ZAAFARANY, I.. Corrosion Inhibition of Aluminum in Aqueous Alkaline Solutions by Alginate and Pectate Water-Soluble Natural Polymer Anionic Polyelectrolytes. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.6, pp.419-426. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201206419.
The influence of water-soluble alginates (Alg) and pectates (Pect) anionic polyelectrolytes as natural polymers containing secondary alcoholic groups on the rate of dissolution of aluminum metal in alkaline medium has been investigated by gasometric and weight-loss techniques. The results showed that addition of alginates or pectates to the tested solutions leads to a remarkable decrease in the corrosion rate of Al in NaOH. The magnitude of inhibition efficiency was found to be larger in case of pectates. Factors affecting the corrosion process such as the concentration of the inhibitor and the corrosion medium, structure of the inhibitor and temperature have been examined. The kinetic parameters of corrosion have been evaluated and a suitable mechanism for the inhibition is discussed.
