Abstract
The inhibitory effect of the crude ethyl acetate extract of Saccocalyx satureioides was estimated on the corrosion of carbon steel (X52) in 1 M HCl solution sing weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Potentiodynamic polarization curves indicated that the plants extract behaves as a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the carbon steel surface was found to follow Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The free energies, enthalpies and entropies for the adsorption and dissolution process were discussed in details. The inhibiting action increases with increasing concentration of the extract. The results obtained show that the extract of the aerial parts of Saccocalyx satureioides could serve as an effective corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel (X52) in hydrochloric acid medium.

Introduction
Metals and alloys are frequently used in industrial applications due to their convenience and low cost. Among these, carbon steel is one of the most important alloys which are continually used. Unfortunately, it suffers serious acid corrosion.
To prevent carbon steel against acid corrosion, inhibitors are often used. Unfortunately, some of them are not environmentally friendly. Therefore, the uses of eco-friendly and biodegradable products are preferred. Recently, many published works shown that some naturally occurring substances have corrosion inhibitor properties for different metals in various environments [1–6].
Saccocalyx satureioides (Lamiaceae) is an Algerian endemic species, which grows in the dunes of the pre-desert area. This plant is 20–100 cm high. Its flowers can be white, rose or crimson [7]. Various studies reported the chemical composition of S. satureioides oils obtained from the same plant but collected in North and Northeast of Algeria. Some of these investigation reported that this species reveal a strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella [8–10]. Moreover, a research work reported by Mohamadi et al. [11] revealed the identification of seventeen compounds from S. satureioides: piceol, vanillin, ferulic aldehyde, 3,3′-bis (3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6,8-dimethoxy-2H-1-benzopyran), 3,3-bis (3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2H-1-benzopyran), dimethylcaffeic acid, balanophonin, 7-methyl-sudachitin, caffeicacid, p-coumaric acid, isoscutellarein-7-O-[β-d-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]β-d-glucopyranoside, isoscutellarein-7-O-[β-d-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-6″-O-acetyl-β-d-lucopyranoside, isoscutellarein-7-O-[6″′-O-acetyl-β-d-allopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-d-glucopyranoside, quercetin, isoscutellarein-7-O-[6″′-O-acetyl- β-d-allo pyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-6″-O-acetyl–d β-glucopyranoside, apigenin-7-O-[6″-trans-p-coumaroyl]-β-d-glucopyranoside and sideritiflavone.
In this work, we describe the testing of ethyl acetate extract parts S. satureioides as corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel (X52) in HCl solution, using weight loss and electrochemical techniques, such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
Experimental
Plant material
The aerial part of Saccocalyx satureioides was picked up during June 2011, in El Masrane near Djelfa, Algeria. After identification, a voucher specimen was deposited in the Herbarium of the Museum of natural history of Nice city (Voucher number B-6309).
Extraction and isolation
The air-dried aerial parts of S. satureioides (800 g) were extracted three times with boiling methyl alcohol (70 %). The hydro-alcoholic solutions were concentrated in vacuum to aridness and the residue was dissolved in hot water and kept overnight at room temperature. After filtration, the aqueous solution was successively treated with ethyl acetate and n-butanol, and then their extracts were concentrated to dryness [12, 13].
Materials
Carbon steel (X52), with the chemical composition displayed in Table 1, was used in this study. Coupons of carbon steel (X52) with dimensions 1.0 × 0.8 × 0.4 cm were used for weight loss measurements. For electrochemical measurements, a steel cube embedded in epoxy resin, leaving an exposed surface area of 0.8 cm2 as a working electrode. The coupons were abraded with different grade of emery papers, (600, 800, 1200 and 2000), degreased with acetone and rinsed with distillated water, before its immersion in 1 M HCl with and without the addition of different concentrations of Saccocalyx satureioides ethyl acetate extract (SSE).
Corrosion tests
Weight loss measurements
Weight loss measurements were conducted under total immersion in stagnant aerated condition using 250 mL capacity beakers containing 150 ml test solution at 293–323 K maintained in a thermostated water bath. Carbon steel (X52) coupons were weighed and suspended in the previous beakers. After 6 h, the coupons were taken out, washed in distilled water, dried and then weighed. From the weight loss values, corrosion rates (Cr), surface coverage and the inhibition efficiency IE (%) were calculated using the expressions [14]:
where ΔW is the weight loss, A is the sectional area of carbon steel (X52), t is the exposure time.
where θ the surface coverage, Cr0 and Cr i are the corrosion rates of the carbon steel (X52) coupons in absence and presence of inhibitor, respectively.
