Abstract: | Inhibition of C-steel corrosion by some thiadiazole derivatives (I–VI) in 1 M H2SO4 was investigated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The presence of these compounds in the solution decreases the double layer capacitance, increases the charge transfer resistance and increase of linear polarization. Polarization studies were carried out at room temperature, and showed that all the compounds studied are mixed type inhibitors with a slight predominance of cathodic character. The effect of temperature on corrosion inhibition has been studied and the thermodynamic activation and adsorption parameters were calculated and discussed. Electrochemical impedance was used to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. The adsorption of the compounds on C-steel was found to obey Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. The synergistic effect brought about by combination of the inhibitors and KSCN, KI and KBr was examined and explained. The mechanism of inhibition process was discussed in the light of the chemical structure and quantum-chemical calculations of the investigated inhibitors. |
