Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid Solution by an Isatin-aniline Compound
Recently the researchers go to the eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors.In the present investigation, isatin which found in many plants, Isatis tinctoria,Calanthe discolor and Couroupita guianensis has been used as corrosioninhibitor. An isatin-aniline compound, namely ethyl 4-amino-N-(3-isatinyl)benzoate (AIB), was successfully synthesized in high yield and its inhibitionimpact on corrosion of MS (mild steel) in hydrochloric acid as corrosivesolution was examined via weight loss and Scanning electron microscopetechniques. The results acquired appeared that AIB has employ perfect as acorrosion inhibitor at low concentrations towards mild steel in HCl bath. Theimpact of temperature on the corrosion behavior of MS in corrosive bath withpresence of (250) ppm of AIB has been investigated in the range oftemperatures (303-333) K. The thermodynamic parameters for inhibitingprocess were investigated to find out the mechanism of corrosion inhibition ofMS acid bath
Experimental Study of 2-Amino-5-(4- nitrophenyl)-1, 3, 4-Thiadiazole for MS in HCl Solution
The present work aims to study the inhibition performance of new organic inhibitor namely ANTD “2-amino-5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4- thiadiazole” on corrosion of mild steel (MS) in HCl environment at the concentration of 1.0 M through using weight loss techniques. Weight lost measurements demonstrates the presence of a film on MS surface in existence of organic substance. The inhibition performance of ANTD at various concentrations for mild steel increases with increasing concentration and with an increased in the immersion time and decreased with raising temperatures degrees. The optimal inhibition efficiency of (ANTD), 82%, was achieved for mild steel when immersed with the highest utilized concentration for 6 hrs
Levels of Lead and Chromium Ions in Different Brands of Lipstick Sold at Local Markets in Iraq
Lead and Chromium ion samples of five commercial samplesof each of twenty brands of lipstick sold at locally markets in Iraq weredetermined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Samples ofdigested Lipstick were used, acid digestion method using acids HCl:HNO3 in ratio 1:3 were used before analysis. Average for analyzedsamples were Pb, 0.10-4.85 ppm; Cr, 0.18-5.2 ppm. Samples No.9 andNo.4 showed the least concentrations of Pb and Cr respectively. Thesevalues are not expected to be toxic to humans. However, exposure overlong periods might cause accumulation of the elements in the body andeven at low concentration; some metals could initiate allergic reactions
Polymer-Impregnated Cement Mortar: Effects of PEG, PAM, and PVA on Mechanical Properties
The brittleness and porosity of cement mortar leads to low compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths and poor hardness, making it susceptible to environmental degradation. This study aimed to improve the mechanical and physical properties of cement mortar using a simple and cost-effective approach of impregnating pre-cured hardened mortar with polymers. Three polymers - polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyacrylamide (PAM), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) - were used for impregnation. The polymers were blended with a magnetic stirrer and the impregnation was performed via three methods: vacuum, ultrasound, and 24-hour immersion. The results showed significant improvements in mechanical and physical properties. PEG-impregnated samples exhibited the highest compressive strength (24.47 MPa), flexural strength (1.38 MPa), and splitting tensile strength (2.08 MPa) compared to reference samples with 17 MPa, 0.52 MPa, and 1.35 MPa respectively. PAM-impregnated cement mortar displayed the highest hardness value of 81 versus 70.08 for the reference sample. Optimal results were achieved via the vacuum method, with increases in bulk density. The polymer impregnation filled pores and improved bonding, enhancing the mechanical properties of the brittle cement mortar
Experimental and Theoretical Approach to the Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in HCl Solution by a Newly Coumarin
New coumarin namely 2-(3-(7-methylcoumarin)acetamido)benzoic acid (MAB) was successfully synthesized by reaction of ethyl 2-(7-methylcoumarin)acetate with anthranilic acid. The chemical structure of MAB was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopies and Elemental Analysis. The inhibition performance of MAB was investigated using the weight loss method. The results illustrate the strong adsorption of MAB molecules on the mild steel coupon surface and this adsorption follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. DFT calculations were performed to show the relationship between the MAP molecular structure and inhibition performance

Coumarins as Potential Antioxidant Agents Complemented with Suggested Mechanisms and Approved by Molecular Modeling Studies
Syntheses of coumarins, which are a structurally interesting antioxidant activity, was done in this article. The modification of 7-hydroxycoumarin by different reaction steps was done to yield target compounds. Molecular structures were characterized by different spectroscopical techniques (Fourier transformation infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance). Antioxidant activities were performed by using various in vitro spectrophometric assays against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). All compounds exhibited high efficiency as antioxidants compared to ascorbic acid. The highest efficiency scavenging activity was found for compound 3 (91.0 ± 5.0), followed by compounds 2 and 4 (88.0 ± 2.00; and 87.0 ± 3.00). Ascorbic acid C was used as a standard drug with a percentage inhibition of 91.00 ± 1.5. The mechanism of the synthesized compounds as antioxidants was also studied. Hartree–Fock–based quantum chemical studies have been carried out with the basis set to 3-21G, in order to obtain information about the three-dimensional (3D) geometries, electronic structure, molecular modeling, and electronic levels, namely HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), to understand the antioxidant activity for the synthesized compounds
Experimental studies on inhibition of mild steel corrosion by novel synthesized inhibitor complemented with quantum chemical calculations
One of best method, which was used to prevent the mild steel from corrosion, was through employed natural or synthetic organic chemical compounds. Here in, we displayed a Schiff base derivative which has nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms as corrosion inhibitor for MS “mild steel” in 1 M HCl “hydrochloric acid” solution. Synthesized inhibitor was characterized by using of FT-IR “Fourier transform infrared” and NMR “Nuclear magnetic resonance” spectroscopies in addition to CHN analysis technique. The weight loss and SEM “Scanning electron microscope” studies showed that inhibitor have the ability to prevent the alloy surface from corrosive solution by adsorbing on MS surface to form stable adsorbed layer that results in the higher inhibition efficiency. The inhibition influence of the synthesized inhibitor was increased parallel with increasing concentration and decrease with rising temperature degrees. Furthermore, DFT “Density function theory” has been employed to calculate quantum chemical parameters “Energy, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and electronegativity (χ)” which performed on synthesized corrosion inhibitor to determine the relationship between the structure of synthesized inhibitor molecule and inhibition performance.
