The corrosion inhibition performance during acid cleaning often uses harmful chemicals, or eco-friendly extracts involving complicated steps and multiple organic solvents. This study explores an environmental friendly alternative of single-step synthesized chitosan ortho-vanillin Schiff base (OVCS) and investigates its inhibition behavior for mild steel in 1 M HCl solution. The structure of prepared OVCS was characterized using FTIR. Thermogravimetric analysis suggested that the synthesized OVCS compound exhibited good thermal stability at the temperature below 200 °C. Weigh loss results indicated that OVCS compound acted as an effective corrosion inhibitor and the maximum inhibitory efficiency was up to 93.99 % at the concentration of 1000 mg/L. Potentiodynamic polarization tests revealed that OVCS worked as mixed-type inhibitor and the corrosion current density decreased from 258.8 μA·cm−2 (in the absence of OVCS inhibitor) to 18.90 μA· cm−2 (in the presence of 1000 mg/L OVCS inhibitor). The adsorption of OVCS compound onto mild steel follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The standard free energy of adsorption was found to be −27.59 kJ/mol, indicating both chemical and physical adsorption interactions and the coordinate covalent bonding was predominant. Thermodynamic parameters, ΔHa and ΔSa were also calculated to further illustrate the corrosion inhibition performance. This study supplies a facile and effective strategy for corrosion protection of mild steel during acid cleaning process in industrial applications.
