Description
Summary:The corrosion inhibition characteristics of Sulfadoxine plus Pyrimethamine (S&P) was evaluated and compared with the inhibition performance of an industrial corrosion inhibitor (S-Ind) under anaerobic condition. Modified gravimetric and electrochemical techniques were used. The corrosion inhibition efficiencies of both S&P and S-Ind were comparable for all the techniques applied. S&P gave slightly higher inhibition efficiency, while S-Ind gave a more steady corrosion protection. The corrosion inhibition efficiencies increased with increased concentration of both substances. The polarization curves showed mixed inhibition behavior for both S&P and S-Ind. A mechanism of chemisorption was proposed for the adsorption of S&P and S-Ind on pipeline steel surface, while the negative Gibbs free energy of adsorption values indicates a spontaneous adsorption process. The adsorption characteristics of the inhibitors were fitted into Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
