ABSTRACT

This paper gives an overview of the application of hydrazide derivatives in acid media as corrosion inhibitors of mild steel. In chemical and petrochemical industries, mild steel is the major constructional material widely used. Acid solutions have been commonly used in these industries as pickling agents to remove rust or any scale from the mild steel surface. The excessive dissolution of mild steel in such aggressive medium can be best controlled by addition of suitable organic inhibitors. Hydrazide derivatives are widely used in such applications as mild steel corrosion inhibitors. The various factors which influence the corrosion inhibition efficiency of different hydrazide derivatives have been discussed. The information provided is useful for various industries where corrosion inhibitors are needed to protect mild steel structures which are being exposed to hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solutions.

Keywords: Hydrazide derivatives, mild steel, acid media, corrosion inhibition, adsorption.

1. Introduction

Corrosion is an undesirable process that takes place by the reaction of an engineering material (such as metals, alloys) with its environment resulting in changes in the properties of the material. This may often lead to impairment of the function of the material and possibly the environment. The corrosion process usually occurs through chemical or electrochemical reactions because of the natural tendency of pure metals to return back to their thermodynamically stable compound state. Metallic corrosion is considered as a global calamity of major importance and costs about several billion dollars every year.¹ Therefore, it is necessary to give prime importance to metallic corrosion because of the increasing use of metals in all fields of technology and increasing pollution resulting in the more corrosive environment. Corrosion inhibition studies are also important to conserve the world metal resources by putting control over metallic corrosion. Hence, research and development in the field of corrosion and corrosion inhibition finds great importance in order to reduce corrosion damages and to conserve economic resources of the nation in all branches of technology.²

 

2. Mild Steel Corrosion in Acid Medium

Mild steel is a carbon steel which contains up to 0.3 % carbon.

It finds wide applications in chemical, petrochemical, and oil refinery industry because of its good mechanical properties and low cost.³ Mild steel is an important material of construction for chemical storage tanks, oil and gas pipelines, heat exchangers and boiler systems. Acid solutions are employed as pickling and descaling agents in many industries. Among the mineral acids, hydrochloric and sulphuric acids are commonly used in such applications. However, the usage of hydrochloric acid in such industrial applications is economical, efficient and trouble-free.⁴ In acid chloride solution, the dissolution of mild steel may be represented as ⁵

In acid sulfate solution, the dissolution of mild steel may be represented as⁶

Mostly a convenient and economical method for controlling metallic corrosion is the proper modification of the corrosive medium by the addition of the suitable inhibitor.

 

3. Corrosion Inhibitors

The corrosion inhibitor is a substance which upon adding in small quantities to the corroding medium drastically reduces the corrosion rate of metals. They are usually added either continuously or intermittently in small amounts to the corrosive medium to provide required control against corrosion. The selection of suitable corrosion inhibitor for any application depends on the nature of the metal, the concentration, temperature, and flow rate of the corrosive medium. An inhibitor can control the rate of corrosion either by reducing the rate of anodic or cathodic or both corrosion reactions. Depending upon the mode of their action, corrosion inhibitors may be classified as anodic, cathodic and mixed type inhibitors.

Anodic inhibitors usually control the anodic reaction by polarizing it and shifting the corrosion potential towards the positive direction. This decreases the corrosion current and finally controls the corrosion rate. Chromates, nitrates, tungstate, and molybdates are some examples for anodic inhibitors. On the other hand, cathodic inhibitors control cathode reaction by polarizing it and displacing the corrosion potential towards the negative direction. They retard the cathodic reaction and reduce the corrosion rate. Examples of cathodic inhibitors are phosphates, silicates and borates. Substances which control both cathodic and anodic reaction are called mixed inhibitors. Generally, organic compounds act as mixed inhibitors which control both metal dissolution and cathodic reaction. Hence they reduce the corrosion rate and control corrosion. Organic corrosion inhibitors are extensively employed in chemical, petrochemical and oil exploration industries. Therefore, the development of new organic corrosion inhibitors which are less costly with improved performance and better environmental profiles is essential. The following factors become important while selecting a suitable organic corrosion inhibitor: (i) it should be readily available and cheap; (ii) the inhibitor molecule should have heteroatoms (N, O, or S), multiple bonds and/or aromatic rings. Such compounds show better adsorption and inhibition performance; (iii) it should be soluble and stable in the medium where it is being used and (iv) it should be environmentally friendly.⁷

