Abstract

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl was investigated in the absence and presence of potassium iodide (KI) as a corrosion inhibitor. The effects of temperature and inhibitor concentration were studied using weight loss technique. The result obtained shown that KI act as an inhibitor for mild steel in HCl and decreases the corrosion rate. The inhibition performance was found to increases with increase in inhibitor concentration and temperature. Higher inhibition efficiency was 94% at higher level of inhibitor concentration and temperature. The adsorption of KI on mild steel surface was found to fellow Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of the free energy of adsorption were between − 20 and − 40 kJ/mol that is indication of mixed mode of physical and chemical adsorption. Mathematical models were also suggested to correlate the corrosion rate data with independent variables.
