This study presents a new method to predict corrosion inhibitor (CI) performance using molecular properties and surface modeling. The research identified effective imidazoline-based CIs for steel protection, offering insights into their adsorption mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Computational Chemistry

Background:

  • Corrosion remains a significant challenge in various industries, necessitating effective corrosion inhibitors (CIs).
  • Imidazoline derivatives have shown promise as CIs, but their performance prediction and molecular design require further development.
  • Understanding the adsorption behavior and self-assembly of CIs on metal surfaces is crucial for optimizing their efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a predictive methodology for corrosion inhibitor performance based on molecular descriptors and surface interactions.
  • To design, synthesize, and evaluate novel imidazoline-based corrosion inhibitors for steel.
  • To elucidate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition through experimental testing and computational modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Calculation of theoretical partition coefficients and molecular volumes for existing and novel imidazoline CIs.
  • Synthesis of new N-[2-(2-alkyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]alkylamides and N-[2-(2-alkyloylaminoethylamino)ethyl]alkylamides.
  • Corrosion inhibition efficiency measurements using potentiodynamic polarization curves (PPC), linear polarization resistance (LPR), and weight loss measurements (WLM) on SAE-1010 and SAE-1018 steels.
  • Monte Carlo simulations to model the self-assembled monolayer formation and adsorption behavior of CIs on a crystalline substrate.

Main Results:

  • Novel imidazoline CIs, specifically 1-(2-decylaminoethyl)-2-decylimidazoline and 1-(2-dodecylaminoethyl)-2-dodecylimidazoline, demonstrated high inhibition efficiencies.
  • Weight loss measurements showed efficiencies of 62.8% (steel 1010) and 78.9% (steel 1010) for the leading molecules, respectively.
  • Potentiodynamic polarization curves/linear polarization resistance tests indicated efficiencies of 97% and 94% (steel 1018) for the best performing inhibitors.
  • A proposed model, incorporating amphiphilic properties, qualitatively reproduced experimental observations of monolayer formation via Monte Carlo simulations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methodology effectively predicts corrosion inhibitor performance, guiding the molecular engineering of new compounds.
  • The synthesized imidazoline derivatives exhibit significant corrosion inhibition properties for SAE-1010 and SAE-1018 steels.
  • The study provides a mechanistic understanding of corrosion inhibition, linking molecular structure, adsorption, and self-assembly on metal surfaces.
