Abstract
- The inhibition of (3ar,6ar)-3a,6a-di-p-tolyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1 h,3h)-dithione (TTHIIDT) for carbon steel was full characterized in a 1 M hydrochloride acid environment at various inhibitor concentrations and temperatures by the gravimetric, electrochemical, surface and quantum chemical analyses. The obtained results confirmed that the inhibition efficiency of TTHIIDT was over 95–97% and nearly stable in the rise of temperature and concentration; TTHIIDT was mixed type inhibitor and effectively influenced both anodic and cathodic corrosion reactions; a protective hydrophobic thin layer of this inhibitor on the carbon steel surface is more stable and non soluble in 1 M HCl medium; this inhibitor adsorbed endothermically on the carbon steel surface by the chemical and physical adsorption processes. The quantum chemical calculations supported the experimental results and showed that the inhibition efficiency is depends on the structure of inhibitor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
