Adsorption Of Polyaspartic Acid From Sulphur Acid Solution On Carbon Steel And Its Corrosion Inhibition, Rong-Jing Cui, Ning Gu, Chun-Mei Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

The role of Polyaspartic acid in the corrosion inhibition of 45~(#) carbon steel in sulphuric acid solution has been investigated by polarization curve andelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The influences of the concentration and the temperature of PASP on the corrosion inhibition efficiency were determined. The results indicated that the PASP as the corrosion inhibitor mainly inhibitated the anode; within the experiment temperature, the inhibitor efficiency decreased with the raising of the temperature and PASP had a good inhibiting performance at 10℃, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of PASP for carbon steel increased with the increase of the concentration of PASP when …

Anodic Polarization Behaviors Of Carbon Steel In Bicarbonate Solution, Jing-Mao Zhao, Yu Zuo Feb 2005

Anodic Polarization Behaviors Of Carbon Steel In Bicarbonate Solution, Jing-Mao Zhao, Yu Zuo

Journal of Electrochemistry

The anodic polarization curves of mild steel were measured in sodium bicarbonate solution of various concentrations, and the surface products were analyzed by XPS. Two anodic current peaks and two passive zones are observed in all the curves. When HCO_3~- ions concentration is below 0.1mol/L, the two peaks are so close that the first passive zone is difficult to be observed. When HCO_3~- ions concentration is above 0.1 mol/L, the first peak appears clear, while the second becomes smaller. The XPS results indicate that the out layer of film formed at a higher potential is mainly composed of Fe_2O_(3,) and …
