Abstract
The inhibition effect of the new pyridazine derivative, namely 1,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-5H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole (PPI) against mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl solutions was evaluated using weigh loss and electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarisation curves and impedance spectroscopy). The experimental results suggest that PPI is a good corrosion inhibitor and the inhibition efficiency increased with the increase of PPI concentration, while the adsorption followed the Langmuir isotherm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretical calculation of electronic density were carried out to establish the mechanism of corrosion inhibition of mild steel with PPI in 1 M HCl medium. The inhibition action of this compound was, assumed to occur via adsorption on the steel surface through the active centres contained of the molecule. The corrosion inhibition is due to the formation of a chemisorbed film on the steel surface.
