Abstract
In this paper, the corrosion inhibition of cationic gemini surfactant, in the absence and presence of halide salts (NaCl, NaBr and NaI) on steel in HCl was investigated at 20 ± 1 °C. The effects of pH, immersion time and salt concentration on the corrosion inhibition of steel were studied using weight loss, open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Inhibition efficiency increases by increasing surfactant concentration. Synergistic effect between surfactant and salts was studied. The inhibition efficiency increases by increasing salt concentration. This composite inhibitor containing gemini surfactant and halide was efficient and low-cost for steel corrosion inhibition in HCl.
