Abstract

:
A new curcumin derivative, i.e., (1E,4Z,6E)-5-chloro-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one (chlorocurcumin), was prepared starting with the natural compound curcumin. The newly synthesized compound was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral studies (IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR). The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl by chlorocurcumin has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration of the inhibitor but decreases with increases in temperature. The potentiodynamic polarization reveals that chlorocurcumin is a mixed-type inhibitor. The kinetic parameters for mild steel corrosion were determined and discussed.

1. Introduction

Natural Products (NPs) have traditionally played an important role in industrial applications, including the discovery of drug NPs, which were the basis for most early medicines [1,2]. Many organic compounds have been studied to investigate their corrosion inhibition potential, e.g., the effect of organic nitrogen compounds on the corrosion behavior of iron and steel in acidic solutions; these organic nitrogen compounds are usually employed for their rapid action [3,4]. The effective and efficient corrosion inhibitors are those compounds that have π-bonds, contain hetero-atoms such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorous and allow the adsorption of compounds on the metal surface [5,6,7,8,9]. The organic inhibitors decrease the corrosion rate by adsorbing on the metal surface and blocking the active sites by displacing water molecules, leading to the formation of a compact barrier film on the metal surface. Most organic inhibitors are toxic, highly expensive and environmentally unfriendly. Thermodynamic adsorption parameters and kinetic corrosion parameters have been utilized to describe inhibitor adsorption behavior. Riggs and Hurd [10] reported that the heat of inhibitor adsorption could be obtained by comparing the activation energies of uninhibited and inhibited corrosion reactions. However, while a positive heat of adsorption, differential heat of adsorption (DHads.) DHads. > 0 (endothermic process), has been unequivocally attributed to chemisorption, [10,11] a negative heat of adsorption, DHads. < 0 (exothermic process), could involve physisorption, [12] chemisorption [13,14] or a mixture of both processes (comprehensive adsorption) [14,15,16,17,18,19]. It is well established that the effect of temperature on the inhibition of an acid–metal reaction is highly complex, due to the many changes that occur on the metal surface, such as the rapid etching and desorption of the inhibitor, and because the inhibitor itself may undergo decomposition and/or rearrangement. It was observed that few inhibitors in acid-metal systems have specific reactions that are effective at high temperatures rather than at low temperatures [15]. The temperature dependence of the inhibiting effect and a comparison of the values of the apparent activation energy, Ea, of the corrosion process in the absence and presence of the inhibitor of interest could provide further evidence concerning its mechanism of inhibition [16]. In the present study, corrosion inhibitor (1E,4Z,6E)-5-chloro-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one (chlorocurcumin) was synthesized and investigated as an inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM). The structure for the synthesized novel corrosion inhibitor proposed based on spectroscopic evidence and is shown in Figure 1.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Polarization Measurements

The polarization curves for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solutions at various concentrations of chlorocurcumin at 30 °C are shown in Figure 2. The values for corrosion current density (icorr), corrosion potential (Ecorr), anodic Tafel slope (βa), cathodic Tafel slope (βc) and inhibition efficiency (IE%) are displayed in Table 1. These values were calculated from the Tafel fit routine provided by the Gamry Echem analyst software, which uses a non-linear chi-squared minimization to fit the data to the Stern-Geary equation. The inhibition efficiency was calculated as follows:
I E ( % ) = i c o r r i c o r r ( i n h ) i c o r r × 100
where icorr and icorr(inh) are the corrosion current densities without and with the addition of inhibitor, respectively.

A compound can be classified as an anodic- or cathodic-type inhibitor when the displacement in Ecorr is larger than 85 mV with respect to E0corr [20,21]. Because the largest displacement of Ecorr occurs in the presence of chlorocurcumin, then the molecules can be considered a mixed-type inhibitor. Adding chlorocurcumin to HCl solution reduces the anodic dissolution of mild steel and retards the cathodic hydrogen evolution.
Table 1 shows that the icorr values decreased in the presence of chlorocurcumin. This result indicates that the corrosion rate decreases with the addition of inhibitor and that the inhibition efficiency increases with inhibitor concentration. The slight change in the values of the Tafel constants (βa, βc) with the addition of chlorocurcumin indicates that the inhibitor controlled both reactions. This result also indicates that the adsorbed molecules did not affect the mechanism of mild steel dissolution or hydrogen evolution [22].

