BOUSSKRI, A. et al. The Inhibition Effect of 1-Pentyl Pyridazinium Bromide towards Copper Corrosion in Phosphoric Acid Containing Chloride. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.1, pp.1-21. ISSN 0872-1904.  https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201601001.

The acid corrosion inhibition process of copper in 2 M H3PO4, containing 0.3 M of NaCl by an eco-friendly ionic liquid, 1-pentyl pyridazinium bromide (PPB), has been investigated using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior with the addition of PPB was studied in the temperature range 298- 328 K. The value of inhibition efficiency decreases slightly with the increase in temperature. Results show that PPB is a good inhibitor and inhibition efficiency reaches 91 % at 10^-3 M. Gravimetric essays indicate that PPB inhibits the corrosion of copper and the value of inhibition efficiency reaches 90 % at 10^-3 M of the inhibitor. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that the PPB affects both cathodic and anodic current and may be classified as a mixed type inhibitor in (2 M H3PO4 + 0.3 M NaCl). For the inhibitor, the inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in the concentration. The adsorption of this compound on copper surface obeys Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. To elaborate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for copper corrosion and inhibitor adsorption, respectively, were determined and discussed. Inhibition efficiency values obtained from weight loss, polarization curves and EIS are reasonably in good agreement. Theoretical calculations provide good support to experimental results.
