Corrosion Inhibition of Imidazoline Derivates with Benzene Rings on Mild Steel in CO_2-Saturated Brine Solution

Corrosion inhibition of three imidazoline derivates with different numbers of benzene rings,namely 2-phenyl-1-ethylamino imidazoline（CI-1）,2-phenyl-1-ethylamino-1-methylbenzyl quaternary imidazoline（CI-12） and 2-phenyl-1-benzoyl ethylamino imidazoline（CI-13）,on mild steel in CO2-saturated brine solution was evaluated by mass-loss method and potentiodynamic polarization method.The results show that the three imidazoline derivates can inhibit CO2 corrosion effectively with CI-12 ranking the highest.They mainly restrain the anodic dissolution and act as anodic-type inhibitors.The adsorptions of these derivates on the mild steel surface follow the Langmuir adsorption isothermal equation and belong to chemical adsorption.

Eclipta Alba as Corrosion Pickling Inhibitor on Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid

Due to ease of application, cost effectiveness and environmentally safe, in this study, the corrosion inhibition effect of aqueous extract of Eclipta alba in 1N hydrochloric acid has been investigated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance methods and the extracts of Eclipta alba were found to be effective corrosion pickling inhibitor. The effect of immersion time and temperature revealed that the extracts of Eclipta alba with an optimum concentration of 8.0% v/v showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 99.6% at 3 h immersion time and 30℃. Arrhenius plots for mild steel immersed in 1N HCl solution in the absence and presence of optimum concentration （8.0% in v/v） of Eclipta alba extract showed the effect of temperature. Polarization studies indicate that this plant extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor. The adsorption of Eclipta alba follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition action may be due to the presence of the Wedelactone and also the alkaloid Ecliptine present in the leaves of Eclipta alba.

1,4-Bis(2-nitrobenzylidene) thiosemicarbazide as Effective Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel

The inhibition efficiency of 1,4-bis （2-nitrobenzylidene） thiosemicarbazide （BBTS） on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 mol/L HCI was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance methods. Inhibition efficiency （IE）, corrosion rate and surface coverage were evaluated at different concentrations of BBTS. The results of the investigation showed that this compound had good inhibiting properties for mild steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid and BBTS was a mixed-type inhibitor. BBTS chemisorbed at the electrode surface obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm and formed a stable surface complex on the mild steel surface. The synergistic effect of halide ion in acid solution suggested a co-adsorption of BBTS inhibitor by the adsorbed iodide ion.

A novel imidazoline derivative as corrosion inhibitor for P110 carbon steel in hydrochloric acid environment

novel imidazoline derivative,2-methyl-4-phenyl-1-tosyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole(IMI),was prepared and investigated as corrosion inhibitor for P110 carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution by weight loss measurements,potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)tests.The inhibition efficiency increased with the rising concentration of IMI inhibitor.The test results and fitting data indicated that the IMI behaved as a mixed-type inhibitor and obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM)was carried out to investigate the surface of carbon steel specimens,showing great protection from aggressive solution.Finally,inhibition mechanism of IMI on metal surface was further discussed.

Investigation of carbon dioxide photoreduction process in a laboratory-scale photoreactor by computational fluid dynamic and reaction kinetic modeling

The production of solar fuels via the photoreduction of carbon dioxide to methane by titanium oxide is a promising process to control greenhouse gas emissions and provide alternative renewable fuels. Although several reaction mechanisms have been proposed, the detailed steps are still ambiguous, and the limiting factors are not well defined. To improve our understanding of the mechanisms of carbon dioxide photoreduction, a multiphysics model was developed using COMSOL. The novelty of this work is the computational fluid dynamic model combined with the novel carbon dioxide photoreduction intrinsic reaction kinetic model, which was built based on three-steps, namely gas adsorption, surface reactions and desorption, while the ultraviolet light intensity distribution was simulated by the Gaussian distribution model and Beer-Lambert model. The carbon dioxide photoreduction process conducted in a laboratory-scale reactor under different carbon dioxide and water moisture partial pressures was then modeled based on the intrinsic kinetic model. It was found that the simulation results for methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen yield match the experiments in the concentration range of 10^(−4) mol·m^(–3) at the low carbon dioxide and water moisture partial pressure. Finally, the factors of adsorption site concentration, adsorption equilibrium constant, ultraviolet light intensity and temperature were evaluated.
