Abstract
Corrosion presents a substantial hurdle in the oil and gas industry, and corrosion inhibitors represent an economically viable strategy for control and prevention. As operating conditions in oil and gas extraction become increasingly harsh, factors such as cost, availability, and service temperature significantly influence inhibitor selection. While there is a wealth of literature on organic corrosion inhibitors, many exhibit a notable decrease in effectiveness at elevated temperatures, hindering their industrial application. To address this issue, we synthesized a novel Schiff base derivative, 1-((E)-(4-chlorophenylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (E4CMN), and investigated its effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion on Q235 immersed in a 1 M HCl. E4CMN adsorbs onto the surface by forming strong π-d interactions with Fe through the delocalized π electrons in its conjugated structure, effectively blocking the attack of corrosive particles towards the metal surface and consequently suppressing metal corrosion. Our study demonstrates that E4CMN exhibits maximum efficiencies of 96.9 % at a concentration of 250 mg L−1. Importantly, E4CMN shows insensitivity to service temperature, maintaining an 84.4 % corrosion inhibition efficiency even when exposed to 75 °C. This work provides novel insights into mechanism of inhibition of mild steel corrosion by Schiff base derivatives in acidic environments and offers valuable considerations for the development and selection of corrosion inhibitors for high-temperature applications.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
