The corrosion phenomenon and its economic impacts can hardly be ignored in any application. This study synthesized a quaternary ammonium salt containing hydrophobic dodecyl and electron-rich diallylbenzyl amine moieties to be used in 15 % HCl as a corrosion inhibitor of mild steel. Several techniques, such as H and C NMR, IR, TGA, and elemental analysis, have been used to characterize inhibitor .

This study entails the syntheses of a homopolymer, poly(diallylammonium chloride) (3), and copolymers (8a-c) containing hydrophilic/hydrophobic pendants and their role in mitigating mild steel in aggressive 20% formic acid, a type of corrosion that is not frequently discussed in the literature. The synthesized homopolymer and copolymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR, viscometry, and TGA. Inhibitor 8b was found to be the most potent, with 81.

Article Synopsis
  • - Surfactants are recognized for their ability to prevent corrosion by interacting with metal surfaces, but their effectiveness is limited due to their small size and required high concentrations in aqueous environments.
  • - Polymeric surfactants have emerged as promising corrosion inhibitors, offering improved performance due to their larger molecular structure, strong bonding capabilities, and the presence of polar functional groups that enhance their solubility in industrial electrolytes.
  • - The text discusses the advantages and challenges of polymer surfactants, including their industrial applications, colloidal properties, and how they serve as a modern alternative to traditional corrosion inhibitors.

The phenomenon of corrosion threatens metallic components, human safety, and the economy. Despite being eco-friendly and promising as a corrosion inhibitor, acridine has not been explored to its full potential. In this review, we have discussed multiple biological activities that acridines have been found to show in a bid to prove that they are environmentally benign and much less toxic than many inhibitors.

With an ever-increasing population and unpredictable climate changes, meeting energy demands and maintaining a sustainable environment on Earth are two of the greatest challenges of the future. Biogas can be a very significant renewable source of energy that can be used worldwide. However, to make it usable, upgrading the gas by removing the unwanted components is a very crucial step.

Corrosion is a phenomenon that devastatingly affects innovative, industrial, and mechanical applications, especially in the oil and gas industries. The corrosion conceivably influences industrial equipment; it deteriorates the environment and lessens the equipment/infrastructure's lifetime. Considering the significant impact of corrosion in our daily lives, this review article aims to briefly discuss the significance of corrosion and different control methods with special attention on corrosion inhibitors.
