Corrosion is a significant issue in various industries, leading to continuous research and development of corrosion inhibitors. In this study, two phenolic Schiff bases named PSB3 and PSB4 were tested for their ability to prevent corrosion in mild steel. The results demonstrated that these inhibitors were most effective in preventing corrosion damage at lower temperatures and higher inhibitor concentrations.
For many industries, corrosion is a serious issue. For this reason, corrosion inhibitors are constantly being researched and developed to be utilized in a broad range of industrial applications. Thus, two phenolic Schiff bases named (E)-4-(1-((4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)imino)ethyl)benzene-1,3-diol (PSB3) and (E)-4-((pyrimidin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol (PSB4) were tested for their ability to prevent corrosion in mild steel (MS). Experiments involving gravimetry and electrochemistry are used. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) surface analysis verified the inhibitors' successful deposition. Inhibitors are most effective in preventing corrosion damage with lowering temperature and rising of inhibitors amount., nearing 75.6 % (PSB3) and 97.3 % (PSB4) at 303 K and 1 x 10-3 M, respectively. Hence, the inhibitors PSB3 and PSB4 are likely of the mixed-form, with their Ecorr values changing by 13.2 and 14.7 mV, respectively, with respect to the blank solution. In addition, it was found that the free energy of adsorption for these inhibitors on the MS face followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm with values of-41.06 and-39.90 KJ/mol. The SEM and EDS studies also demonstrated surface adsorption. The outcomes of the experiments corroborate the con-clusions of the computer modeling.
