ALAOUI, L. Malki et al. Phosphate of Aluminum as Corrosion Inhibitor for Steel in H3PO4. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.4, pp.339-347. ISSN 0872-1904.
The influence of phosphate of aluminum (PA) on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in phosphoric acid solution was studied using the weight-loss method. The electrochemical performance of the inhibitors was also investigated through potentiodynamic polarisation and EIS measurements. The inhibition efficiency of inhibitor increases with concentration to attain 84 % at 10-2M of PA in 0.33 M H3PO4. Polarization studies show that PA is a mixed-type inhibitor and acts both on the cathodic and anodic reactions without changing the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction. The inhibition efficiency of PA is temperature-dependent in the range 298 - 363 K, the associated activation energy has been determined. PA adsorbs on the steel surface according to a Langmuir isotherm adsorption model.
