ABSTRACT:

Industrialization and modernization, in now days, has made a strong demand of steel and their maintenance for a strong infrastructure for every country in the race of survival, stabilization, growth and competition. Atmospheric corrosion is naturally occurring deterioration phenomenon in environment which may cause some dangerous and expensive damage to everything from automobiles, home appliances, water systems to pipelines, bridges and public buildings like other natural hazards such as earthquakes or several weather disturbances. Relative humidity, temperature, sulphur dioxide content, hydrogen sulphide content, amount of rain fall, dust and even the position of the exposed metal exhibit marked influence on corrosion behaviour. Atmospheric corrosion can aggressively accelerate the rate of degradation of steel during their manufacturing, processing, storage and transportation. In these cases, traditional methods to prevent corrosion are not suitable which provide scope of vapour phase corrosion inhibitors (VPCI) in industries, defense and daily life. Synergistic effect of Cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTAB) was tested for mild steel in different aggressive atmospheric conditions with 1,3-Diaminopropane, 1-Benzylimidazole and 5-Aminotetrazole by Weight loss test, Eschke test, Salt spray test and Sulphur dioxide (SO2) test at 50oC.

1. INTRODUCTION:

Atmospheric Corrosion, though not a separate form of corrosion, has received considerable attention because of the staggering associated costs that result1-7. With large number of outdoor structures such as buildings, fences, bridges, towers, automobiles, ships and innumerable other applications exposed to the atmospheric environment, there is no wonder that so much attention has been given to the subject. Atmospheric corrosion is a complicated electrochemical process like corrosion cells consisting of base metal, metallic corrosion products, surface electrolyte and atmosphere. Many variables influenced the corrosion characteristics of an atmosphere.

 

Relative humidity, temperature, sulphur dioxide content, hydrogen sulphide content, chloride content, amount of rain fall, dust and even the position of the exposed metal exhibit marked influence on corrosion behavior, geographic location is also a factor. Atmospheric corrosion depends not only on the moisture content present but also on the dust content and the presence of other impurities in the air, all of which have an effect on the consideration of moisture on the metal surface and the resulting corrosiveness. Air temperature can also be a factor. All types of corrosion may takes place, depending on the specific contaminants present and materials of construction. Corvo8 and Moricelli et al.9 studied the relationship between chloride ion concentrations with corrosion rate in atmospheric conditions. Ericsson10 showed that NaCl can cause corrosion at very low concentration because it can induce corrosion by SO2 on a carbon steel surface. NaCl can enhance 14 times rate of corrosion by SO2 at 9% relative humidity. In another report of Blucher et al.11, they have investigated adverse effect of CO2 on corrosion of aluminium. Vuorinen et al.12 and a list of authors have worked on organic compounds as VPCIs. Organic substances have been studied as VPCI for mild steel were morpholine derivatives and diaminohexane derivatives13, fatty acid thiosemicarbazides14, cyclohexylamine and dicyclohexylamine15-16, amine carboxylates17, ammonium caprylate18, benzoic hydrazide derivatives19, polyamines20, bis-piperidiniummethyl-urea and β–amino alcoholic compounds21. Apart from organic substances, natural compounds like wood bark oil22 and thyme23-24 have also been used as VPCIs. Cano et al.25 recently have proposed mechanism of inhibition of dicyclohexaminenitrite and dicyclohexamineisonitrite against corrosion due to vapours of acetic acid and formic acid on carbon steel. Zubielewicz et al26 studied the electrochemical behavior of mixed anodic inhibitors. Batis et al.27 evaluated the performance of two primers, first natural rust converter and other on organic primer coating containing VPCI against atmospheric corrosion for reinforcing steel. Lyublinski28 studied synergistic corrosion management systems by use of corrosion inhibitors. In continuation to our earlier study29-36, in the present study, the inhibiting properties of Cetyltrimethylamoniumbromide (CTAB) was investigated on mild steel at 85% relative humidity and 50°C by Weight loss test, Salt spray test in a solution of 3.0% NaCl, Eschke test and SO2 test. Synergistic effect of CTAB were tested with 1,3-Diaminopropane (DAP), 1-Benzylimidazole (BIZ) and 5-Aminotetrazole (ATZ) to enhance the corrosion inhibition action of CTAB.

