摘要

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1M HCl by N,N-bis(n-Hydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine (3-HBP) has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results suggest that 3-HBP is an excellent inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in inhibitor concentration. Polarization curves reveal that this organic compound is a mixed type inhibitor. The effect of temperature was studied in the range from 25 degrees C to 65 degrees C. The experimentally obtained adsorption isotherms follow the Langmuir equation. Thermodynamic parameters of the corrosion were calculated. The morphology of mild steel surface was examined by AFM images.