 

4. Hydrazide Derivatives

Hydrazides derivatives are the type of organic compounds containing a nitrogen-nitrogen covalent bond with one of the substituents being an acyl group. Hydrazides and their derivatives have gained prominence because of their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiplatelet, antimalarial, analgesic and antioxidant activity.^8,9 In addition to this they are also employed as potential inhibitors for controlling corrosion of many metals including mild steel.

 

5. Inhibition of Mild Steel Corrosion

Literature survey reveals that hydrazide derivatives have been extensively studied for their corrosion inhibitive performance in acid medium towards mild steel.

The inhibitory effect of some acid hydrazides¹⁰ namely, salicylic acid hydrazide (HD₁), anthranilic acid hydrazide (HD₂), benzoic acid hydrazide (HD₃) and cinnamic acid hydrazide (HD₄), and also some oleochemical based hydrazides¹¹ like decanohydrazide (HD₅), dodecanohydrazide (HD₆), hexa-decanohydrazide (HD₇), and octadecanohydrazide (HD₈)in1M HCl medium towards corrosion of mild steel have been investigated. The inhibition performance of all the tested compounds increased with their concentration. The adsorption of the acid hydrazides (HD₁,HD₂,HD₃&HD₄) followed Temkin adsorption isotherm, whereas that of oleochemical hydrazides (HD₅,HD₆, HD₇ &HD₈) obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The polarization results indicate the mixed inhibitor behaviour of the compounds except for HD₁, which has shown cathodic type behaviour. In the case of acid hydrazides the inhibition performance was found to be in the order: HD₁<HD₂ <HD₃ <HD₄, whereas in oleochemical hydrazides it was found to be in the order: HD₈ <HD₇ <HD₅ <HD₆ Inhibition efficiency of acid hydrazides decreased (HD₁:38to36%,HD₂:39to34%,HD₃: 87 to 85 % and HD₄: 92 to 87 %) with an increase in temperature (35 to 65 °C) at 500 ppm.

Larabi el at.¹²have investigated the influence of hydrazide derivatives such as oxalic N-phenylhydrazide-N'-phenyl-thiosemicarbazide (HD₉) and N-phenyl oxalic dihydrazide (HD₁₀) in 1M HCl towards corrosion inhibition of mild steel by electrochemical measurements. Both the tested compounds acted as mixed inhibitor and their adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption of compounds HD₉ and HD₁₀ take place by chemisorption and physisorption, respectively. The maximum efficiency of 92 % (HD₉) and 79 % (HD₁₀) respectively are obtained at 5 x 10^-4 M concentration and 298 K. The inhibition efficiency of HD₉ increased (92 to 96 %) and HD₁₀ decreased (78 to 73 %) with the rise in temperature (298 to 318 K).

Shanbhag el at.¹³have reported the application of some hydrazide derivative such as N'-[(1E)-(4-hydroxy phenyl) methylene] isonicotinohydrazide (HD₁₁) and N'-[(1E)-(4-hydroxyl-3-methoxy phenyl) methylene] isonicotinohydrazide (HD₁₂)in 1 M HCl medium as mild steel corrosion inhibitors. Inhibitory efficiency of both the compounds increased with their concentration but decreased (74 to 54 % for HD₁₁ and 81to56 % for HD₁₂) with the rise in temperature (303 to 333 K). The results of weight loss method showed a maximum efficiency of 74 % (HD₁₁) and 81 % (HD₁₂)at25x10^-5 M concentration, respectively. Both the tested compounds acted as mixed inhibitor and their adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm model. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of the inhibited samples clearly indicated the formation of a film on mild steel surface.