 

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

2.1    Material

Mild steel (ASTM-283) coupons of dimensions 3.5cm × 1.5cm × 0.025cm and of chemical composition: C–0.17, Si–0.35, Mn–0.42, S–0.05, P–0.20, Ni–0.01, Cu–0.01, Cr–0.01 and Fe-balance (w/w) were used.

2.2.4           Air thermostat

Nine adjustable chambered, Electrically controlled, Accuracy ± 0.1oC.

 

2.3    Methods

2.3.1           Vapour pressure determination test

A definite amount of exactly weighted VPCI was placed in a single neck round bottom flask fitted with a rubber cork in the neck having a glass capillary of 1.0 mm diameter in the center of rubber cork. Then the flask was kept in electrically controlled air thermostat maintained at the constant temperature of 500C for 10 days. Change in weight of VPCIs was observed by analytical balance and vapour pressure of investigated VPCI was determined by weight loss of VPCI for time of exposure by equation 1.

 

 

Where, P = vapour pressure of VPCI (mmHg), A = area of orifice (m2), t = time of exposure (sec.), W = weight loss of VPCI (kg), T = temperature (K), M = molecular mass of the inhibitor (kg) and R = gas constant (8.314 JK-1mol-1).

 

2.3.2           Weight loss test

Mild steel coupons were mechanically polished successively with the help of emery papers grading 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600μ and then thoroughly cleaned with plenty of triple distilled water, ethanol and acetone.  Then coupons were dried with hot air blower and stored in desiccators over silica gel. Weight loss tests were carried out in an electronically controlled air thermostat maintained at a constant temperature of 50oC. After recording the initial weights of mild steel coupons, they were kept in different isolated chambers of air thermostat having fixed amount of VPCI at a constant temperature of 50oC for 24 hours of exposure time. A uniform thin film of VPCI was adsorbed onto the metal coupon surface after 24 hours of exposure. Then these coupons were transferred to a digitally controlled humidity chamber maintained at 85% humidity at a constant temperature of 50oC for 10 days. Blank coupons untreated with VPCI were also kept in humidity chamber for the same duration in the same corrosive environment. After exposing the coupons for 10 days, coupons were taken out from the humidity chamber and washed initially under running tap water. Loosely adhering corrosion products were removed with the help of rubber cork and coupon was again washed dried and then weighed again. Corrosion rate in miles per year (mpy) and percentage corrosion inhibition efficiency (PCIE) were calculated by using equations 2 and 3 respectively.

 

 

Where, CR = corrosion rate (in miles per year), W = weight loss (in mg), D = density of mild steel (in g/cm3), A = area of coupon (in sq. inch), T = exposure time (in hour).

 

 

Where, PCIE = percentage corrosion inhibition efficiency, CRo = corrosion rate in absence of inhibitor and CR = corrosion rate in presence of inhibitor.

 

2.3.3           Salt spray test

After exposing the pre-weighted mild steel coupons to VPCI in air thermostat for 24 hours, they were transferred to salt spray chamber having 3.0% NaCl solution maintained at 50oC for duration of 10 days along with blank coupons. After exposing coupons for 10 days, coupons were treated in same manner as treated in weight loss test to remove corrosion products and then CR and PCIE were calculated.

 

2.3.4           Eschke test

Kraft papers of suitable size were dipped in the VPCI for 30 seconds and then dried to adsorb uniform layer of inhibitor on Kraft papers. Mild steel coupons were wrapped in VPCI impregnated Kraft papers and then kept in humidity chamber maintained at 85% relative humidity maintained at 50oC for first 12 hours and 25oC for next 12 hours alternately for 10 days.

This temperature cycle was maintained in two sets because of formation and condensation of vapours of VPCI on mild steel surface regularly. After exposure time of test, corrosion parameters were determined.

