A study of corrosion inhibition for mild steel in 1 m hydrochloric acid solution using red onion peel extract

A study of corrosion inhibition for mild steel in 1 m hydrochloric acid solution using red onion peel extract / Ong Choon Chieh
Kecekapan perencatan bagi ekstrak methanol kulit bawang merah terhadap kakisan keluli lembut di dalam larutan asid hidroklorik telah disiasat melalui ukuran penurunan berat logam. Kajian ini telah dijalankan dengan merendamkan kupon keluli lembut di dalam 1.0 M larutan asid hidroklorik yang mengandungi dan tanpa ekstrak kulit bawang merah pada pelbagai suhu (303-333 K) dalam tempoh masa 7 hari. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) analisis spektroskopi menunjukkan perencatan kakisan keluli lembut disumbangkan terutamanya oleh C-O dan aromatik kompaun. Kompaun-kompaun tersebut telah terjerap pada permukaan keluli lembut dan membentukkan satu lapisan nipis halangan pelindung. Dari ukuran penurunan berat logam, kecekapan perencatan sebanyak 90 % telah diperoleh dalam larutan HCl yang mengandungi 2.0 g/L ROPE pada suhu 303 K. Kecekapan perencatan didapati bahawa nilainya meningkat dengan peningkatan kepekatan perencat tetapi mengurang dengan suhu larutan asid yang semakin meningkat. Hal ini demikian kerana permukaan keluli lembut akan dioksida pada kadar yang lebih tinggi pada suhu yang tinggi. Hal ini akan menyebabkan desorbsi ROPE daripada permukaan keluli lembut itu. Mekanisme penjerapan ROPE pada permukaan keluli lembut adalah mengikut isoterma penjerapan Langmuir dalam lingkungan suhu yang telah dikaji. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The inhibition efficiency of methanol extract of red onion peel on the corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution has been investigated through weight loss measurements. This study was conducted by immersing mild steel coupon into 1.0 M of HCl solution with (0.5 g/L - 2 g/L inhibitors) and without the presence of red onion peel extracts (ROPE) at various temperatures (303 to 333 K) for 7 days. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis indicated that the inhibition of mild steel corrosion was mainly contributed by C-O and aromatics compounds. These compounds were adsorbed on the mild steel surface and formed a thin layer of protective barrier. From the weight loss measurement, the inhibition efficiency of 90% was obtained in the HCl solution containing 2.0 g/L of ROPE at temperature of 303 K. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration but decrease with increasing temperature of acid solution. This is because mild steel is oxidized at a higher rate at high temperature which causes the ROPE to desorb from the surface of mild steel. The adsorption mechanism of ROPE on the mild steel obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm within the range of temperature studied.
