- Abstract
- The acid treatment process of production wells is one of the most acid-induced corrosive processes. Corrosion inhibitors are an effective tool to inhibit the acids employed in acidizing treatments. Herein, new eco-friendly hydrazone-based compounds, namely, 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-N-((1E,2E)-3-phenylallylidene) propanehydrazide (IPP) and N '-cyclohexylidene-2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl] propanehydrazide (CIP), were prepared through the functionalization of ibuprofen (IBF) and applied for corrosion mitigation of N80 steel in 15 wt % HCl (referred to hereafter as blank). The anticorrosion performance of selected compounds was investigated by employing weight loss (WL), potentiodynamic polarization curves (PPCs), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), complemented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. In addition, density functional theory-based tight-binding (DFTB) modeling was conducted to get molecular-level insights into inhibitor-metal bonding. Experimental results revealed excellent long-term corrosion inhibition efficiency at very low concentrations of inhibitors and a mixed-type inhibition process. Numerically, N80 steel polarization resistance increased from 5.51 omega cm2 in blank to 608.4 and 396 omega cm2 in blank inhibited with 5 x 10-3 mol/L of IPP and CIP, respectively, equivalent to 99% and 98% inhibition efficiency based on EIS experiments. Besides, SEM and AFM images showed that, after addition to 15 wt % HCl, inhibitors could effectively prevent the acid attack on the N80 steel surface. The fitting of experimental data to adsorption isotherms indicated that inhibitors' adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm model and mixed physicochemical adsorption on the metal surface. The DFTB simulation revealed that inhibitor molecules can create covalent and physical interactions with iron atoms, which is further confirmed by partial density of states (PDOSs) analysis.