 

2.3.5           Sulphurdioxide test

SO2 test was carried out on the mild steel coupons as in weight loss test. SO2 gas was prepared by dissolving 0.04g of sodium thiosulphate in 30mL aqueous solution of 1.0% NH4Cl and 1.0% Na2SO4 solution and 0.5mL of 1.0N H2SO4 was added to the flask. Initially pre-weighed and mechanically polished mild steel coupons were placed in air thermostat maintained at 50oC for duration of 10 days. Definite weight of VPCIs in a petridis and flask, which is the source of SO2, was placed in the isolated chambers of air thermostat containing mild steel coupons. After exposing coupons for 10 days, CR and PCIE were calculated.

 

3.      RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

Synergistic Effect of CTAB: CTAB is a suitable vapour phase corrosion inhibitor due to presence of a long hydrophobic chain in the molecule of CTAB which provide it ability to form a barrier film on the surface of mild steel to protect the mild steel from water vapours and corrosive contents of atmosphere around the mild steel as shown in Figure-1. But absence of any lone pair donor atom, low vapour pressure and vapour density is the cause of low PCIE of CTAB. To increase the PCIE of CTAB, synergistic effect of CTAB with DAP, BIZ and ATZ was tested by Weight loss test, Eschke test, Salt spray test and SO2 test.

3.1    Vapour pressure determination test

Results of this test for different combinations of CTAB are given in Table-1.

3.2    Weight loss test

To determine the synergistic effect of CTAB, different combination of CTAB with different VPCIs were tested through weight loss test. By the results of this test, weight loss, CR and PCIE of the combinations were determined which are given in Figure-2. Results of this test are clearly showing the synergistic effect of CTAB in which PCIE of CTAB in the combination are very good as compared with the individual performance.


 

Figure-2 Weight loss(x10-1mg), CR(x10-4mpy) and PCIE of CTAB with different VPCIs obtained from Weight loss test.

 


From Figure-2, it is clear that the weight loss and CR of combinations of CTAB are very low as compared to that of CTAB. It is due to increase in vapour pressure and vapour density of the combinations. It is observed that specific sites of active functional groups for the adsorption of VPCIs are increased and enhanced PCIE of combinations.

3.3    Salt Spray Test

Results of weight loss, corrosion rate of mild steel coupon and PCIE of different treated VPCIs under the aggressive Cl- ions environment after 10 days exposure time duration are given in Figure 3.


 

Figure-3 Weight loss (×10-1mg), CR (×10-4mpy) and PCIE of CTAB with different VPCIs obtained from Salt spray test.


Results of this test clearly show the synergistic effect of CTAB in which PCIE of CTAB in the combination are high as compared with the individual performance. It is shown that the PCIE of mixtures are higher than that of individual CTAB in salt spray test. Corrosive effect of direct spray of chloride ions on the mild steel coupon can be easily explained by the PCIE in this test.

 

 

3.4    Eschke Test

To determine the synergistic effect of CTAB, different combinations of CTAB with different vapour phase corrosion inhibitors were tested by direct contact of VPCIs on the mild steel coupon through Eschke test. By the results of this test, weight loss, corrosion rate and percentage corrosion inhibition efficiencies of different combinations were determined which are shown in Figure-4.


 

Figure-4 Weight loss (×10-1mg), CR (×10-4mpy) and PCIE of CTAB with different VPCIs obtained from Eschke test.


 

Effect of direct contact of VPCI on the mild steel coupon can be easily explained by the PCIE in this test. Due to direct contact of VPCI on the surface of mild steel, VPCI produces a barrier film on the mild steel surface by the adsorption of its vapour to protect the mild steel from the water vapours and aggressive corrodents of atmosphere and the PCIE for combinations are enhanced from 50.69% to 89.16% and CTAB perform an efficient VPCI due to its synergistic effect.

 

3.5    Sulphurdioxide test

To determine the synergistic effect of CTAB, different combinations of CTAB with different vapour phase corrosion inhibitors were tested by the effect of sulphate ions on the mild steel through SO2 test. By the results of this test, weight loss, corrosion rates and percentage corrosion inhibition efficiencies of the combination were determined which are shown in Figure-5.