Potentiodynamic polarization measurement
All electrochemical measurements were carried out using a computer controlled Voltalab PGZ 301 instrument with Voltamaster software at room temperature, without and with the addition of different concentrations of SSE to 1 M HCl solution. Open circuit potential (E ocp), was measured for 60 min to allow stabilization of the steady state potential. The potential of the potentiodynamic polarization curves ranged from a cathodic potential of −100 mV to an anodic potential of +100 mV versus OCP at a scan rate of 1 mV s−1. The inhibition efficiency IE (%) was calculated using the relation:
where i corr and i corr(i) are the corrosion current density without and with the addition of the inhibitor, respectively.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were carried out using the same instrument described above with the open circuit potential. Every sample was immersed for 30 min over a frequency range of 100 kHz–0.01 Hz with applied potential signal amplitude of 5 mV. The percentage inhibition efficiency IE (%) was calculated from,
where R 0 and R i are charge transfer resistance of carbon steel (X52) in uninhibited and inhibited solutions, respectively.
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
The specimens used to examine the surface morphology were prepared as described above then immersed in 1 M HCl in the absence and presence of 900 mg L−1 SSE at room temperature. SEM images were taken for specimens that have been submerged for 6 h. The SEM used was a JEOL model JSM 6390LV.
Results and discussion
Weight loss measurements
Corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency of carbon steel (X52) in 1 M HCl solution at 293–323 K in the absence and presence SSE were shown in Table 2. From the values obtained, it is clear that the presence of inhibitor leads to a reduction of the corrosion rate. It is indicated that inhibition efficiency of carbon steel (X52) rises with increasing SSE concentration up to 87 % at 293 K (Fig. 1a). Several scientists in their studies (Table 3) reported similar results [2, 4, 6, 15–19], which confirm that the SSE act as effective inhibitors. The evolution in inhibition efficiency may be attributed to the adsorption of the particles at the carbon steel (X52) surfaces [20]. As the temperature increases, the corrosion rate (Cr) increases and inhibition efficiency decreases (Fig. 1b). This suggests a probable desorption of some adsorbed inhibitor from the steel surface at higher temperature. This behavior indicates that the phytochemical components are physically adsorbed on the carbon steel surface [14].
Adsorption isotherm
The degrees of surface coverage (θ) for different inhibitor concentrations were calculated by weight loss data. The surface coverage values were fitted to different adsorption isotherm models, including Langmuir, Frumkin, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms, and the best results revealed by the correlation coefficient (r 2) were obtained with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm for all considered temperatures. Figure 2 shows the plot of logθ versus logC for SSE at 293–323 K.
Freundlich adsorption isotherm could be represented using the following equation:
where 0 < n < 1; θ is the surface coverage, C is the inhibitor concentration and K ads is the adsorption constant. The K ads values presented in the Table 4 were calculated from the intercept lines on the logθ axis.
Table 4 shows that K ads values decrease with increasing temperature. This result can be interpreted in a way that the temperature rise up induce desorption of some adsorbed components of the extracts from the surface. It is indeed consistent with the proposed physisorption mechanism [14].
Thermodynamic parameters
The standard adsorption free energy (ΔG 0ads ) can be calculated on the basis equation [21, 22]:
where R is the gas constant, T the absolute temperature (K) and CH2O is the concentration of water expressed in mg L−1 with an approximate value of 106. It should be noted that the unit of CH2O lies in that of K ads [23].
The standard adsorption enthalpy (ΔH 0ads ) could be calculated using Van’t Hoff equation [25]:
Equation (6) can be rewritten as:
where I is a constant of integration. Figure 3 presents straight lines of ln K ads versus \({\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 T}}\right.\kern-0pt} \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$T$}}\) with good linear relationship (the linear correlation coefficients is 0.9970). ΔH 0ads values calculated from the slope (\(- \frac{{\Delta H_{\text{ads}}^{ 0} }}{R}\)) and listed in Table 5.
