Abstract

Inhibitive performance of 3-methylquinoxaline-2 (1H) -thione denoted (MQ = S) on mild steel corrosion in 1.0 M H3PO4 was investigated using electrochemical measurements. It is revealed that this product acts as an excellent corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1.0 M H3PO4 where its inhibition reaches 93% at 5 × 10−4 M and increases with immersion time. Potentiodynamic polarization curves indicated that this compound acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. In addition, the MQ = S has its inhibition at high temperature. It was found that the adsorption of this compound obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
