AI-generated Abstract

The corrosion of mild steel in acidic environments, particularly in concentrated mineral acids, poses significant challenges for industrial applications. This study investigates the corrosion inhibition efficiency of formazan of benzaldehyde as a potential inhibitor in 2N HCl and 2N H2SO4 solutions. By employing weight loss measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the results indicate a marked increase in corrosion inhibition efficiency with higher concentrations of formazan of benzaldehyde, particularly in the presence of sulfuric acid. The findings suggest that formazan of benzaldehyde could serve as an effective, non-toxic corrosion inhibitor for mild steel.
