Corrosion inhibition effect of arial parts of euphorbia caducifolia for aluminium in Hcl
Corrosion is one of the most damaging and costly naturally occurring events seen today. The most common kinds of corrosion result from electrochemical reactions. It can be prevented if the metal is coated with something which does not allow moisture and oxygen to react with it. It can be controlled by either alloying or by anti rust solutions. The naturally occurring plant products are eco-friendly, compatible, nonpolluting, less toxic, easily available, biodegradable and economic to be used as corrosion inhibitor.Euphorbia caducifolia has been selected to study its corrosion inhibition efficiency. It is easily available in any season. It is native to Thar Desert of India and located on rocky terrain, hills. It is used for treatment of bleeding wound, cutaneous eruption, urinary problems, kidney stones, rheumatic pain, bronchitis, jaundice, diabities, stomach pain, hernia etc. It is also called “Thor” and “Danda-thor”. It contains caudicifolin) norcycloartane type triterpene, cyclocaducinol, triterpenes euphol, tirucallol and cycloartenol. Corrosion inhibition efficiency of arial parts of Euphorbia caducifolia was studied for aluminium in HCl. Maximum inhibition efficiency was found 99.47% in 1N HCl acid with 0.8% leaf corrosion inhibitor whereas it was 94.21% for stem and 90.51% for flower with same concentration of inhibitor i.e. 0.8%. Inhibition efficiency was studied in different concentration of acid (1N, 1.5N, 2N and 2.5N) with different concentration of inhibitor (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8%). Weight loss and thermometric methods were used. Inhibition efficiency was found to be increase with increase in concentration of inhibitor and decrease with increase in acid strength.

Inhibitive effect of new class of Pyrazole derivatives for the control of corrosion of copper-nickel alloy in marine environment
The corrosion behavior of copper-nickel alloy in the presence of two organic inhibitors that belong to the pyrazole derivatives namely 1,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)methylamine and 1,3-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)acetic acid has been investigated in natural sea water. Weight-loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to analyze the effect of the organic compounds on the corrosion inhibition of copper-nickel alloy. Polarization studies showed that these inhibitors were found to act as mixed type for alloy in chloride solution. It suppresses the cathodic and anodic reactions rates and it renders the open circuit potential to more noble directions. Measurements of values of charge transfer resistance (Rct) and the double layer capacity (Cdl) have been carried out. Accelerated leaching studies revealed that the inhibitors control the dissolution of copper and nickel in the alloy.

Synergistic corrosion inhibition of mild steel by some Mercaptobenzidazol compounds with halide ions in sulfuric acid solution
The corrosion and synergistic inhibition behaviour of mild steel in H2SO4 (pH=1) in the presence of 2 mercapto Benzidazol (MBI), 2 Mercapto Benzithiazol (MBT) and 2 Mercapto 5 Methylbenzimidazol (MMBI) and potassium chloride (KCl), potassium Bromide (KBr) and potassium iodide (KI) was investigated using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance measurements. The inhibition efficiency has been found to increase with inhibitor concentration. All the three inhibitors function through adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm and made contribution with physical adsorption. It has been found the addition of potassium halides enhanced the inhibition action and the maximum enhancement has been obtained in case of the KI compared to other halides for each inhibitor. The inhibition system composed by 500 ppm MBT and 700 ppm KI offered maximum corrosion protection (~96%). On the other hand, it was found that the inhibiting effect of MBI, MBT and MMBI decreased with exposure period and temperature of the corrosion medium. The potentiodynamic results showed that these compounds suppressed both cathodic and anodic processes; preferentially acting on cathodic areas. The presence of these inhibiting species decreased the double layer capacitance and increased the charge transfer resistance, derived from Nyquist plots obtained from impedance studies. The comparative FTIR studies between pure compound and respective metal surface product indicated the presence of inhibitor in the metal surface product obtained after exposure in inhibited solutions. SEM analysis suggested that the metal had been protected from the aggressive corrosion because of the addition of the inhibitors on the surface.

Protective effect of N-[(benzylidene hydrazino)-propyl]- benzotriazole and N-[(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidineimino)-propyl]-benzotriazole for the control of corrosion of Cu-Ni (90/10) alloy in Sea water
The effect of novel corrosion inhibitors, new class of substituted benzotriazoles namely N-[(benzylidene hydrazino)-propyl]- benzotriazole(BPBT) and N-[(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazolidineimino)-propyl]-benzotriazole (OPBT) were synthesised and their inhibition behaviour on Cu-Ni alloy in natural sea water were investigated by the weight-loss method, potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance studies. Polarization measurements showed that the organic compounds investigated are mixed type inhibitors, inhibiting the corrosion of Cu-Ni alloy by blocking the active sites of the metal surface. They decrease the anodic reaction rate more strongly than the cathodic reaction rate and render the open circuit potential of Cu-Ni alloy more positive in natural sea water. Changes in the impedance parameters (charge transfer resistance (Rct) and double layer capacitance (Cdl)) are related to adsorption of organic inhibitors on the metal surface, leading to the formation of a protective film. Solution analysis revealed the decrease in dissolution of both copper and nickel in the presence of benzotriazole derivatives. The morphology of the Cu-Ni alloy after corrosion in the presence and absence of the benzotriazole derivatives was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All studies clearly show that the substituted benzotriazoles inhibits the corrosion of Cu-Ni alloy in natural seawater and the value of inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration of inhibitors.

Electrochemical Studies on the Inhibition behavior of Aluminum in HCl Solution using Ziziphus Spina Christi Extract
Ziziphus Spina Christi Extract (ZSCE) was tested as corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in 0.5 M HCl using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) measurements. Surface morphology was tested using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of Al in 0.5 M HCl with and without different concentrations of plant extract was studied at temperatures of 298 and 318 K. Inhibition efficiency of 85.7% was achieved with 500 ppm ZSCE at 298 K. It is evident from the results obtained that ZSCE inhibits the corrosion in 0.5 M HCl through adsorption process following Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in extract concentration but decreased with raising temperatures. The mixed mode of action exhibited by the extract was confirmed by the polarization studies while SEM analysis substantiated the formation of protective layer over the Al surface. The values of inhibition efficiency obtained from different techniques are in good agreement.
