ABSTRACT

In this study, the inhibitor effect of ampicillin sodium salt on carbon steel corrosion in 1M of
HCl solution was investigated. The experiment was carried in HCl solution different temperature
(303,313, and 323) K and by used different inhibitor concentration, the weight loss and polarization
curve investigation were done. The activation energy, heat of adsorption and thermodynamic
parameters of inhibition effect of Ampicillin sodium salt under investigation on the corrosion process
have been calculated at different temperature. It was found the effect of inhibitor was decrease with
increasing temperature and Ampicillin sodium salt as a mixed inhibitor for the corrosion of carbon
steel. The inhibition efficiency of Ampicillin sodium salt increases-almost-with temperature and the
activation energy decreases in presence of the inhibitor. The inhibitor efficiency increased with
increasing inhibitor concentration.

Keywords: Corrosion, Corrosion Inhibitor, Adsorption Isotherm, Activation Energy.

INTRODUCTION

Carbon steel, the most widely used engineering material, accounts for approximately acids
are widely used by different industries in various technological processes. In the same time, there is a
big problem come from corrosion phenomena especially when we are deal with acid solutions, they
are extensively used in a variety of industrial process such as oil acidification, acid pickling and acid
cleaning. [1-3]
The protection of metals against the corroding action is accomplished by adding chemical
substances of small concentration to environment; these chemicals are called Inhibitors. So
inhibitors are chemical compounds that deposit on exposed metal surfaces from the corrosive
environment. The inhibitor may form a uniform film, which like a coating, acts as a physical barrier.
Organic compounds which containing sulfur, phosphorus; oxygen nitrogen and aromatic rings are
most effective and efficient inhibitors for the metals in acidic medium due to their molecular
structure. [4-7]

Several reports have documented the use of many pharmaceuticals compounds, such as
thiophene derivatives [8], methocarbamol [9], penicillin G [10], sulfacetamide(an antibacterial drug)
[11], nizoral[12], Cefixime.[13]

Absorption isotherms
The adsorption of organic compounds can be described by two mains types of interaction;
physical adsorption and chemisorption .they are influenced by the nature of the change of the metal,
the chemical structure of inhibitor, pH, the type of electrolyte and temperature. [14]
So adsorption isotherms are very important in determining the mechanism organic
electrochemical reaction [15], the most frequently used isotherms are Langmuir, FrumKin, Temkin,
Flory-Huggin, and etc. all these isotherms are of general form

Effect of Temperature
The influence of temperature on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in HCl solution with
added various inhibitor concentrations can be obtained by estimation of activation energies.
Activation energies were calculated from the Arrhenius plots, when plot logarithmic
corrosion current density (log icorr) versus reciprocal absolute temperature, relationship between
them can be expressed according to the following equation. This behavior was shown in figure 9

It can be seen from the above that; 1- the current density is decreased by the addition of the
specified inhibitor concentration and the decrease is proportional to the inhibitor quantity.2- the
current density is increased with increasing of temperature.3- the corrosion potential does not altered
significantly with both the temperature and the inhibitor quantity.4- all the curves are lying within
the activation control region.

The value of thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of inhibitors can provide
information about the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. The endothermic adsorption process (Q
>0) is attributed unequivocally to chemisorption), while generally, an exothermic adsorption process
(Q< 0) may involve either physisorption or chemisorption or a mixture of both. In general the value
of adsorption heat is exothermic (table 3), i.e. as the temperature is increased the inhibition efficiency
is expected to be in decreasing order. This can be explained that the effective part of the extract is not
available in such density to be in contact with the metal surface and here the physical adsorption is
prevailing. As the inhibitor concentration increased the availability of acting parts (the composer of
tea) is increased and the reaction is becoming easier and faster. According to this statement, there are
two actions of this inhibitor viz. by physorption and chemisorption one.

Figure -10: Transition state plot for carbon steel corrosion in 1M HCl solution in absence and
presence of Ampicillin sodium salt.

The values of S can be obtained from the plot of log icorr/T as shown in figure 10 and
enlisted in table 4 above. These values of entropy suggest that as the quantity of inhibitor increases
the order of the reactants to go to the activated complex or as the inhibitor quantity increased the
formed film becomes well ordered

CONCLUSIONS

Ampicillin sodium salt as a mixed inhibitor for the corrosion of carbon steel in 1 M HCl
solution without affecting the mechanism of hydrogen evolution reaction.
The inhibition efficiency of Ampicillin sodium salt increases-almost-with temperature and the
activation energy decreases in presence of the inhibitor.
The inhibitor efficiency increased by increasing inhibitor concentration.
