Colocid Dye - A Potential Corrosion Inhibitor for the Corrosion of Mild Steel in Acid Media
Corrosion inhibition nature of Colocid dye on the corrosion of mild steel in acid media was analyzed using weightloss and electrochemical methods. The results of electrochemical and weightloss studies indicated that Colocid acid could act as a potential inhibitor for mild steel in acid media. It has been observed that the inhibition efficiency increases with inhibitor concentration and the inhibition efficiency of Colocid acid dye for the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution is larger than that in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution.Potentiodynamic polarization studies showed that the dye molecule is of mixed type inhibitor. The adsorption of the compound on the mild steel surface obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The potential of zero charge was measured to find corrosion inhibition mechanism in these media.
