Abstract
In this work, we undertake the time-evolution and temperature assessment of 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzothiazole (HMBT) and its mixture with potassium iodide (KI) as a corrosion inhibitor for C1018 carbon steel in 15 % HCl. According to weight loss measurements at 25 °C, the inhibition efficiency of HMBT initially decreases from 74 % to 28 % between 6 and 24 h, but subsequently increases to 61 % after 72 h immersion, following a transformation from Temkin adsorption to a Langmuir adsorption mode. The presence of 5 mM KI significantly alters the adsorption mode of HMBT by favoring a Langmuir adsorption mode and ensuring only a minimal decrease in efficiency from 94 % (after 6 h) to 81 % (after 72 h). At 60 °C the inhibition efficiency of HMBT and HMBT + KI increases to 79 and 99 %, respectively, by the Langmuir adsorption mode. The mechanism of HMBT inhibition and its modification by KI was confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). FTIR characterization confirmed that HMBT blocks the corrosion via an adsorption mechanism, such that the CC and CN groups act as adsorption sites, based on computational modeling. KI also improved HMBT ability to protect surface microstrucrual degradation, based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
