Abstract The influence of omeprazole on C38 steel corrosion in HCl solutions (1, 3, 5 M) was evaluated by weight loss and electrochemical techniques. Densityfunctional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were also used. The weight loss experiment shows that the maximum inhibition efficiency achieved a value of 98.36% in the presence of 5 9 103 M of omeprazole in molar HCl. Polarization measurements revealed that the inhibitor acted as a mixed type. Impedance spectroscopy measurements illustrated that the resistance to charge transfer increased with the addition of

omeprazole concentration in 1, 3 and 5 M of HCl. The SEM micrographs demonstrated applicable protection of the C38 surface after the addition of 5 9 103 M of omeprazole for all three studied HCl test solutions. The DFT and MD simulations were used to explain the effect of the molecular structure on the corrosion inhibition efficiency and to simulate the adsorption of omeprazole on C38 surface. The corrosion rates were related to generalized pH expressed by Strehlow acidity function.

Introduction Hydrochloric acid is commonly used in the metallurgical industry to remove rust deposits and to clean boilers and heat exchangers. However, the high aggressivity of this acid leads to corrosion of steel especially C38 steel. For this, organic inhibitors are added to reduce the acidic attack on the substrate metal and to control the corrosion rate [1–3]. Recently, th
