Abstract
The corrosion inhibition of aluminium in H 2SO 4 in the presence of 2-acetylphenothiazine (2APTZ) at temperature range of 30–60 °C was studied using the weight loss and thermometric techniques. The effect of addition of halides (KCl, KBr, KI) is also reported. The inhibition efficiency ( I, %) increased with increase in concentration of 2APTZ. The addition of the halides increased the inhibition efficiency to a considerable extent. The temperature increased the corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency in the range 30–60 °C in the absence and presence of the inhibitor and halides. Phenomenon of chemical adsorption is proposed. Flory–Huggins adsorption isotherm equation was obeyed at all the concentrations studied. The decrease in inhibition efficiency (and surface coverage values) was found to be in the order I −>Br −>Cl − which clearly indicates that the radii and the electronegativity of halides play a significant role in the adsorption process. All the data acquired reveal that 2APTZ acts as an inhibitor in the acid environment from the two techniques used. The synergistic effect of 2APTZ and halide ions is discussed.
