Inhibiting Effect of a Green Corrosion Inhibitor Containing Jatropha Curcas Seeds Oil for Iron in an Acidic Medium

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The chemical composition of Jatropha curcas seeds oil was determined using chromatography gas (GC/MS) analysis after the esterification of fatty acids to methyl ester (FAME). The obtained results show that the average yield of Jatropha curcas seeds oil reached a maximum value of 50%. The seeds oil fatty acids carbon chain was composed of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids. The percentage of unsaturated fatty acids reached a value of 77%.The new developed formulation containing Jatropha curcas seeds oil (labeled as JAC) was tested as a friendly iron corrosion inhibitor in an acidic medium by potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The surface analysis was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical measurements show that the JAC formulation is a mixed type inhibitor. The obtained inhibition efficiency results increase with higher inhibitor concentrations, to attain a maximum value of 97% at 250 ppm. Furthermore, the protective effect is reinforced by increasing the immersion time and the rotation speed of the working electrode.