2.2. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) Measurements

The experimental results obtained from EIS measurements for the corrosion of mild steel in the presence and absence of chlorocurcumin at 30 °C are listed in Table 2. The Nyquist plot for mild steel in the absence and presence of various concentration of chlorocurcumin is shown in Figure 3. The increase in the diameter of the semicircle indicates that impedance increases with increasing inhibitor concentration. In general, the impedance spectra exhibit one single depressed semicircle, and the diameter of the semicircle increases with the increase of inhibitor concentration. The semicircle can be attributed to the charge transfer that takes place at electrode/solution interface, and the transfer process controls the corrosion reaction of mild steel. The existence of a single semicircle shows the single charge transfer process during dissolution which is unaffected by the presence of inhibitor molecules [23,24]. The semicircle-shaped Nyquist plots imply that the formation of a barrier on the surface and the corrosion of mild steel are largely controlled by a charge transfer process [25]. The existence of single semicircle showed the single charge transfer process during dissolution which is unaffected by the presence of inhibitor molecules. Deviation of perfect circular shape is often referred to the frequency dispersion of interfacial impedance. This anomalous behavior is generally attributed to the inhomogeneity of the metal surface arising from surface roughness or interfacial phenomena [26,27]. The obtained semicircles cut the real axis at higher and lower frequencies. The intercept corresponds to Rs at the higher frequency (Table 2) end and to Rs + Rt at the lower frequency end, where Rt is the difference between these two values [28].

The EIS spectra were analyzed using the equivalent circuit in Figure 4. The constant phase element (CPE) is represented as follows:
Z ( ω ) = Y o . ( j ω ) α
where Yo is the CPE constant, ω is the angular frequency (rad/s), j2 = −1 and is an imaginary number and α is the CPE exponent. The double layer charge transfer, Cdl, can be calculated as follows:
C d l = ( Y o R c t 1 α ) 1 / α
To confirm the polarization results, the inhibition efficiencies (IE%) for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl is calculated as follows:
I E ( % ) = R c t R c t o R c t × 100
where Rct and R0ct are the charge transfer resistances with and without inhibitor, respectively.
The IE% increased with inhibitor concentration, and this result was in agreement with those obtained from the potentiodynamic polarization measurements. It can be observed form Table 2 that the presence of chlorocurcumin increases the values of Rct and reduces the Cdl values. The increased Rct values are due to the formation of a protective film on the metal surface that prevents mass and charge transfer [29]. Conversely, the decrease in Cdl is attributed to the increase in the film layer thickness formed by the adsorption of inhibitor molecules [30,31,32].

2.3. Corrosion Kinetic Parameters

The effect of temperature on the corrosion parameter of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was studied at 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C. The activation energy (Ea), activation enthalpy (∆Ha) and activation entropy (∆Sa) for the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl with and without the inhibitor were determined using the Arrhenius and transition state plots.
The activation energy can be obtained from the Arrhenius equation and plot:
i corr = A exp ( E a R T )
where icorr is the corrosion current (A·cm−2), A is pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy (J·mol−1), R is gas constant (8.314 J·mol−1·K−1) and T is temperature in K.
Taking the logarithm yields:
ln  i corr = ( E a R ) ( 1 T ) + ln  A
The graph of ln (icorr) against 1000/T yields a straight line with the slope equal to (−Ea/R). The Arrhenius plot for mild steel in 1.0 M HCl in the presence and absence of chlorocurcumin is shown in Figure 5. The values of Ea were calculated and are displayed in Table 3.

Blank77.2574.61−60.44
0.5 mM104.74102.1018.91
The transition state equation was used to calculate the ∆Ha and ∆Sa:
i corr = R T h N exp ( Δ S a R ) exp ( Δ H a R T )
where N is Avogadro’s number (6.02 × 1023 mol−1) and h is Plank’s constant (6.63 × 10−34 m2·kg·s−1).
To carry out simple calculations, Equation (7) was rearranged to become
ln  ( i corr T ) = ( Δ H a R ) ( 1 T ) + [ ln  ( R N h ) + Δ S a R ]
A plot of ln (icorr/T) against 1000/T gives a straight line with the slope equal to (−∆Ha/R) and intercept equal to [ln(R/Nh) + (∆Sa/R)], as shown in Figure 6. The ∆Ha and ∆Sa values were calculated and are displayed in Table 3.