Saliyan and Adhikari have tested the inhibition behaviour of Quinolin-5-ylmethylene-3-{[8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl] thio}propanohydrazide (HD₁₃)¹⁴in 1 and 2 M HCl solution towards corrosion of mild steel and they also studied the inhibitory action of 3-{[8-(triflouromethyl) quinolene-4-yl]thio}-N'-(2,3,4-trihydroxybenzylidine)propane hydrazide (HD₁₄)¹⁵inHCl and H₂SO₄ media towards mild steel. Both the compounds HD₁₃ and HD₁₄ acted as an anodic inhibitor. The adsorption of both the compounds takes place by chemisorption and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Inhibition efficiency of tested compounds (HD₁₃ &HD₁₄) increased with their concentration. It was found that increase in solution temperature decreased the inhibitory efficiency of compound HD₁₃but increased the inhibitory efficiency of compound HD₁₄. The compound HD₁₃ showed the maximum inhibitory efficiency of 91 % in 1M HCl and 86 % in 2M HCl respectively at 500 ppm concentration and at 40 °C. The compound HD₁₄ showed the maximum efficiency of 94.8 % in 1M HCl and 98.5 % in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ respectively at 11.086 x 10^-4 M concentration and at 60 °C.

The inhibition effect of N', N'-Dialkylhydrazides [C₄H₉CH (C₂H₅) C(O)NHN(R)₂,R=C₂H₅(HD₁₅), C3H7(H₁₆), C4H9 (HD₁₇), C₅H¹¹ (HD₁₈)] in 0.1 and 1 M HCl as corrosion inhibitor of ST 20 steel has been studied by Shcherban el al.¹⁶using electrochemical and gravimetric methods. The tested hydrazide compounds have acted as a mixed inhibitor. An increase in chain length (R= C₂H₅to C₅H₁₁) of the hydrazide resulted in the increase of inhibition power. Hydrazide HD₁₈ showed the maximum efficiency of 73 % at 0.1 g L^-1 in 1M HCl. Toliwaland Jadav¹⁷have synthesized 2-alkyl-N-methylenehydrazinecabothiaoamide of fatty acid hydrazides from neem (HD₁₉), rice ban (HD₂₀) and karanja (HD₂₁) oils, and evaluated their performance in hydrochloric acid solution as inhibitors against mild steel corrosion by weight loss method. All the hydrazide derivatives acted as mixed inhibitors and their adsorption obeyed Langmuir isotherm model. Inhibition performance of these compounds increased with their concentration, acid concentration up to 3 N and solution temperature (30-50 °C). Further increase in acid concentration up to 5 N caused a decrease in inhibition efficiency because of increased aggressiveness of the acid medium. The order of inhibition efficiency of these hydrazide derivatives was found to be HD₁₉ < HD₂₀ <HD₂₁. The maximum inhibition efficiencies shown by these compounds in 1 N HCl are 83 % (HD₁₉), 86 (HD₂₀) and 89(HD₂₁) respectively at 500 ppm concentration.

