Abstract

The electrochemical behavior and corrosion inhibition of zinc in 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ in the absence and presence of some chromones has been investigated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The presence of these investigated compounds in the corrosive solutions decrease the weight loss, the corrosion current density, and double layer capacitance but increases the charge transfer resistance. Polarization studies were carried out at room temperature, and showed that all the studied compounds act as mixed type inhibitors with a slight predominance of cathodic character. The effect of temperature on corrosion inhibition has been studied and the thermodynamic activation and adsorption parameters were determined and discussed. The adsorption of the investigated compounds on zinc was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

INTRODUCTION

Zinc is widely used in various industrial operations and the study of corrosion of zinc and its inhibition is a subject of practical significance. The damage by corrosion generates high cost for inspection, repairing, and replacement, thus the necessity of using substances that behave like corrosion inhibitors especially in acid media1 is required. The use of organic molecules as corrosion inhibitor is one of the most practical methods for protecting against the corrosion, and it is becoming increasingly popular. Organic inhibitors act by the adsorption and forming protective film on the metal surface. Organic compounds containing heteroatoms with high electron density, such as N, P, S, and O in their molecular structures as well as those containing multiple bonds are effective as corrosion inhibitor because of their ability to be adsorbed on the metal surface. 2−5 Many researchers in the literature studied the corrosion inhibition of zinc in H2SO4 using organic compounds containing nitrogen, oxygen and/or sulphur atoms. Among nitrogen containing compounds: quinoline,6 aniline,7 hydrazine derivatives,8 tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives,9 thiourea, 10 benzene-thiol and its derivatives,11 imidazole azo derivatives,12 2-mercaptobenzimidazole,13 Schiff bases of ethylenediamine14 and m-substituted aniline-N-salicylidenes15 these compounds have shown good inhibition towards zinc in acidic medium. On other hand, quinine sulphate, piperazine, caffeine and barbitone have been investigated as corrosion inhibitors for aluminum and zinc in acidic medium.1617 The reaction of corrosion inhibitors at the metal-solution interface has been evaluated by adsorption characteristics and also by the thermodynamics of adsorption. 1819

The aim of the present work deals with the effect of two chromone derivatives on the corrosion of zinc in H2SO4 solution using weight loss and different electrochemical measurements. The effect of temperature on corrosion behavior also was studied and the mechanism of corrosion inhibition was discussed. Activation energies in the absence and presence of inhibitors have been evaluated.

 

EXPERIMENTAL

The zinc (BDH grade) sheets used in this paper have the following composition (weight %): 0.003 Cu, 0.002 Fe, 0.001 Pb, 0.001 Cd and the rest Zn. All chemicals used were of analytical reagent grade. Specimens of zinc sheets were first polished with different grades of emery papers, in order to obtain a smooth surface, then degreased in acetone in ultrasonic bath, washed by bidistilled water and dried between two fitter papers. The solution of 0.5 M H2SO4 was prepared with bidistilled water. The names, molecular formulae, structures and molecular weights of the investigated chromones are:

Weight Loss Measurements

For weight loss measurements, rectangular zinc specimens of size 20×20×2 mm were immersed in 100 ml inhibited and uninhibited solutions and allow to stand for several intervals at 30 ℃ in watejavascript:;r thermostat. The degree of surface coverage (θ) and the percentage inhibition efficiency (% IE) of the studied inhibitors was calculated using equation (1):

where Mfree and Minh are the weight losses per unit area in the absence and presence of the investigated compounds, respectively.

Potentiodynamic Polarization Measurements

Potentiodynamic polarization experiments were carried out in a conventional three-electrode cell with platinum foil (1 cm2) as counter electrode, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as a reference electrode and zinc sheet (1×1 cm) embedded in epoxy resin of polytetrafluoroethylene as a working electrode. Before polarization scanning, working electrode was immersed in the test solution for 30 minute until steady state potential was attained. Measurements were performed in the 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing different concentrations of the investigated compounds by changing the electrode potential automatically from −1.5 to −0.25 V at scan rate of 0.5 mV s−1. The linear Tafel segments of anodic and cathodic curves were extrapolated to corrosion potential to obtain corrosion current densities (icorr). The inhibition efficiency (% IE) and the degrees of surface coverage (θ) were defined by equation (2):20

where icorr and i'corr are the inhibited and uninhibited corrosion current density values, respectively.

