Abstract

ALJBOUR, Salah H.. Modeling of Corrosion Kinetics of Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid in the Presence and Absence of a Drug Inhibitor. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.6, pp.407-416. ISSN 0872-1904.  https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201606407.

Cefixime was investigated as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in an hydrochloric acid solution. The results revealed that the order of reaction is 0.427, with activation energy found to be 41.7 kJ/mol. Cefixime was effective in increasing the inhibition efficiency for all inhibition concentrations. The corrosion rate profile was found to be second- order kinetics with respect to corrosion activity.

Keywords : mild steel; hydrochloric acid; corrosion; cefixime; kinetics.
