Inhibitive Effect of Some Gemini Surfactants as Corrosion Inhibitors for Mild Steel in Acetic Acid Media

Abstract: A number of gemini surfactants from the series of 1,2-alkane-bis-(ethyl ammonium bromide) were synthesized and their inhibitive effects on mild steel corrosion in acetic acid were evaluated by weight loss and electrochemical polarization measurements. Their critical micelle concentrations at equilibrium in water at 30 • C were also determined. The results obtained revealed that all the studied gemini surfactants are effective in reducing corrosion of mild steel in acetic acid media. The adsorption of the inhib… Show more

“…This double layer was formed by the adsorption of the inhibitor molecules at the metal/solution interface and replaced water molecules gradually. These observations support the idea that the corrosion of API 5L-B is controlled by a charge transfer process [9,13].…”

“…At each concentration, the shape of the Nyquist plot remained the same with one depressed semicircle in all experiments, indicating that almost no change in the corrosion mechanism occurs due to the inhibitor addition. The shape of the Nyquist plot looks comparable to that obtained by John, Joy, Prajila and others [7][8][9].…”

“…The correlation between the inhibitor dose and the percent of metal surface covered by the inhibitor molecules (ϴ) is called the adsorption isotherm and provides information about the interaction between the inhibitor molecules and the metal surface [48]. The correlation between ϴ and the inhibitor concentration in the corrosive medium was represented by Langmuir adsorption isotherm, which is numerically represented in Eq.…”

“…The adsorbed surfactant molecules form a monolayer or bilayer hemimicelles or admicelles and prevent the acids to attack the surface, and thus reduce the corrosion [23][24][25][26] . In recent years, a new class of surfactants called gemini or dimeric surfactants have attracted great attention in corrosion inhibition [27][28][29] . The gemini surfactants contains two hydrophilic and two hydrophobic (sometimes three) groups per molecule separated by a rigid or flexible spacer rather than one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic group for conventional surfactants.…”