From the obtained values of ΔG 0ads and ΔH 0ads parameters, the standard adsorption entropy (ΔS 0ads ) can be calculated using the thermodynamic Gibbs–Helmholtz equation:
All thermodynamic parameters are recorded in Table 5. The negative values of ΔG 0ads specify the spontaneity of the adsorption process [20]. In the present work, the calculated value of the adsorption free energy lies between −25.04 and −26.61 kJ mol−1. It is less than the −40 kJ mol−1 required for chemical adsorption. Allows with the decrease of IE (%) with increasing temperature confirm the mechanism of physical adsorption [18]. The negative sign of ΔH 0ads shows that the adsorption of inhibitor is an exothermic process [25, 26]. For physisorption, ΔG 0ads is in the order of 40 kJ mol−1 while for chemisorption, ΔH 0ads approaches 100 kJ mol−1 [27].
Activation parameters of the corrosion process
The temperature has a great effect on the rate electrochemical corrosion of metal. It is apparent from the Fig. 1b, that inhibition efficiency declines with increasing temperature. The reliance of corrosion rate on temperature can be stated by the Arrhenius equation [19]:
Ea is the apparent activation energy of the carbon steel (X52) dissolution and D is the Arrhenius pre-exponential factor. The logarithm of the Cr versus 1/T can be characterized by straight lines and the activation energy values were calculated from Arrhenius plots: (Fig. 4a).
The values of activation energy enumerated in Table 6 are higher in the presence of the SSE than in its absence. It may be attributed to the geometric blocking effect of adsorbed inhibitive species on the metal surface [28]. Further inspection of Table 6 also revealed that Ea increases with increase in SSE concentration. This means that the corrosion reaction will further be pushed to surface sites that are characterized by progressively higher values of Ea in the presence of extracts [29].
The enthalpy, ΔH 0ads and entropy, ΔS 0ads of activation for the corrosion process, the alternative formulation of Arrhenius equation was used [28, 29]:
where h is the Planck’s constant, N a is Avogadro’s number. A plot of \(\frac{{\ln {\text{Cr}}}}{T}\) vs. \(\frac{1}{T}\) gave a straight line (Fig. 4b) with a slope of \(- \frac{\Delta H}{RT}\) and an intercept of \(\ln \frac{R}{{{\text{N}}_{\text{a}} h}} + \Delta S_{\text{a}}\), from which the values of \(\Delta S_{\text{a}}^{ 0}\) and ΔH a were calculated and registered in Table 6. The positive signs of enthalpies indicate the endothermic nature of the dissolution process [30].
The values of \(\Delta S_{\text{a}}^{ 0}\) given in Table 6 are positive and get improved in the presence of extracts. This behavior can be explicated as a result of the replacement process of water molecules during adsorption of SSE on the steel surface [27]. This observation is in agreement with many studies that have been reported by several authors [31–35].
Open circuit potential measurement
Figure 5 presents the variation of the open circuit potential (E OCP) of the carbon steel (X52) vs time in 1 M HCl solution. Apparently, E OCP remains almost unchanged, which indicate that the working electrode (WE) attains the steady state.
Polarization measurement
The anodic and cathodic polarization curves of carbon steel (X52) in 1 M HCl solution devoid and containing increasing concentrations of SSE are shown in Fig. 6. The respective kinetic parameters derived from the above plots are given in Table 7. It was demonstrated from the data that the addition of SSE shrank the corrosion current density (i corr). The decrease may be due to the adsorption of the inhibitor on metal/acid interface [35].
In existence of SSE both cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes (β c, β a) decrease. This result indicates that the SSE is a mixed-type inhibitor acting on both hydrogen evolution reaction and metal dissolution [36]. E corr nearly does not change in the presence of SSE. According to Li and Moretti [24, 37], the inhibition category belongs to geometric blocking effect. That is, the inhibition action manifest through the reduction of the reaction area on the surface of the corroding metal [23].
