Inhibitive effect of some Schiff bases on corrosion of aluminium in hydrochloric acid solutions

Abstract

Abstract Mass loss and thermometric methods have been used to study the inhibition of aluminium corrosion in HCl solution by four Schiff bases: 2-anisalidine-pyridine; 2-anisalidine-pyrimidine; 2-salicylidine-pyridine; and 2-salicylidine-pyrimidine. Values of inhibition efficiency obtained from the two methods are in good agreement and are dependent upon the concentrations of inhibitor and acid.
