Synthesis of Environmentally Friendly Proline Mannich Quaternary Ammonium Salt and Its Acidification Corrosion Inhibition Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel Mannich-based quaternary ammonium salt (PMQ) corrosion inhibitor was synthesized via Mannich reaction followed by quaternization. Its corrosion inhibition performance for N80 steel in 15 wt% HCl at 303 K was evaluated using electrochemical methods. The addition of 1 wt% PMQ achieved an inhibition efficiency of 98.6%. The adsorption of PMQ onto the metal surface followed a mixed physisorption–chemisorption mechanism. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), contact angle measurements, molecular dynamics simulations, and quantum chemical calculations demonstrated that PMQ forms a hydrophobic film through electrostatic adsorption via its quaternary ammonium group and π-electron conjugation from the proline ring. This film effectively blocks the penetration of H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, forming a dense protective layer that suppresses the diffusion of corrosive species and mitigates acid-induced corrosion.
