Chlorella vulgaris Powder as an Eco-Friendly and Low-Cost Corrosion Inhibitor Against Carbon Steel Corrosion by HCl
In this study, dried biomass of the alga Chlorella vulgaris was ground into a powder as an eco-friendly, low-cost inhibitor to mitigate the corrosion of carbon steel in acidic solutions. Electrochemical and weight loss measurements, surface morphology observations, adsorption isotherms, activation energy, and potential of zero charge calculations were applied to evaluate the inhibition performance. Electrochemical results indicate that C. vulgaris powder can simultaneously inhibit both the anodic and cathodic corrosion processes of carbon steel, demonstrating good inhibition performance and classifying it as a mixed-type inhibitor with both anodic and cathodic characteristics. Weight loss data further confirm that at a concentration of 300 mg/L, the corrosion inhibition efficiency reaches 88%. The fitted adsorption isotherm reveals that the adsorption of Chlorella vulgaris powder on the carbon steel surface follows the Langmuir model. Density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the excellent inhibition performance is attributed to the combined effects of physisorption and chemisorption of constituents such as amino acids and cellulose present in C. vulgaris.