Materials 06 05466 g006
From Table 3, the activation energy increases in the presence of the inhibitor, implying that a physical adsorption (electrostatic) process occurred in the initial stage. In addition, the Ea values are greater than 20 kJ·mol−1 in both the presence and absence of the inhibitor, which indicate that the entire process is controlled by the surface reaction [33]. According to Szauer and Brand, the increase in activation energy can be attributed to the decrease in the adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface with increases in temperature [34]. The values of Ea and ∆Ha are higher in the presence of the inhibitor. This result shows that the energy barrier of the corrosion reaction is increased without changing the mechanism of dissolution. The endothermic nature of steel dissolution is indicated by the positive values of ∆Ha for both the corrosion processes with and without the inhibitor.
Meanwhile, the positive values of ∆Sa reveals that the adsorption process is accompanied by a increase in the entropy which acts as a driving force for adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface. The value of ∆Sa increases in the presence of the inhibitor and is generally interpreted by increases in the disorder, as the reactants are converted to activated complexes [35].

2.4. Adsorption Isotherm

The adsorption isotherm was collected to investigate the interaction between the inhibitor and the mild steel surface. The surface coverage values (θ) were obtained from the polarization measurements and are calculated thus:
θ = i corr o i corr i corr o
It was assumed that the adsorption of chlorocurcumin follows the Langmiur adsorption isotherm model. Plotting Cinh/θ against Cinh (Figure 7) resulted in a straight line, which indicates that the inhibitor adsorption obeys the Langmiur adsorption isotherm. The Langmiur adsorption isotherm is represented by Equation (10):
C inh θ = 1 K ads + C inh
where Cinh is the concentration of the inhibitor and Kads is the adsorption constant that is related to the standard free energy of adsorption, ∆G0ads as follow:
G0ads = −RT ln(55.5Kads)
Generally, values of ∆G0ads up to −20 kJ/mol are consistent with physisorption, while those approximately −40 kJ/mol or lower associated with chemisorption. Chemisorption involves charge sharing or charge transfer between the metal and organic molecules [36,37]. In this case, the calculated value for ∆G0ads is −14.61 kJ/mol; the mechanism of adsorption for chlorocurcumin on mild steel is thus physisorption.

3. Experimental Section

All chemicals used were of reagent grade (supplied by either Malaysia|Sigma-Aldrich) and used as received without further purifications. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were measured using a Thermo Scientific Model Nicolate 6700 Spectrophotometer. NMR spectra were recorded on a Model AVANCE III 600 MHz spectrometer.

3.1. Synthesis of Chlorocurcumin

Curcumin (1.23 g, 0.00334 mol) was mixed with POCl3 (10 mL). The resulting suspension was refluxed for approximately 3 hours, then cooled to room temperature and slowly poured onto crushed ice mixed with water. The violet solid formed was collected by filtration, washed with ice-water and recrystallized from acetonitrile. For the FTIR spectrum of chlorocurcumin, the broad peak at 3412.9 cm−1 was due to O–H stretching vibration while the sharp peak at 1727.8 was due to carbonyl stretching. Both peaks at 2959.7 cm−1 and 2931.6 cm−1 were assigned to aromatic rings on chlorocurcumin. Peaks at 1598.8 cm−1 and 1513.0 cm−1 are the typical C=C stretch vibration. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ (ppm) 7.5 (H–C=C); 7.27 (H–aromatic); 4.2 (–OH); 0.9 (–OCH3). 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ (ppm) 167.7 (C=O); 128-132 (C-aromatic); 68.18 (C–Cl); 38.8(–OCH3) [38].

3.2. Electrochemical Measurements

Mild steel specimens obtained from Metal Samples Company were used as the working electrodes throughout the study. The composition (wt %) of the mild steel was as follows: Fe, 99.21; C, 0.21; Si, 0.38; P, 0.09; S, 0.05; Mn, 0.05; Al, 0.01. The active surface area of the mild steel was 4.5 cm2. The specimens were cleaned according to ASTM standard procedure G1-03 [39,40,41,42]. The measurements were carried out in aerated, non-stirred 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solutions at 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C at a concentration range of 0.1–0.5 mM chlorocurcumin as the corrosion inhibitor. The selection of the acid concentration was based on the conditions commonly observed during the selection process at industrial facilities. Solutions were freshly prepared using distilled water. Each measurement was repeated three times, and only the average values were reported to verify the reproducibility of the experiments. The inhibitory effects of chlorocurcumin were investigated with a Gamry water jacketed glass cell, which contained three electrodes: the working, counter and reference electrode (the reference electrode consisted of a saturated calomel electrode (SCE)). The measurements were performed using a Gamry Instrument Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA model REF 600.

4. Conclusions

Chlorocurcumin inhibits the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. The inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration of the inhibitor. Potentiodynamic polarization studies implied that the chlorocurcumin is a mixed-type inhibitor. The activation energy showed that the entire process is controlled by the polarization resistance, surface reaction and that the adsorption of chlorocurcumin on the metal surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
