BTH and benzotriazole BT inhibitors on the aluminum in 0.25 M HCl solution were studied. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, electrochemical noise EN and potentiodynamic polarization techniques were used to investigate the inhibition properties of the inhibitors. Scanning electron microscope SEM was also utilized in order to inves...

A corrosion inhibitor suitable for industrial production and field application was rapidly synthesized from benzene-1,2-diamine, benzaldehyde, methanol, hydrochloric acid, and FeCl3. The mechanism of corrosion and its inhibition was proposed. We investigated the effect of the main reactants on corrosion rate, and optimal synthetic composition (benzene-1,2-diamine 10 g, b...

The corrosion inhibition of API 5L X60 pipeline steel in oil well acidizing fluid stimulated with 1.0 M HCl by Tranexamic Acid (TXA) was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the conventional gravimetric or weight loss (WL) techniques at temperatures ranging from 303 to 323 K. Surface morphological analysis was carried out us...

To avoid the secondary pollution that inorganic corrosion inhibitor may cause in circulating cooling water, the bio-corrosion inhibition effect of lysozyme, catalase, lipase, and laccase, as the biologic inhibitors without the above problem, and the increased bio-corrosion inhibition effect of Ca+2 and Mg+2 are studied. An enzyme with corrosion properties was selected by rotary coupon test. The...

Vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of AISI 304 stainless steel in0.5M H2SO4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(EN) tec...
