Investigation of Inhibition Effect of Acrylic acid on C-Steel Corrosion in Sulfuric Acid Solutions
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Acrylic acid was tested as a corrosion inhibitor for C-steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 using gasometry, weight loss, and galvanostatic polarization techniques. Polymeric film is built up by cyclic voltammetry technique. The potentiodynamic polarization is used to examine the inhibition effect with the coated polymeric film. The data obtained from the different techniques coincide in that acrylic acid is a good mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition process is based on the adsorption of acrylic acid on the surface of C-steel according to Temkin’s adsorption isotherm. The inhibition efficiency increases with inhibitor concentration and decreases with temperature. The thermodynamic parameters ΔE, ΔH*, ΔS*, and ΔG*ads were calculated to elaborate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition.
