Abstract
The corrosion inhibition of (N 1 E)-N 1,N 2-bis(4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)-ethane-1,2-diamine, DMAB, against the destruction of C-steel in dilute HCl media (1.0 M) was examined. The techniques of gravimetry, gasometry, potentiodynamic, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are utilized. The rate of corrosion is found to decrease with more additions of the DMAB compound. The inhibition efficacy increases with concentrations to reach 97.7% at 5.0 mM and 298 K. The protection of metal destruction is controlled by the adsorption of the DMAB molecules on the metallic surface obeying Langmuir's pattern. The computed ΔG°ads values are characterized by negative sign, explaining the spontaneity of the adsorption process. These values vary between -38.70 and -35.13 kJ mol-1 depending on the temperature, which proves the physio- and chemisorption mechanisms. The reduction in K ads values with T can be attributed to the desorption of some DMAB molecules from the electrode surface. Theoretical quantum computation confirms the adsorption of the DMAB compound in concurrence with the data obtained by practical techniques.
