Summary
Corrosion inhibition by quinine, ephedrine, brucine, cinchonine, codeine, and harmaline with respect to the dissolution of iron in 2M sulphuric acid was measured using electrochemical methods. Polarization curves indicated that these compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors,i.e. both the cathodic and anodic curves are affected. The observed effect follows theTemkin adsorption isotherm. The effect of the different structural features of these compounds on their inhibition efficiency has been studied. Results indicate that the rate of corrosion of iron increases with increasing temperature over the range 30–50 °C both in the absence and in the presence of inhibitors. Some thermodynamic functions were also computed and are discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Die von Chinin, Ephedrin, Brucin, Chinchonin, Codein und Harmalin ausgeübte Korrosionshemmung bei der Auflösung von Eisen in 2M Schwefelsäure wurde mittels elektrochemischer Methoden untersucht. Polarisationskurven zeigen, daß die erwähnten Verbindungen als Inhibitoren gemischten Typs fungieren, d. h. sowohl die kathodische als auch die anodische Kurve wurde beeinflußt. Der beobachtete Effekt folgt derTemkinschen Adsorptionsisotherme. Die Auswirkung von Strukturänderungen auf die Effizienz der Hemmung und einige thermodynamische Funktionen werden diskutiert. Die Korrosionstrate von Eisen steigt sowohl in Gegenwart als auch in Abwesenheit der Inhibitoren im Bereich von 30–50°C mit steigender Temperatur.