Electrochemical Frequency Modulation (EFM) Technique

Electrochemical frequency modulation technique is a non destructive technique that can directly and rapidly gives values of the corrosion current without a prior knowledge of Tafel constants. In this work, potential perturbation signal with amplitude of 10 mV with two sine waves of 2 and 5 Hz was applied. The intermodulation spectra containing current responses were assigned for harmonical and intermodulation current peaks. The larger peaks were used to calculate the corrosion current density (icorr), the Tafel constants (βc and βa) and the causality factors CF−2 and CF−3.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Method

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed at 25 ± 1 ℃ in a three electrode assembly. The EIS spectra were recorded at open circuit potential (OCP) after immersion the electrode for 30 minutes in the test solution. The AC signal was 5 mV peak to peak and the frequency range studied was between 100 kHz and 0.2 Hz. The inhibition efficiency (% IE) and the surface coverage (θ) of the used inhibitor obtained from the impedance measurements can be calculated from equation (3):

where and Rct are the charge transfer resistance in the presence and absence of inhibitor, respectively.

All electrochemical experiments were carried out using Gamry PCI 300/4 Potentiostat/Galvanostat/Zra analyzer, DC 105 corrosion software, EIS 300 Electrochemical impedance software, EFM 140 Electrochemical frequency modulation software and Echem Analyst 5.21 for results plotting, graphing, data fitting and calculating.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Weight Loss Measurements

Weight loss-time curves for the corrosion of zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 in the absence and presence of different concentrations of the studied chromones at 25 ℃ were determined as shown in Fig. 1. As shown from this Figure, by increasing the concentration of these compounds, the weight loss of zinc is decreased. The linear variation of weight loss with time in uninhibited and inhibited 0.5 M H2SO4 indicates the absence of insoluble surface films during corrosion. From the calculated values of inhibition efficiency given in Table 1, it is obvious that the inhibition increases by increasing the concentration of the additives. This indi-cates that the additives behave as inhibitors over the concentration range studied. The order of decreasing the inhibition efficiency of the investigated derivatives (Table 1) in 0.5 M H2SO4 is: (a) > (b).

Adsorption isotherm

One of the most convenient ways of expressing adsorption quantitatively is by deriving the adsorption isotherm that characterizes the metal/inhibitor/environment system.21 Assuming the corrosion inhibition was caused by the adsorption of chromones, the values of surface coverage for different concentrations of inhibitors in 0.5 M H2SO4 were evaluated from weight loss measurement using equation (1). It was found that the values of (θ) increased with increasing the concentration of chromones. Using these values of surface coverage, one can utilize different adsorption isotherms to deal with experimental data.

Figure 2.Langmuir adsorption isotherm plots for zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 containing various concentrations of compounds (a and b) at 25 ℃.

Different adsorption isotherms were applied to investigate the adsorption mechanism and the best one obtained is Langmuir isotherm by plotting (C/θ) vs C, straight lines were obtained (Fig. 2) indicating that this isotherm is valid for these compounds. Langmuir adsorption isotherm22 expressed by equation (4):

where C is inhibitor concentration and Kads is equilibrium constant of adsorption. It is well known that the standard adsorption free energy (ΔGo ads) is related to equilibrium constant of adsorption (Kads) by the equation (5):23

where 55.5 is the concentration of water in the bulk of the solution in mol L−1, R is the universal gas constant and T is the absolute temperature. The values of ΔGo ads are negative indicating that the adsorption process proceeds spontaneously and the adsorbed layer on the zinc surface is stable.24 It is generally accepted that the values of ΔGo ads up to −20 kJ mol−1 the type of adsorption was regarded as physisorption, the inhibition acts due to the electrostatic interaction between the charged molecules and the charged metal, while the values around −40 kJ mol−1 or higher, were seen as chemisorptions, which is due to the charge sharing or a transfer from the inhibitor molecules to the metal surface to form covalent bond.2526 The calculated values of ΔGo ads for compounds (a) and (b) are equal to −43.6 and −41.9 kJ mol−1, respectively. It suggested that the adsorption mechanism of investigated inhibitors on Zn in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution involves two types of interaction, physisorption and chemisorption.2728

Effect of temperature

The effect of temperature on the corrosion rate of zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of different concentrations of the investigated chromones was studied at different temperatures (25−55 ℃) using weightloss measurements to calculate the activation parameters of the corrosion process and investigate the mechanism of inhibition.

