ABD-EL-NABEY, B. A.; GOHER, Y. M.; FETOUH, H. A. e KARAM, M. S.. Anticorrosive Properties of Chitosan for the Acid Corrosion of Aluminium. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.4, pp.231-239. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201504231.
Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used to measure the corrosion rate of aluminium in 0.1 M HCl in the absence and presence of different concentrations of chitosan. Inhibition efficiency up to 90% in the presence of 0.028 g/L chitosan was achieved. Increasing the concentration of chitosan shifted the breakdown potential, Eb, of aluminium to more noble values and inhbitied the pitting corrosion of aluminium. Measurements of the break potential, Eb, and the electrical double layer capacity (Qdl) indicated that chitosan is adsorbed at the aluminium/solution interface.
