Abstract

Ethoxylated oligoglucose surfactants, namely OGED, OGDT and OGTT, based on cellulose extracted from rice husk were synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed using spectroscopic FTIR. The surface active properties such as the critical micelle concentration, the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (ΠCMC), surface excess concentration \((\acute{\Gamma}_{\rm max})\) and surface area per molecule (A min) have been calculated. The efficiency of surfactants as corrosion inhibitors for X-65 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution was investigated by various electrochemical techniques. The obtained results confirmed that the percentage inhibition efficiency (η %) was increased by increasing the inhibitor concentration until the critical micelle concentration reached.