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
The corrosion of carbon steel (X52) in 1 M HCl solution in the presence of plant extract was investigated by EIS at room temperature after an exposure period of 30 min. Impedance graphs (Fig. 7) are obtained for frequency range 100 kHz–0.01 Hz at the open circuit potential for steel in 1 M HCl in absence and presence of SSE, and the values of charge transfer resistance (R ct) and double-layer capacitance (C dl) are presented in Table 8. Figure 7 showed that the impedance spectra display only one capacitive loop, which indicated that the corrosion of steel is mainly controlled by a charge transfer process [29, 38]. It is also clear that these are not impeccable semicircles and this difference has been attributed to frequency dispersion and the heterogeneity of the metal surface [19]. On the other hand, it is clear from the plots that the size of these loops raises on increasing extract concentration. This suggests that the formed inhibitive film was strengthened by the addition of plant extract [39].
The impedance spectra for Nyquist plots were analyzed by fitting to equivalent circuit model (Fig. 8), which was used to describe carbon steel/solution interface. A simple electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) has been proposed to model the experimental data. In this EEC, R 1 is the solution resistance, R ct is the charge transfer resistance and Q is identified with the capacity. Generally, when a non-ideal frequency reply is present, it is usually accepted to replace the double-layer capacitance by constant phase element (CPE) [36]. Excellent fit with this model was obtained for all experimental data. As an example, the Nyquist plots for 1 M HCl alone and at 900 mg L−1 are presented in Figs. 9 and 10, respectively.
The values of the C dl can be calculated from CPE parameter and R ct according to the following equation [21]:
n is the deviation parameter of the CPE: 0 ≤ 0 ≤ 1, for n = 1, Eq. (13) agrees to the impedance of an ideal capacitor, where Q is identified with the capacity.
The electrochemical parameters including R ct, Q and n, obtained from fitting are listed in Table 8. In the Table 8, are also given the calculated “double-layer capacitance” values, derived from the CPE parameters. Furthermore, the estimates of the margins of error calculated for the parameters are presented in Table 8.
From the impedance parameters (Table 8), it is clear that the R ct values increase with inhibitor concentration, and thus the inhibition efficiency rises to 86 % at 900 mg L−1. The values of double-layer capacitance are also brought down to the maximum extent in the presence of SSE and the decrease in the values of C dl follows the order similar to that obtained for i corr in this study. The decrease in C dl is due to the adsorption of the SSE on carbon steel (X52) surface leading to the formation of a film from the acidic solution [33].
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken to study the surface morphology of carbon steel (X52) in the absence and presence of SSE as an inhibitor. SEM images are given in Fig. 11. The carbon steel (X52) sample dipped in the inhibitor solutions has apparently smooth surface when compared with that of rough corroded specimen immersed in HCl alone. This improvement in surface morphology indicates the formation of a protective layer on the steel surface which decreases the material degradation [40].
Inhibition mechanism
Most of the Saccocalyx satureioides extract constituents are hydroxy aromatic compounds, such as piceol, vanillin, ferulic aldehyde and flavonoids [11]. The corresponding chemical structures of these compounds are shown in Fig. 12. Inspection of the figure reveals that these compounds contain O in functional groups, aromatic rings and O-heterocyclic rings, which encounter the general characteristics of typical corrosion inhibitors.
In acidic solution, the oxygen atom of these chemical compounds can be protonated easily, leading to positively charged inhibitor species. The charge of the metal surface is determined by the value of Ecorr−Eq = 0. The Eq = 0 of iron is −530 mV vs. SCE in HCl [38]. In this system, the value of Ecorr is 463 mV vs. SCE. The steel surface charges positive in 1 M HCl solution because of the value of Ecorr−Eq = 0 > 0. Thus, in acid solution, the metal surface is negatively charged due to the specifically adsorbed chloride anions on the metal surface. Then the adsorption can occur between positively charged inhibitor molecules and negatively charged metal surface leading to physisorption of the inhibitor molecules. Further, when the protonated molecules are adsorbed on the steel surface, a coordinate band may be formed by partial transference of electrons from oxygen atoms to vacant d orbits of iron.
Conclusion
From the global experimental results the next conclusions can be summarized:
-
Results obtained over weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests revealed that the ethyl acetate extract of Saccocalyx satureioides acts as efficient corrosion inhibitors of the carbon steel in acid solution.
-
Potentiodynamic polarization measurements exhibit that SSE acts as a mixed-type inhibitor.
-
The adsorption of SSE on the carbon steel (X52) surface follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm.
-
The negative values of free energy of adsorption (ΔG 0ads ) specify that the adsorption process is spontaneous physically adsorbed on the carbon steel (X52) surface.
