Abstract: The influence of some non ionic surfactants on anodic oxidation of zinc powder electrodeposited from 10 mol/L KOH-0.5 mol/L ZnO solution is considered. The inhibition mechanism for zinc powder electrode was given by electrochemical impedance spectrum and polarization curve measurements.

Key words: zinc powder, alkaline electrolyte, electrochemical impedance, corrosion, inhibitor
