THERMODYNAMIC STUDY AND ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF CALCEIN AS CORROSION INHIBITOR FOR MILD STEEL IN HYDROCHLORIC ACID SOLUTION
The corrosion behaviour of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution containing different concentrations of Calcein at different temperatures was investigated using the impedance, potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization techniques. Long term tests were accomplished by hydrogen gas evolution and impedance measurements. The results showed that inhibition efficiency has increased with the inhibitor concentration and temperature increment. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. Activation energy values at concentrations of Calcein were lower than that of uninhibited system. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption deduced reveal a strong interaction of Calcein on the mild steel surface.
