Abstract

Point of present exploration was to figure out the anti corrosion activity of a drug namely Ethambutol on mildsteel in acidic medium as an eco friendly corrosion inhibitor by using weight loss technique, quantum chemical studies and infrared spectral analysis. The results demonstrated that the drug showed highest inhibition efficiency 91.30% at 1000 ppm concentration at 30°C. The increase in temperature lead to decrease in inhibition efficiency and increase in time of immersion lead to increase in inhibition efficiency.
