“…So, there are electrostatic interactions between negatively charged surface and positively charged atoms, which retard the anodic dissolution of iron (Aramaki et al, 1987). Secondly, according to the donor-acceptor interaction concept , -electrons of the benzene rings and the double bond of the oleate derivative (TN 15 L) in the inhibitor molecules can interact with vacant d-orbital of the metal surface (Hackerman et al, 1966).Thirdly, the polyethylene glycol groups of nonionic chains can adsorb on the metal surface through H-bonding, involving the displacement of water molecules from the metal surface. Lastly, the neutral parts of the molecules can then adsorb, onto metal surface when free surface areas are available.From Table 1, it is seen that at low concentration of the different inhibitors, i.e.…”
