Abstract
Three triazine-based surfactants with different hydrophobic chain lengths were synthesized and characterized, namely, 2-(n-Hexylamino)-4,6-bis (3-N, N-dimethylaminopropyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine, 2-(n-Octylamino)-4,6-bis (3-N, N-dimethylaminopropyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine and 2-(n-n-Dodecylamino)-4,6-bis (3-N, N-dimethylaminopropyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine, labelled C6, C8 and C12 respectively. The chemical structure was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR. The surface activity was evaluated by surface tension. C12 had a lower critical micelle concentration (CMC) value (0.5 mM) than C6 and C8, which suggested that a lower concentration was required to reach interfacial adsorption saturation, representing better inhibition performance. The corrosion inhibition of surfactants for 45 # carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl was studied by static weight loss measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization. Inhibition results showed that C12 was better than C6 and C8 with the maximum inhibition efficiency of 96% at 0.1 mM. The surface analysis had given a clear view of the mechanism of surfactants in inhibiting the corrosion process. Moreover, the Freundlich adsorption isotherm was the best description for the adsorption process of surfactants on 45 # carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl.
