“…Acids such as nitric, phosphoric, sulfamic, oxalic, tartaric, citric, acetic and formic are used for special applications. The inhibition of corrosion of iron and steel in acidic media by different types of organic compounds has been studied extensively (Scott and Lockhart, 1974; Bried and Winn, 1951; Costain and Terry, 1972; Katoaka and Takada, 1973, 1975; Drimus and Ludoson, 1969; Willars et al , 1976; Podobaev et al , 1969; Nanova et al , 1975; Podobaev and Vasilev, 1972; Dzhurakulov et al , 1972; Schmitt and Olbertz, 1979; Schmitt and Olbertz, 1981; Monduli et al , 1982; Isklakov and Kurbanov, 1983; Gaeva et al , 1983; Armaki, 1972; Cheinig Fil, 1987; Zashchita Met , 1987; Moussa et al , 1991). The available results show that most inhibitors act by adsorption onto the metal surface.…”