The activation parameters E*a, ΔH* and ΔS* are calculated from Arrhenius plot (Eq. 6) and transition state-type equation (Eq. 7):29

where k is the corrosion rate of metal, A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea* is the apparent activation energy of the corrosion process, ΔH* is the activation enthalpy and ΔS* is the activation entropy.

Fig. 3 represents plot of log k versus (1/T) for zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of different concentrations of the investigated inhibitors. Straight lines were obtained with slope equal to −Ea*/2.303R. The activation energy value obtained 13.5 kJ mol−1 for 0.5 M H2SO4 and increased to 33.0 kJ mol−1 in the presence of 5×10−5 M of compound (a) and 28.6 kJ mol−1 in the presence of 5×10−5 M of compound (b) (Table 3 ). These values show that the presence of the additives increases the activation energy indicating a strong adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on zinc surface and the energy barrier caused by the adsorption of the additive molecules on zinc surface.

Figure 4.Arrhenius plots (log k/T vs.1/T) for zinc dissolution in 0.5 M H2SO4 in the absence and presence of different concentrations of compound (a).

Plots of log (k/T) vs 1/T are shown in Fig. 4. As shown from this Figure, straight lines with slope of (−ΔH*/ 2.303R) and intercept of (log (R/Nh) + ΔS*/2.303R). The increase in the activation enthalpy (ΔH*) in the presence of the inhibitors implies that the addition of the inhibitors to the acid solution increases the height of the energy barrier of the corrosion reaction to an extent depends on the type and concentration of the present inhibitor. The entropy of activation (ΔS*) in the blank and inhibited solutions is large and negative indicating that the activated complex represents association rather than dissociation step.30

Potentiodynamic Polarization Measurements

Fig. 5 shows the potentiodynamic polarization curves (E vs log i) of zinc dissolution in 0.5 M H2SO4 in the absence and presence of different concentrations of compound (a). Similar curves were obtained in presence of compound (b) (not shown). From this Figure, it is clearly seen that the presence of compound (a) shifts both the anodic and cathodic branches of the polarization curves of the pure acid solution to lower values of current density indicating the inhibition of both hydrogen evolution (HER) and Zn dissolution reactions. The corrosion potential (Ecorr), cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes (βc and βa), degree of surface coverage (θ) and percentage inhibition efficiency (% IE) were derived from the curves of Fig. 5, and recorded in Table 4. It is evident that by increasing the inhibitor concentration a decrease in corrosion current densities and an increase in inhibition percentage were observed, suggesting that the adsorption protective film tends to be more complete and stable on zinc surface and hence inhibition occurs. Thus, addition of the inhibitor hindered acid attack on the zinc electrode. The maximum inhibition efficiency (85.2%) was reached at an optimum concentration of 5×10−5 M of compound (a). A compound can be classified as a cathodic or an anodic type inhibitor when the change in Ecorr value is at least 85 mV in relation to that one measured for the blank solution.31 However, a shift of corrosion potential of compound (a) is about 19 mV and for compound (b) is 33 mV. Therefore, compounds (a and b) might acts as a mixed-type inhibitor without changing the mechanism of hydrogen evolution of zinc dissolution. The order of decreasing inhibition efficiency of the investigated chromones is as follows: a > b.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

The corrosion behavior of zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 in the absence and presence of different concentrations of chromones was investigated by the EIS method at 25 ℃. Fig. 6 shows the Nyquist plots for zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of different concentrations of compound (a). Similar curves were obtained for other chromones (b) (not shown). In 0.5 M H2SO4 solution and in the presence of various concentrations of inhibitors, the impedance diagrams show the same trend (one capacitive loop), however the diameter of this capacitive loop increases with increasing the inhibitor concentration, due to the increase in the number of adsorbed inhibitor molecules when the concentration was raised. The fact that impedance diagrams have an approximately semicircular appearance shows that the corrosion of zinc is controlled by a charge transfer process. Small distortion was observed in some diagrams, this distortion has been attributed to frequency dispersion.32 The equivalent circuit that describes our metal/electrolyte interface is shown in Fig. 7 where Rs, Rct and Cdl refer to solution resistance, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, respectively. The surface coverage (θ) and the inhibition efficiencies (% IE) were calculated from Eq. (4). The associated parameters with the impedance diagrams are given in Table 5. From the impedance results Table 5, we found that as the inhibitor concentration increased, Rct values increased, but Cdl values tended to decrease. The decrease in Cdl at the metal/solution interface with increasing the inhibitor concentration results from a decrease in local dielectric constant and/or an increase in the thickness of the electrical double layer, suggests that chromone derivatives function by adsorption at the metal/electrolyte interface.33 The increase in Rct values was caused by the gradual replacement of water molecules by the adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the metal surface to form an adherent film reducing the extent of dissolution.34 The order of inhibition efficiency obtained from EIS measurements decreases as follows: a > b.

