Investigação da resistência à corrosão do aço aisi 1020 em meio ácido na presença de tiossemicarbazonas, extratos vegetais e suas formulações

Abstract

This dissertation presents the evaluation of four thiosemicarbazones, from extracts of species of vegetables Talinum triangulare, Physalis angulata e Theobroma cacao L. besides formulation obtained from the combination extract of thiosemicarbazones vegetables as corrosion inhibitor in the presence of carbon steel AISI 1020. Thiosemicarbazones were obtained with good level of purity, satisfactory throughput and identified by NMR of 1H and 13C. The watery extract of Talinum triangulare was obtained using ultrasound device. The extracts of Physalis angulata species were obtained by maceration in water and the other one in ethyl acetate. The watery extracts of Theobroma cacao L. species were obtained using ultrasound device and decoction and hydroalcoholic extract was obtained by maceration in ethanol:water (80:20). The thiosemicarbazones, the vegetable extracts and their formulation were tested in the presence of corrosion of carbon steel AISI 1020 in solution 1 mol. L-1 of HCl. For this evaluation it was used the gravimetric techinique of weight loss and electrochemical techiniques of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the presence of thiosemicarbazones, as well as, the formulation increased significantly the resistence of carbon steel AISI 1020 in acidic medium. The results obtained in different used essays (weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) show that these techniques are complementary in relation to the evaluation of corrosion inhibition. The best anti-corrosion efficiency was observed for thiosemicarbazone chloro and hydroxy-substituted and its formulations with the extract of T. triangulare achieving 88% and 87% of efficiency, by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, respectively.
