N-(3-(Dimethyl benzyl ammonio)propyl)alkanamide chloride derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution: experimental and theoretical investigation

The effects of N-(3-(dimethyl benzyl ammonio)propyl)lauramide chloride (DMBL), N-(3-(dimethyl benzyl ammonio)propyl)myristamide chloride (DMBM) and N-(3-(dimethyl benzyl ammonio)propyl)palmitamide chloride (DMBP) on the corrosion of mild carbon steel in acidic medium (1.0 M HCl) were investigated using weight loss and electrochemical measurements. The inhibition efficiency was found to be hydrophobicity- and temperature-dependent. Increasing the hydrophobic chain length increased the efficiency due to greater adsorption on the metal surface. The inhibition efficiency is directly proportional to the tested temperature. The electrochemical polarization study revealed that the tested cationic surfactants are mixed-type inhibitors. The Villamil adsorption isotherm is the better-fitted model for describing the adsorption process on the selected steel in 1.0 M HCl medium. The change in the free energy of adsorption of the synthesized cationic surfactants on the metal surface indicates that the adsorption process is chemisorption. Double-layer capacitance values obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy decrease in the presence of the synthesized surfactant. Quantum chemical calculations support the experimental data and the adsorption on the metal surface.

The adsorption of the tested inhibitors on the steel surface is a mixture of chemical and physical adsorption.

A study on the effect of new prepared amide cationic amphipathic on the corrosion inhibition of API N80 steel pipelines in oil wells industries

Purpose The purpose of this study is to inspect the corrosion inhibition of API N80 steel pipelines in uninhibited solution and inhibited with a synthesized surfactant compound [N-(3-(dimethyl octyl ammonio) propyl) palmitamide bromide] (DMDPP), which is prepared through a simple and applicable method. Design/methodology/approach Weight loss was inspected at five different temperatures of 25°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C and 60°C Potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation were used at room temperature. Density functional theory was used to study the relation between the molecular structure and inhibition theoretically. Findings Adsorption of the prepared DMDPP fits the Langmuir isotherm model. The inhibition efficiency of the prepared DMDPP amphipathic inhibitor is directly proportional to temperature increase. Polarization results reveal that the investigated DMDPP amphipathic compound behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor. EIS spectra produced one individual capacitive loop. Originality/value The originality is the preparation of cationic surfactants through a simple method, which can be used as corrosion inhibitors in oil production. The synthesized inhibitors were prepared from low-price materials. The work studied the behavior of the synthesized surfactants in inhibiting the corrosion of the steel in an acidic medium. Electrochemical and theoretical studies were presented, besides gravimetric and surface examination.

Three Gemini cationic surfactants based on polyethylene glycol as effective corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in acidic environment

Abstract Three Gemini quaternary ammonium surfactants based on polyethylene glycol have been prepared and characterized using FTIR and 1HNMR spectra. The effect of ethylene oxide units’ number on the steel corrosion in 1.0 M HCl has been estimated using weight loss, polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Gravimetric technique has been done at three different temperatures 25, 40 and 55 °C. The synthesized Gemini cationic surfactants with the higher molecular weight (higher number of ethylene oxide units) showed the higher inhibition efficiency under all conditions. All the prepared Gemini inhibitors showed higher inhibition efficiency upon raising the solution temperature from 25 to 55 °C. The synthesized inhibitor G1500Br showed inhibition efficiency reach to 94% at temperature 55 °C. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm is the best-fitted isotherm concerning the tested Gemini surfactants adsorption onto steel surface. The change in the free energy of adsorption refers to physicochemical adsorption on steel surface. The synthesized materials act as a mixed-type inhibitor based on the potentiodynamic polarization results.

Corrosion Inhibition of Novel Prepared Cationic Surfactants for API N80 Carbon Steel Pipelines in Oil Industries

The objective of this study is to investigate the corrosion inhibition of API N80 steel pipelines in 1M HCl solution by a synthesized compound (N-(3-(dimethyl octyl ammonio) propyl) palmitamide bromide, subjected to four different modes of measurements. Weight loss (WL) was investigated at five different temperatures: 25–60°C, while potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) were tested at 25°C. The result showed that the synthesized inhibitor was good and its protection efficiency (%η) significantly increased by increasing both the dose and the temperature. The polarization curve revealed that the studied inhibitor acts as mixed-type of inhibitor. Adsorption of the investigated inhibitor led to a reduction in the double layer capacitance and an increase in the charge transfer resistance. The adsorption of this inhibitor was found to obey the Langmuir adsorption model. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. A clear correlation was found between corrosion protection efficiency and theoretical parameters obtained using density functional theory.

Inhibitive Action of New Synthesized Cationic Surfactant with Free Hydroxyl Group on the C1018 Steel Corrosion: Experimental and Theoretical Investigations

A new cationic surfactant namely, N-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl)-N,N-dimethylhexadecan-1-ammonium bromide (HEDHB) was prepared and its performance as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution was monitored by four techniques (weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)). The temperature influence on the corrosion rate has been assessed throughout gravimetric technique. The corrosion thermodynamic and the inhibitor adsorption processes were inspected and assessed. The weight loss results confirmed that, the inhibition efficiency of the synthesized HEDHB inhibitor directly proportionally to inhibitor concentration and the temperature. Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm was the best fitted isotherm, which describes the ability of the molecule to adsorb on the steel surface. Tafel polarization reveals that the HEDHB inhibitor suppress both the anodic and cathodic reactions and thus, classified as a mixed-type inhibitor. The morphology of the treated surface with HEDHB inhibitor was monitored by two techniques (Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)). A quantum chemical study has been utilized to investigate the influence of molecular structure of the synthesized HEDHB inhibitor on corrosion inhibition efficiency.

The propensity of the synthesized compounds to adsorb on the steel surface were found to obey Villamil adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency was increased concurrently with a plethora of inhibitor concentration and a rise of the solution temperature. Polarization curves prove that the tested compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors. Double-layer capacitances of inhibitors decrease when compared to the blank solution.
