The Proton Pump Inhibitor (Lansoprazole Drug) As a Corrosion Inhibitor for High Carbon Steel in Hydrochloric Acid Solution

The proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole (PPIL) drug is examined as corrosion inhibitor for high carbon steel (HCS) dipped in 1.0M HCl. The study was conducted utilizing ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Mass loss (Ml), polarization tests, and surface checks were utilized to illustrate the importance of this PPIL extract to the prevent corrosion process for HCS. The influence of temperature and concentration of PPIL on the efficiency of inhibition were tested. The corrosion mechanism occurs, when the PPIL extract molecules block the active center in the electrode surface. The inhibition efficiency (%IF) of HCS occurs by the adsorption procedure and HCS is subject to the adsorption of Langmuir. Polarization curves showed that PPIL drug is a mixed- type inhibitor that retards the dissolution of HCS. IF % was deliberated with altering in the concentration of PPIL various temperature of the medium. From the outcome data we get that the good agreement in the all methods.
