The acidic fluids used in the acidification of oil wells provoke corrosion of metallic materials unenviably. As a consequence, corrosion inhibitors are needed to mitigate or retard the corrosion process. Herein, we report m-pentadecylphenol as an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor in acidic media developed from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), which is a low-cost and sustainable source. The inhibitor was evaluated as corrosion inhibitor for mild in 1 M HCl corrosive solution by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), weight loss, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDX-RF) spectrometry methods. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency of m-pentadecylphenol was at least 95% at an optimal concentration (300 ppm). The inhibition efficiency was found to increase as the inhibitor concentration increments from 100 to 300 ppm. Further studies revealed the inhibition performance of m-pentadecylphenol to be marginally reliant on temperature as the temperature rises from 303 to 333 K. At 333 K, the inhibition performance of the inhibitor was still promising (about 85%) when the concentration was 300 ppm. The adsorption studies revealed the spontaneous aptitude of mpentadecylphenol to inhibit corrosion by forming a non-conductive inhibitive layer on the mild steel surface mainly through the chemisorption mechanism. The chemisorption adsorption was satisfactorily described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Besides, the potentiodynamic polarization measurements revealed m-pentadecylphenol to act as an anodic inhibitor. The overall findings revealed that m-pentadecylphenol to be an effective corrosion inhibitor in harsh corrosive vicinities with the added advantages of being eco-friendly and relatively cheaper. Thus, it can replace the use of non-green and expensive corrosion inhibitors in the industry.
