Pumpkin Leaf Extract Crop Waste as a New Degradable and Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Inhibitor

The pumpkin leaf was extracted by the decoction method, and it was used as an eco-friendly, nontoxic inhibitor of copper in 0.5 M H2SO4 corrosion media. To evaluate the composition and protective capacity of the pumpkin leaf extract, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical testing, XPS, AFM, and SEM were employed. The results showed that the pumpkin leaf extract (PLE) is an effective cathode corrosion inhibitor, exhibiting exceptional protection for copper within a specific temperature range. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of the PLE against copper reached 89.98% when the concentration of the PLE reached 800 mg/L. Furthermore, when the temperature and soaking time increased, the corrosion protection efficiency of 800 mg/L PLE on copper consistently remained above 85%. Analysis of the morphology also indicated that the PLE possesses equally effective protection for copper at different temperatures. Furthermore, XPS analysis reveals that the PLE molecules are indeed adsorbed to form an adsorption film, which is consistent with Langmuir monolayer adsorption. Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations were conducted on the main components of the PLE.

Fructus cannabis protein extract powder as a green and high effective corrosion inhibitor for Q235 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution

The Fructus cannabis protein extract powder (FP), was firstly used as a green and high effective corrosion inhibitor through a simple water-extraction method. The composition and surface property of FP were characterized by FTIR, LC/MS, UV, XPS, water contact angle and AFM force-curve measurements. Results indicate that FP contains multiply functional groups, such as NH, CO, CN, CO, etc. The adsorption of FP on the carbon steel surface makes it higher hydrophobicity and adhesion force. The corrosion inhibition performance of FP was researched by electrochemical impedance, polarization curve and differential capacitance curve. Moreover, the inhibitive stability of FP, and the effects of temperature and chloride ion on its inhibition property were also investigated. The above results indicate that the FP exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency (~98 %), and possesses certain long-term inhibitive stability with inhibition efficiency higher than 90 % after 240 h immersion in 1 M HCl solution. The high temperature brings about the FP desorption on the carbon steel surface, while high concentration of chloride ion facilitates the FP adsorption. The adsorption mechanism of FP follows the Langmuir isotherm adsorption. This work will provide an insight for protein as a green corrosion inhibitor.

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Acid Corrosion Inhibition of API 5L X70 Steel with Novel 1-N-α-d-Glucopyranosyl-1H-1,2,3-Triazole Xanthines

A series of novel 1-N-α-d-glucopyranosyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole xanthines was synthesized from azido sugars (glucose, galactose, and lactose) and propargyl xanthines (theophylline and theobromine) using a typical copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The corrosion inhibition activities of these new carbohydrate-xanthine compounds were evaluated by studying the corrosion of API 5 L X70 steel in a 1 M HCl medium. The results showed that, at 10 ppm, a 90% inhibition efficiency was reached by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The inhibitory efficiency of these molecules is explained by means of quantum chemical calculations of the protonated species with the solvent effect, which seems to better represent the actual situation of the experimental conditions. Some quantum chemical parameters were analyzed to characterize the inhibition performance of the tested molecules.

Ptychostomum schleicheri (Bryophyta) Ekstraktının Yumuşak Çeliğin Korozyonu Üzerine Yeşil Önleyici Etkisi

In present study, the inhibitive impact of Ptychostomum schleicheri extract, a moss species of Bryaceae family, on the mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl at ambient temperature was firstly analysed by Tafel extrapolation method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization (LPR) techniques. Electrochemical tests were conducted by 1 h immersing mild steels in HCl solutions containing four various concentrations of moss extract. At a concentration of 0.200% (w/v), the moss extract displayed around 90 percent inhibition efficiency by three electrochemical methods, and it was also observed that its protective effect increased depending on the upsurge in the concentration of Ptychostomum schleicheri extract. The morphologies of mild steels surface in 1 M HCl with and without P. schleicheri extract at the end of 1 h immersion time were visualized by a metal microscope. Finally, according to the electrochemical data and surface morphology results, it can be said that the extract molecules adsorbed on the mild steel surface to achieve almost maximal coverage and contact.
