Abstract

Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in sulfuric acid solution was performed by three synthesized products named 2-(butylamino)-4-phenylnicotinonitrile (BAPN), 2-(propylamino)-4-phenylnicotinonitrile, and 2-(methylamino)-4-phenylnicotinonitrile using weight-loss method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The temperature impact on the inhibition mechanism of the synthesized inhibitors of the carbon steel surface was investigated at various temperatures (20–50 °C) where the inhibitive efficiency diminished with increasing temperatures. The maximum IE of 97.45% was achieved at a temperature of 20 °C, the concentration of BAPN inhibitor of 5×10-4 M, and H2SO4 acid concentration of 0.5 M. The adsorption of inhibitors studied onto the carbon steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The SEM surface analysis showed the formation of a protective organic film on the steel surface. The quantum chemical calculations (DFT) supported the experimental results and showed that the inhibition efficiency also depends on the structure of the inhibitor.

Graphic abstract

Three inhibitors products based 2-Aminopyridine derivatives was studied on carbon steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Results of weight loss measurements and scanning electron microscopy image analyses are reported. In addition, quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) were performed to estimate theoretically the reactivity parameters of the inhibitor.
