Abstract

The effect of betanin (2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, 4-(2-(2-carboxy-5-(beta-D-glucopyr-anosyloxy)-2,3-dihydro-6-hydroxy-1H-indol-1-yl)ethenyl)-2,3-dihydro-(S-(R*,R*))) on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel has been investigated in 1 M HCl solution. Weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques were applied to study the mild steel corrosion behavior in the absence and presence of different concentrations of betanin under the influence of various experimental conditions. The results obtained showed that betanin is a good “green” inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution. Scanning electron microscopy observations of the steel surface confirmed the protective role of the inhibitor. The polarization curves showed that betanin behaves mainly as a mixed-type inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency (98%) is obtained at betanin concentrations of 0.01 M. The results obtained from weight loss, polarization, and impedance measurements are in good agreement.
