Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution using chitosan
The efficiency of chitosan (a naturally occurring polymer) as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated by gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–visible analysis. The polymer was f...

description |
The efficiency of chitosan (a naturally occurring polymer) as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 0.1 M HCl was investigated by gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–visible analysis. The polymer was found to inhibit corrosion even at a very low concentration. Inhibition efficiency increases with a rise in temperature up to 96 % at 60 °C and then drops to 93 % at 70 °C, while it slightly increases with an increase in chitosan concentration. Polarization curves indicate that chitosan functions as a mixed inhibitor, affecting both cathodic and anodic partial reactions. Impedance results indicate that chitosan was adsorbed on the metal/solution interface. Adsorption of chitosan at the mild steel surface is found to be in agreement with Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Chemical adsorption is the proposed mechanism for corrosion inhibition considering the trend of protection efficiency with temperature. Calculated kinetic and thermodynamic parameters corroborate the proposed mechanism. |
