The inhibition performance of Basic yellow 13 dye on mild-steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution was studied at 25°C using weight loss and electrochemical techniques. The effect of inhibitor concentration on inhibition efficiency has been studied. Inhibition efficiency increased with increase of Basic yellow 13 concentration. The results showed that this inhibitor had good corrosion inhibition even at low concentrations (95% for 0.005 M Basic yellow 13) and its adsorption on mild-steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm. DG ads was calculated and its negative value indicated spontaneous adsorption of the Basic yellow 13 molecules on the mild-steel surface and strong interaction between inhibitor molecules and metal surface. The value of DG ads was less than 40 kJmol -1 , indicating electrostatic interaction between the charged inhibitor molecules and the charged metal surface, i.e., physical adsorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
