The corrosion inhibition potentials of Mentha rotundifolia oil on carbon steel in 1MHCl was studied at different concentrations via gravimetric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Polarization curves reveal that Mentha rotundifolia oil is a mixed-type inhibitor. Changes in impedance parameters (charge transfer resistance R-t, and double-layer capacitance C-dl) were indicative of adsorption of Mentha rotundifolia on the metal surface, leading to the formation of a protective film. The effect of the temperature on the corrosion behavior with addition of the optimal concentration of Mentha rotundifolia oil was studied in the temperature range 308 and 338 K. Adsorption of oil on the carbon steel surface is found to obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Attempts to explain the inhibitory action were carried out using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level. Quantum chemical parameters most relevant to its potential action as corrosion inhibitor such as E-HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), E-LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), energy gap (Delta E), and Mulliken charges have been calculated and discussed. The theoretical results were found to be consistent with the experimental data.

Experimental and theoretical studies of Inula viscosa extract as a novel eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1 M HCl

Amel Kouache, Abdellah Khelifa, Hocine Boutoumi, Saad Moulay, Amira Feghoul, Brahim Idir, Salaheddine Aoudj

Summary: The study demonstrated the effectiveness of Inula viscosa leaf extract as a corrosion inhibitor for X70 carbon steel in 1 M HCl, with inhibition efficiency exceeding 92% at a concentration of 600 mg L-1. The adsorption of the green inhibitor onto the steel surface, mixed-type behavior, and stability of the inhibitor layer were key factors contributing to its excellent performance. Analysis of the protective film formed by the inhibitor, reduction of surface roughness, and quantum chemical parameters calculated for the plant extract components using DFT further supported the findings.

Effect of Starch, Lipid, and Protein Components in Flour on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Indonesian Biji Ketapang Cookies

Asep Bayu Dani Nandiyanto, Risti Ragadhita, A. Ana, Belkheir Hammouti

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of starch, lipid, and protein components in flour on the mechanical properties of Indonesian Biji Ketapang (BK) cookies. The results showed that the rheological properties of flour, influenced by starch, lipid, and protein, affected the spread ratio and the internal pores of the cookies. Different types of flours resulted in cookies with different pore sizes. Low-protein content in flour contributed to cookies with better crispness and hardness. These findings are important for the production of gluten-free foods.

Acetylsalicylic acid as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel XC48 in chloride environment

Chaimae Merimi, Belkheir Hammouti, Kaoutar Zaidi, Baraa Hafez, Hicham Elmsellem, Rachid Touzani, Savas Kaya

Summary: This study evaluated the corrosion inhibition potential of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on carbon steel in an acidic environment. Both electrochemical and gravimetric measurements were used to assess the corrosion performance of ASA on carbon steel in a 1M hydrochloric acid solution. The results revealed that ASA effectively inhibited the corrosion of carbon steel in an acidic environment. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing ASA concentration and decreased with increasing temperature. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 96% was achieved with a concentration of 5 x 10-3 M ASA at 308 K. The adsorption of ASA on the carbon steel surface followed the Langmuir model, and a physical adsorption mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results.
