The hazardous
effects of corrosion influence not only metals but also environment and human health.
Furthermore, cost of corrosion deeply strokes the economics of industrialized
nations. In order to combat corrosion, especially in closed-circuit system and
metal pickling, the use of organic inhibitor compounds is the most practically
and effective method. The risk of organic inhibitors is their waste products
may have environmental hazards. Therefore, attention has been focused on “green
inhibitors” which are plant and seeds extracts, etc. Because they serve as
various sources of naturally synthesized chemical compounds which are
eco-friendly, cheap, readily available and renewable sources of materials and
can be produced by simple extraction procedures.
In this
study, adsorption and corrosion inhibition properties of olea europae
components which are green inhibitors were investigated theoretically. The molecular
optimizations were performed using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with the
Beck’s three parameter exchange functional and the Lee–Yang–Parr non-local
correlation functional (B3LYP) with 6-311++G (d, p) basis set of atomic
orbitals as implemented in Gaussian 03 program package. The energy of highest
occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), energy of the lowest unoccupied
molecular orbital (ELUMO), energy gap (∆E) between LUMO and HOMO,
dipole moment, Mulliken charges on the backbone atoms were determined. The
optimized molecular structures and HOMO, LUMO surfaces were visualized using
Gauss View program package.
