Abstract
Abstract The effect of benzenethiol and its methyl, amino, and carboxylic ring substituted derivatives, benzylthiol and thioglycollic acid on the electrochemical and corrosion behavior of zinc in CH3COOH, H2SO4, and HCl solutions was studied using the galvanostatic technique. In CH3COOH, compounds which function by an adsorption mechanism were found to have inhibitive effects on the corrosion of zinc, while those functioning by surface chelation were ineffective. In H2SO4 and HCl, with the exception of o-methylbenzenethiol (H2SO4 and HCl) and benzylthiol (H2SO4), all investigated compounds were found to accelerate zinc dissolution. Adsorption of the inhibitors followed the Langmuir isotherm, and the mechanism of both the hydrogen evolution reaction and zinc dissolution were found to be the same in the uninhibited and inhibited states.
