The inhibition performance of two Schiff bases, namely (A) Benzenamine, 2-chloro-N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene] and (B) Benzenamine, 3-chloro-N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methy-lene] as corrosion inhibitors for Al-Pure in 1.0 M HCl has been investigated by galvanostatic polarization measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and weight loss method. Galvanostatic polarization study showed that two inhibitors are mixed type with predominant action on the cathode. The adsorption of inhibitors on Al-Pure surface was found to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the thermodynamic parameters (E a , ∆G ads and Q ads ) were determined. Two Schiff bases have shown remarkable inhibition on the corrosion of Al-Pure in 1.0 M HCl solution. The high inhibition efficiency was attributed to the blocking of active sites by adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the metal surface.
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.
