Abstract: | The corrosion inhibition by Schiff base compounds derived from diamines and o-hydroxy, o-methoxy aromatic aldehydes was investigated by weight loss, electrochemical measurements and surface analysis of SS 400 in various aqueous solutions such as tap water (LC), concentrated tap water (HC) and HCl solutions. The maximum inhibition efficiency (η) of N,N′-bis (salicylaldehyde)-1,12-diaminododecane (Saldn) for SS 400 in HCl solution approached 93%. The adsorption of Saldn on mild steel in HCl solution was obeyed Langmuirs isotherm. |
