What is it about?
Iron and its alloys are commonly used materials in petroleum refining facilities. However, poor corrosion resistance is always a disturbing problem for these industries. Herein, we demonstrated the utility of two pyrazoline derivatives (PYRs), namely, 2-(4-(4,5-dihydro-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenoxy)acetic acid (PYR-1) and 2-(4-(4,5-dihydro-3-p-tolyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)phenoxy)acetic acid (PYR-2) for enhancing mild steel (MS) resistance in 1.0 M HCl using chemical, electrochemical, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and computational techniques. Weight loss measurements revealed that the optimum concentration of inhibitors is 5 mM. The maximum inhibition efficiencies (based on electrochemical results) were obtained 94% and 88% for PYR-1 and PYR-2, respectively.
