Abstract
Inhibitory action of hydroxylated cationic gemini surfactants on corrosion of mild steel [MS] in 1 M hydrochloric acid medium is studied by gravimetric, electrochemical polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) techniques. The results obtained reveal that these compounds are very efficient inhibitors. The inhibitory action of surfactants increases with the concentration and chain length. Concentration as low as 10−5 M of 16–4–16 MEA could show 99% inhibition whereas 12–4–12 MEA showed 93% inhibition at 10−4 M concentration. The inhibition efficiency versus concentration curves show an S-shape plot indicating adsorption of surfactants on metal surface as a three steps process. From Arrhenius plots corrosion rate of MS was observed to decrease at any given temperature with inhibitor concentration due to the increase in the degree of surface coverage. In contrast, at constant inhibitor concentration, the corrosion rate increases with temperature. EIS measurements show increase in the charge transfer resistance with the inhibitor concentration.
Kurzfassung
Die Inhibitorenaktivität von hydroxylierten kationischen Gemini-Tensiden auf die Korrosion von Flussstahl in 1 M salzsaurer Lösung wurde gravimetrisch, mittels elektrochemischer Polarisation und elektrochemischer Impedanz Spektroskopie (EIS) untersucht. Die Resultate zeigen, dass diese Verbindungen sehr effiziente Inhibitoren darstellen. Die Inhibitorenaktivität steigt mit der Konzentration und der Kettenlänge. Eine Konzentration von 10−5 M bei 16–4–16 MEA zeigt eine Inhibierung von 99%, bei 12–4–12 MEA mit einer Konzentration von 10−4 M dagegen 93%. Die Darstellung der Inhibierungsleistung gegen die Konzentration ergibt einen s-förmigen Kurvenverlauf, der die Adsorption der Tenside an der Metalloberfläche als einen dreistufigen Prozess anzeigt. Aufgrund des Grades der Oberflächenabdeckung wurde durch Arrhenius Plots ein Abfall der Korrosionsrate von Flussstahl mit der Inhibitorenkonzentration bei jeder vorgegebenen Temperatur beobachtet. Dagegen erhöht sich die Korrosionsrate mit der Temperatur bei konstanter Inhibitorenkonzentration. EIS-Messungen zeigen eine Erhöhung in der Charge-Transfer Resistenz mit der Inhibitorenkonzentration.
