Beeswax-colophony blend: a novel green organic coating for protection of steel drinking water storage tanks

Beeswax-colophony blend is mainly used as a sealant mixture for preservation applications. The beeswax itself, however, has had a long way in history taking part in conservation processes including mummification. In this research, this blend was used as a protective coating for drinking water distribution tanks. Initially, a layer with 400 μm thickness was applied on a sand blasted mild steel plate. The long-term electrochemical behavior of the coating was investigated by open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical microbiological characteristics of the coating, microbial and chemical examinations were performed on drinking water samples that had been in contact with the coating. Furthermore, its behavior in an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASBR) in a wastewater treatment plant was investigated using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Regarding the consistency of experimental results, it was concluded that this proposed recyclable blend could be considered as a novel green organic coating and also a good corrosion barrier even in aggressive environments

Green Corrosion Inhibitors, Past, Present, and Future

Green corrosion inhibitors are of interest because there has been an increase in environmental awareness and a change in regulations that restrict regular corrosion inhibitors due to their toxicity. Natural products are a good source of green corrosion inhibitors, where most of their extracts containing the necessary elements such as O, C, N, and S, which are active in organic compounds, assist in adsorption of these compounds on metals or alloys to form a film that protects the surface and hinders corrosion. Numerous natural products and their application in different processes, especially in steel reinforcement embedded in concrete, are discussed. Development of green chemistry and green chemical technologies offers novel synthetic methods for ionic liquids, which are considered as new corrosion green inhibitors, and their mechanism of adsorption, how these green inhibitors act in different media, and their protective role for different metals and alloys are discussed. Finally, industrial applications of vapor-phase inhibitors and their mechanisms are presented

Green Eugenol Oligomers as Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel in 1M HCl

This study investigated the corrosion inhibition of polyeugenol on API P110 in 1 M HCl. Its monomer – eugenol – is obtained from clove and cinnamon, making the oligomer environmentally friendly. The influence of molecular weight and polymerization degree was evaluated by increasing the polymerization initiator/monomer ratio. This enabled the polymerization of three different oligomers (P10, P20 and P30), which were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), and size exclusion chromatography techniques. The inhibition performance of polyeugenol was determined by weight loss (WL) and electrochemical tests to assess the influence of structural differences. WL indicated that the oligomer with the lowest polymerization degree (P10) exhibited greater efficiency (82-84%) due to more uniform surface coverage. Electrochemical tests confirmed polyeugenol as a mixed inhibitor. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) calculations indicated the presence of an organic layer covering the steel surface

Advances in Organic Corrosion Inhibitors and Protective Coatings

The interaction of metal with its environment that results in its chemical alteration is called metallic corrosion. According to the literature, corrosion is classified to two types: uniform and localized corrosion. Intervention in either in the alloy environment or in the alloy structure can provide the corrosion protection of metallic materials. Furthermore, the interference in the metal alloy environment can be conducted with the utilization of cathodic or anodic protection via the corresponding inhibitors. Therefore, the most common categorization is cathodic, anodic, and mixed-type inhibitors, taking into account which half-reaction they suppress during corrosion phenomena. The majority of the organic inhibitors are of mixed type and perform through chemisorption. In order to update the field of the corrosion protection of metal and metal alloys with the use of organic inhibitors, a Special Issue entitled "Advances in Organic Corrosion Inhibitors and Protective Coatings" is introduced. This book gathers and reviews a collection of ten contributions (nine articles and one review), from authors from Europe, Asia, and Africa, that were accepted for publication in this Special Issue of Applied Sciences

Cleaner corrosion inhibitors using Peumus boldus Molina formulations in oil well acidizing fluids: gravimetric, electrochemical and DFT studies

Eco-friendly inhibitors are an alternative to reduce environmental and human health problems related to conventional inhibitors employed in oil well acidizing. In the present study, boldo (Peumus boldus) was investigated as a corrosion inhibitor for API P110 carbon steel in 2 M and 15% HCl. A two-level full factorial design (23) was used to evaluate the extraction time (90 and 210 min), temperature (313 and 343 K) and solute/ethanol ratio (0.15 and 0.35 g of sheet/mL of ethanol). The extracts were characterized by phenolic content, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance, relative density and refraction index. The extract concentration in 2 M HCl was evaluated at 303 and 313 K, achieving 87% efficiency. Binary formulations were developed in order to partially reduce the use of conventional inhibitors. Two formulations performed better at 333 K. Electrochemical tests provided information about the metal-solution interface in the absence and presence of the formulations, indicating that these are mixed corrosion inhibitors. Confocal microscopy elucidated metallic surface morphology. Surface characterization techniques confirmed the presence of the inhibitory film on the metallic surface. Density functional theory indicated that the boldine molecule was stable in the acidic phase, exhibiting improved anticorrosive properties
