International audienceAdsorption of ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on copper surface in 0.2 and 30 g L-1 NaCl media was investigated by different electrochemical methods and surface analyses. The results from electrochemical measurements showed that PDTC adsorbs rapidly on copper surface and revealed a marked effect of mixed inhibition. Surface analyses confirm the adsorption of PDTC on copper and the formation of a Cu-PDTC complex through the S atoms of PDTC. At high concentrations PDTC prevents oxides and cuprous chloride formation. XPS results showed that PDTC bonds with cuprous species indicating the formation of Cu I-PDTC complex

In this work, as for the preliminary step to the protection of Al 2xxx alloys, the anticorrosion effect of environmentally friendly 1-pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on Cu was investigated by combining various electrochemical methods in addition to SEM-EDS analyses and gravimetric measurements. The Cu / PDTC system was used as a model to simulate the inhibition of Cu-rich particles contained in Al 2xxx alloys. The corrosion test solution was 0.5 mol L-1 NaCl in presence of 10-4 , 10-3 , or 10-2 mol L-1 PDTC. The immersion time of the copper electrode was extended generally up to 24 hours. By EQCM measurements, a marked protective effect of PDTC was observed for the highest PDTC used, and corroborated by voltammetry and EIS measurements. The cathodic reduction under constant current allowed determining the corrosion products remaining on the copper surface in terms of electrical charge. The protective effect of PDTC was explained by the formation of highly stable compounds on the copper surface, which decreases the rate of both anodic dissolution and oxygen reduction reaction.
