Abstract

The inhibition of aluminium corrosion in solutions of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide has been studied using weight‐loss and hydrogen evolution methods. Benzoic acid and its derivatives inhibit acidic and alkaline corrosion effectively. The efficiency of inhibitors increases in the order: benzamide < benzaldehyde < acetophenone < benzoic acid < benzophenone (100%). The inhibition efficiency of acid anhydrides follows the sequence: pyromellitic > naphthalic > trimellitic. Inhibition takes place through adsorption by a one‐step process with greater efficiency in alkaline than in acidic methanolic solutions.