Khaled el al.¹⁸have studied the inhibitive performance of 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HD₂₂)in1 M HCl solution towards the corrosion of mild steel. The efficiency of the inhibitor compound increased with its concentration whereas it decreased with a rise in solution temperature. The compound HD₂₂ showed mixed inhibitor behaviour. Maximum inhibition efficiency of 94 % was obtained at 10^-2 M concentration of HD₂₂ and at 30 °C. Inhibition takes place by mixed adsorption and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. A study on the inhibition performance of benzo hydrazide derivatives such as N-benzylidene benzo hydrazide (HD₂₃) and N'-(3-phenylallylidene) benzo hydrazide (HD₂₄)in1MHCl towards corrosion of mild steel has been reported.¹⁹ The inhibition performance of these compounds increased with their concentration and decreased with a rise in temperature. The adsorption takes place through chemisorption and obeyed Langmuir isotherm model. Maximum inhibition efficiency obtained was 97 % at the optimal inhibitor concentration. The surface morphology analysis confirmed the film formation by inhibitor molecules on mild steel surface. Chakravarthy and Mohana²⁰ have reported the synthesis of some isonicotinic acid hydrazides namely, isonicotinic acid (1H-indol-3-yl-methylene)hydrazide (HD₂₅) and isonicotinic acid (1H-pyrrol-2-yl-methylene)hydra-zide (HD₂₆), and study of their inhibitive characteristics in 0.5 M HCl against corrosion of mild steel. Polarization results indicated the mixed type behaviour of compounds, HD₂₅ and HD₂₆. The inhibitory performance of both the compounds increased with their concentration and decreased with a rise temperature from 30 to 60 °C. Adsorption of both the inhibitor compounds followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Maximum inhibitor efficiency greater than 80 % was obtained by both HD₂₅ and HD₂₆ at 500 ppm in 0.5M HCl solution at 30 °C. The protective film formation by inhibitor compounds on mild steel surface has been confirmed by SEM images and spectral analysis.

Fouda el al.,²¹have reported the corrosion inhibition behaviour of some benzo hydrazide derivatives like (E)-N'-((furan-2-yl) methylene)-2-methyl benzo hydrazide (HD₂₇), (E)-N'-((furan-2-yl) methylene)-hydroxy benzo hydrazide (HD₂₈) and (E)-2-chloro-N'-((furan-2-yl) methylene) benzo hydrazide (HD₂₉)in 2M HCl medium against mild steel at 30 °C. Inhibition performance of these compounds increased with their concentration and decreased with rise in temperature. The tested compounds have showed mixed inhibitor behaviour. The maximum inhibitory efficiency of more than 80 % was obtained at 15 x 10^-5 M concentration of all the tested compounds. The adsorption of all the inhibitors obeyed Temkin adsorption isotherm and adsorption takes place through physisorption. The presence of halide ions (Cl^- and Br^-) has increased the inhibition efficiency of these benzo hydrazide derivatives due to a synergistic effect.

Pradeep Kumar and Mohana²² have examined the inhibition properties of hydrazide derivatives namely, 4-(4-bromo-phenyl)-N'-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)thiazole-2-carbohydra-zide (HD₃₀), 4-(4-bromo phenyl)-N'-(4-methoxybenzyl idene)thiazole-2-carbohydrazide (HD₃₁), and 4-(4-bromo phenyl)-N'-(4-hydroxy benzylidene) thiazole-2 carbohydrazide (HD₃₂) in 0.5 M HCl medium against mild steel corrosion. The polarization results indicated the mixed type behaviour of all the tested compounds. Inhibition power of all the compounds increased with their concentration whereas it decreased with a rise in temperature. Inhibition takes place through mixed adsorption and followed Langmuir isotherm model. The inhibition performance of the tested compounds followed the decreasing order: HD₃₀ >HD₃₂ >HD₃₁. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 91 % was obtained by the compound HD₃₀at 1.1 mM concentration. The height inhibition efficiency showed by the compound HD₃₀ was due to the two methoxy groups attached to the aromatic ring.

Gupta el al.²³have evaluated the corrosion inhibition performance of ferrocene carboxaldehyde propanoylhydrazone (HD₃₃) and ferrocene carboxaldehyde furoylhydrazone (HD₃₄) in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ towards mild steel at 298 K. As concentration increases, corrosion inhibition property of the compounds also increases. The compound HD₃₄has shown better inhibition efficiency than HD₃₃. The presence of extra oxygen atom and p-elec-trons of furan ring in HD₃₄ enhanced its adsorption and hence increased the efficiency. The maximum inhibitory efficiency of 91 % was obtained by the compound HD₃₄ at 100 ppm concentration.

