Jm. Bastidas et al., BUTYL SUBSTITUENTS IN N-BUTYLAMINE AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON MILD-STEEL CORROSION INHIBITION IN HYDROCHLORIC-ACID, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 27(3), 1997, pp. 345-349
This paper describes a study of the influence of the butyl group as su
bstituent in n-butylamine used as a mild steel corrosion inhibitor in
hydrochloric acid solution. An inhibition mechanism is proposed. n-But
ylamine, dibutylamine and tributylamine were studied in concentrations
from 10(-4) to 1 M and in the temperature range 278-308 K using elect
rochemical, gravimetric and surface roughness techniques. The three in
hibitors adsorbed on the mild steel according to a Frumkin isotherm.
