Abstract
The effect of chain length compatibility on corrosion inhibition effect of mixed inhibitor systems of cationic gemini surfactant (l,3-butan-bis(dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide) (designated as 12-4-12)), nonionic co-surfactants (C 7OH (1-heptanol), C 12OH (1-dodecanol) and C 15OH (1-pentadecanol)) on low carbon steel in acidic medium was studied using weight loss, open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Data represented that the corrosion rate decreased by increasing surfactant concentration. In addition, less chain length difference causes more compatibility and inhibition efficiency on behavior of surfactant and co-surfactant mixture. Increasing of inhibition efficiency for C 12OH + gemini surfactant was more than other mixtures.