Preethi Kumari el al. have reported the corrosion inhibition properties of (2E)-2-(3-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzylidene) hydrazine carbothioamide (HD₃₅)^24,25 and 2-(3,4,5-trimethoxy benzylidene)hydrazine carbothioamide (HD₃₆)²⁶ in HCl solution against mild steel using Tafel polarization and electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Polarization results indicated the mixed inhibitor behaviour of all the tested compounds. Inhibition takes place by mixed adsorption and followed Langmuir isotherm model. Inhibition performance all these compounds increased with their concentration and medium temperature. The maximum inhibitorefficiencyof94% (HD₃₅) and 95 % (HD₃₆) was obtained respectively at 0.8 mM concentration. The formation of protective films by adsorption of these inhibitors was confirmed by SEM images. The adsorption behaviours of N'-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (HD₃₇)²⁷, 4-hydroxy-N'-[(E)-(1H-indole-2-ylmethylidene)] benzo hydrazide (HD₃₈)²⁸ and 4-hydroxyN'-[(1E, 2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylidene]benzo-hydrazide (HD₃₉)²⁹ in HCl solution towards mild steel corrosion have been tested. The inhibition efficiency of all the tested compounds increased with increase in their concentration. It was observed that an increase in the solution temperature in the case of HD₃₈and HD₃₉,and a decrease in the solution temperature in the case of HD₃₇ have resulted in the increase of inhibition efficiency. All the tested compounds have showed mixed inhibitor behaviour. Inhibition takes place by mixed adsorption and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The maximum inhibition efficiency showed by the tested compounds at 60 °C are 84 % (HD₃₇ in 2M HCl), 94 % (HD₃₈ in IM HCl) and 92 % (HD₃₉ in 0.5M HCl), respectively.

Yadav el al.³⁰have investigated the effect of acetohydrazides namely, N'-[(1Z)- phenylmethylene]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy) acetohydrazide (HD₄₀) and N'-[(1Z)-4-chlorophenyl-methylene]-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy) acetohydrazide (HD₄₁)in15% HCl towards the corrosion of mild steel. The inhibition performance of both the compounds increased with their concentration, whereas it decreased with a rise in temperature. The compounds HD₄₀ and HD₄₁ have shown mixed inhibitor behaviour. The adsorption of the inhibitors takes place by mixed adsorption predominantly with physisorption and obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Atomic Force Microscopy, SEM, and Energy Dispersion X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) results have confirmed the protective film on the mild steel. Maximum inhibitory efficiency exhibited at 400 ppm was found to be 95.1 % (HD₄₀) and 94.2 % (HD₄₁) respectively at 303 K. Abdallah el al.³¹ have reported the synthesis of a new hydrazide derivative namely, 2-(2-hydrazinyl-1, 6-dihydro-6-oxopyrimidin-4-yl) aceto hydrazide (HD₄₂) and evaluated its inhibition activity in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H₂SO₄ media towards mild steel corrosion. The inhibitor compound has showed better performance in HCl medium than that in the H₂SO₄ medium. The compound HD₄₂ has showed cathodic inhibitor behaviour in both acid medium and maximum inhibition performance of 90 % at5x10^-2 Min HCl solution. The adsorption takes place by physisorption of HD₄₂ and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Al-Amiery el al ³² have reported the corrosion inhibition study on mild steel using azelaic acid dihydrazide (HD₄₃)in1MHCl medium. Polarization measurements indicate the mixed type behaviour of inhibitor compound. The inhibition efficiency of the compound increased with its concentration_, whereas decreased with a rise in solution temperature. Maximum inhibitor efficiency of 93 % was observed at 5 x 10^-3 M and 30 °C. The adsorption process of the inhibitor molecules followed Langmuir isotherm model. The SEM images gave evidence for the formation of a film on mild steel surface. Mohd el al ³³ have examined the inhibitive actions of fatty acid derivatives namely, palmitate hydrazide (HD₄₄), N-ethylidene palmitate hydrazide (HD₄₅) and N-phenyl methylidene palmitate hydrazide (HD₄₆) in 1M HCl towards mild steel corrosion using linear polarization and EIS techniques. Inhibitor efficiency increased with inhibitor concentrations and temperature of the acid medium. All the tested compounds have showed mixed inhibitor behaviour. The inhibition performance was found to be in the order: HD₄₆ > HD₄₅ >HD₄₄. The compound, HD₄₆ has shown better performance (85 % at 200 mg L^-1 and 308 K) due to the phenyl group in the moiety, which allowed the interaction of delocalized p-elec-trons with empty d-orbital of Fe atom. Inhibition takes place by mixed type adsorption of inhibitor molecules, which followed Langmuir isotherm model. SEM and EDX results confirmed the protective film formation by inhibitor compounds on the metal surface.