Electrochemical Frequency Modulation Measurements (EFM)

The EFM is a non destructive corrosion measurement technique that can directly give values of the corrosion current without prior knowledge of Tafel constants. The theory of EFM technique is previously reported.3536 Fig. 8 shows the intermodulation spectra obtained from EFM measurements of zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in the absence and presence of different concentrations of the investigated compound (a). Similar curves were obtained for the other chromones (b) (not shown). The calculated corro-sion kinetic parameters at different concentrations of the chromones in 0.5 M H2SO4 at 25 ℃ (icorr, βa, βc, CF-2, CF-3 and %IE) is given in Table 6. From this Table, the corrosion current densities decrease and the inhibition efficiencies increase by increasing the concentration of investigated chromones. The great strength of the EFM is the causality factor, which serves as an internal check on the validity of the EFM measurement.37 Values of causality factors in Table 6 indicate that the measured data are of good quality. The standard values for CF-2 and CF-3 are 2.0 and 3.0, respectively. The deviation of causality factors from their ideal values might due to that the perturbation amplitude was too small or that the resolution of the frequency spectrum is not high enough. The order of inhibition efficiency obtained from EFM measurements decreases as follows: a > b.

The results obtained from EFM showed good agreement with the obtained from weight loss, polarization and EIS methods.

Mechanism of Inhibition

Corrosion inhibition of zinc in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution by the investigated chromones as indicated from chemical and electrochemical techniques was found to depend on the concentration and the nature of the inhibitors. It is generally, assumed that adsorption of the inhibitor at the metal/ solution interface is the first step in the action mechanism of the inhibitors in aggressive acid media. Four types of adsorption may take place during inhibition involving organic molecules at the metal / solution interface:38

i) Electrostatic attraction between charged molecules and charged metal ii) Interaction of unshared electrons pairs in the molecule with the metal iii) Interaction of π electrons with the metal and iv) A combination of the above. Concerning inhibitors, the inhibition efficiency depends on several factors; such as: (a) the number of adsorption sites and their charge density, (b) molecular size, heat of hydrogenation, (c) mode of interaction with the metal surface, and (d) the formation metallic complexes.39

Most organic inhibitors contain at least one polar group with an atom of nitrogen, sulfur or oxygen, each of them in principle representing an adsorption center. The inhibitive properties of such inhibitors depend on the electron densities surrounding the adsorption centers: the higher the electron density at the center, the more the effective the inhibitor. Also, it is apparent that the adsorption of these inhibitor molecules on the zinc surface could occur directly on the basis of donor-acceptor behavior between the lone pairs of the heteroatom and the extensively delocalized π-electrons of the inhibitor molecule and the vacant d-orbital of zinc surface atoms.40 These inhibitors are able to absorb on anodic sites through O atoms, heterocyclic and aromatic rings which are electron donating groups. The adsorption of these inhibitors on anodic sites may decrease anodic dissolution of zinc. In the aqueous acidic solutions, most of organic inhibitors exist either as neutral molecules or in the form of cations (protonated). In general two modes of adsorption could be considered. In our case, since Zn surface acquires negative charge in acidic solutions4142 and the investigated compounds are protonated in acidic media (acquire positive charge) the inhibitor molecules may adsorb on the zinc surface via the physisorption mechanism, involving the displacement of water molecules from the metal surface and the sharing electrons between the O atoms and zinc.

The order of increased inhibition efficiency for chromones is: a > b as indicated from the different methods. Inhibitor (a) is more efficient inhibitor due to its larger molecular size and the presence of three OCH3 groups which have higher electron donation character. On the other hand, inhibitor (b) is less effective inhibitor due to its lower molecular size and the presence of Br atom which has electron withdrawing character.

 

CONCLUSIONS

The investigated chromones are good inhibitors for zinc corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4. The potentiodynamic polarization data indicated that chromones are mixed type inhibitors and are adsorbed on Zn surface obeying Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The EIS measurements suggest that chromones inhibit the zinc dissolution by adsorption at metal surface thereby causing the decrease in Cdl values and increasing in Rct values. The results obtained from weight loss, polarization, EIS and EFM studies are in good agreement.
