Abstract

Distyryl derivatives were investigated as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel (CS) in sulfuric acid solutions by open-circuit potential (E oc), mass reduction (MR), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The results showed the variation in inhibition protection (IP) of the inhibitors with varying doses and temperatures. The maximum efficiency was found to be 95.9% at 24 × 10−5 M and 55 °C for the immersion period of 3 h. Langmuir was tested to describe the adsorption behavior of these derivatives on CS surface. PP study clearly revealed that these compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors. Quantum calculations showed good agreements with the results of various electrochemical techniques. Distyryl derivatives showed a good biological activity on bacteria present in ammonia cooling towers.