 


 

Figure-5 Weight loss (×10-1mg), CR (×10-4mpy) and PCIE of CTAB with different VPCIs obtained from SO2 test.


From the results obtained from the different tests performed on mild steel coupons in different aggressive environments, the PCIE of the combinations of VPCIs are analyzed to obtain the probable mechanism and the corrosion inhibition action of VPCI as given in Figure-6.

 


 

 

Figure-6 Comparison of PCIE of different tested combinations in all tests performed.

 


From Figure-6, it is clear that CTAB is performing efficiently as VPCI in combinations with DAP, BIZ and ATZ because in all combinations, PCIE are more than that of individual CTAB (44.70%) and the combinations show inhibition action in weight loss test in the following order:

               

CTAB+DAP > CTAB-BIZ > CTAB+ATZ

 

Due to presence of two amine groups having lone pair donar N atoms in the molecule of DAP and 1-BIZ, it provide active attacking site to adsorb on the surface of mild steel coupon by acid base interaction. Vapours of DAP adsorb by chemisorptions and form uniformly layer on mild steel coupon surface and then CTAB show further multilayered non specific physical adsorption due to hydrophobic – hydrophobic interaction between the propyl part of DAP and long hydrocarbon chain of the CTAB as shown in Figure-7. Presence of methylene group near the lone pair donar atom enhances the electron density of N atom and basic strength of 1-BIZ by inductive effect. 5-ATZ have many active sites to attach with the surface of metal but due to presence of many lone pair atoms, electron density become very high so there is electron repulsion between these lone pairs in the molecule with provide very high basic strength to the molecule. So, due to acid-base mechanism, PCIE of 5-ATZ should be very high but actual this is not so due to low vapour pressure.

 


 

Figure-7 Mechanism of action of CTAB+DAP on Mild Steel Coupon surface.

 


Due to direct contact of NaCl salt on the surface and its hydrolysis products accelerate the corrosion rate due to which PCIE is slightly lower than that of weight loss test from Figure-3, it is shown that PCIE of different combinations of VPCI with CTAB is in order:

       

        CTAB+BIZ > CTAB+DAP > CTAB+ATZ

 

Presence of benzene ring provides π-electrons systems which make 1-BIZ as a good surfactant to show inhibition action against corrosion in Salt spray test, Eschke test. In SO2 test, although ATZ has high basic strength ATZ should show high PCIE but very low vapour pressure lowers the PCIE of ATZ. From the results of combinations of CTAB with different VPCIs in weight loss test, salt spray test, Eschke test and SO2 test, it is clear that CTAB perform as efficient VPCI for mild steel under atmospheric corrosion.  In combination of CTAB with DAP, BIZ and ATZ vapour pressure rises to a level of best performance.

 

4.      CONCLUSIONS:

As a result of experimental work carried out on the performance of investigated vapour phase corrosion inhibitors, a deep analysis of corrosion parameters obtained by corrosion testing experiments, morphology of mild steel coupon show that CTAB perform excellent corrosion inhibition properties against the aggressive environments of SO2 and NaCl at high relative humidity and high temperature. From the experimental study it is concluded that

a)       Due to rise in vapour pressure of CTAB with combinations of DAP, BIZ and ATZ, rate of adsorption of CTAB on mild steel coupon is increased by which CTAB form barrier layer on mild steel easily and protect mild steel from corrodents of environments.

b)       Presence of two lone pair donar atoms in DAP and 1-BIZ molecules increase the basic strength of combinations by which it can easily neutralize the acidic character of environment around mils steel coupon and retard the CR.

c)       Presence of alkyl group near the lone pair donar atom in DAP and 1-BIZ enhance the basic strength due to +I effect and protect the mild steel easily by neutralize of acidic environment.

d)       Presence of π-electrons provides the adsorption system to form barrier on mild steel coupon for atmospheric corrodents.

e)       Presence of aggressive chloride ions penetrate the barrier layer and decrease the PCIE of VPCIs and direct contact of VPCIs in Eschke test enhance the PCIE of VPCIs.
