Abstract:

Inhibitory effects of two Schiff bases N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-ethylendiamine(SB-Ⅰ) and salcylidene-pyridine-2-yl-amine(SB-Ⅱ) on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1 mol/L HCl solution were studied via mass loss measurement method, polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that compounds SB-Ⅰ and SB-Ⅱ have fairly good inhibiting properties for carbon steel corrosion in hydrochloric acid with the best efficiencies of 85% and 92%, respectively, at 20 mmol/L additive concentration, and they belong to anodic inhibitors.

Key words: Schiff base, inhibitors, synthesis, hydrochloric acid, A3 carbon steel