Preethi Kumari el al ³⁴ have evaluated the corrosion inhibition performance of 2-[(2-methylquinolin-8-yl)oxy]acetohydrazide (HD₄₇) in hydrochloric acid (0.5&1M) media towards mild steel. The inhibition performance of HD₄₇ increased with its concentration. Polarization results indicate the mixed inhibitor behaviour of the compound HD₄₇. Inhibition efficiency of HD₄₇ increased with a rise in temperature in 0.5 M HCl medium. This indicated the chemisorption of HD₄₇ molecules on the metal surface. However, inhibition efficiency decreased with a rise in temperature in 1 M HCl medium. This may be due to the highly aggressive nature of acid which overcomes the inhibitory action of the compound at a higher temperature. Further, an increase in temperature might have lead to desorption of inhibitor molecules from the metal surface which resulted in a decrease in inhibitor efficiency. Inhibition process takes place by mixed adsorption and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The maximum inhibitory efficiency of 91 % (in 0.5 M HCl at 60 °C) and 85 % (in 1M HCl at 30 °C) was obtained at 10^-3 M concentration of HD₄₇.

 

6. Mechanism of Corrosion Inhibition

Generally, inhibition of corrosion of metals takes place by adsorption of inhibitor molecules onto the metal surface. The inhibitor may get adsorbed on the surface either by replacing molecules of a solvent with ions or by replacing molecules of water with inhibitor molecules. The extent of adsorption process possible depends on the physicochemical properties of metal, inhibitor, and medium involved. The types of interaction that can take place during the adsorption of inhibitor may be physisorption or chemisorption or both.

Physisorption usually involves electrostatic forces of attraction between inhibitor molecules and the metal surface. This type of interaction is possible when the electrically charged metal surface, as well as inhibitor species, is present in the corrosive medium. For instance, mild steel surface in hydrochloric acid medium gets a negative charge because of the primary adsorption of chloride ions. This negatively charged surface can attract positively charged protonated inhibitor molecules facilitating physical adsorption. Generally, it is a weak type of adsorption which decreases with increase in temperature.³⁵

Chemisorption can take place by sharing or transfer of electrons between inhibitor molecule and metal leading to a co-ordinate bond. Organic inhibitor compounds containing hetero atoms (N, S or O), double or triple bonds and an aromatic ring, and metal containing an empty orbital of lower energy can favour the formation of a coordinate type of bond.³⁶ The extent of chemisorption usually increases with a rise in temperature.³⁷

 

7. Conclusion

Hydrazide derivatives are found to be the potential acid corrosion inhibitors of mild steel. The majority of hydrazide derivatives have shown mixed inhibitor behaviour controlling anodic as well as cathodic corrosion reactions. Inhibition takes place by adsorption and followed either Langmuir or Temkin isotherm model. The SEM, EDX and FTIR analysis of inhibited mild steel specimen surface confirmed the film formation by the inhibitor molecules on mild steel surface. The inhibition performance of all the hydrazide derivatives increased with their concentration. The performance of some hydrazide derivatives increased and others decreased with increase in acid solution temperature. Hydrazide derivatives with additional hetero atoms (N, O, S), aromatic rings and electron donating groups have shown better inhibition performance. Those hydrazide derivatives which have shown inhibition efficiency greater than 90 % are most suitable for any industrial application as corrosion inhibitors of mild steel.
