Abstrakt: Synergistic effect of KI on the corrosion inhibition efficiency of 3-acetylpyridine phenylhydrazone (3APPH) on carbon steel (CS) in 0.5M sulphuric acid solution has been investigated using gravimetric studies, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization studies. Gravimetric corrosion studies revealed that 3APPH showed moderate corrosion inhibition efficiency up to 8 h and beyond this period it showed corrosion accelerating behavior. This antagonistic effect of 3APPH is due to the hydrolysis of the molecule in acidic medium. A very high percentage of inhibition efficiency at 24 h was obtained on the addition of KI due to the synergistic effect of iodide ions. The adsorption of 3APPH and 3APPH +KI on the surfaces of the corroding metal obey Langmuir isotherm as obtained by impedance measurements. Polarization studies revealed that 3APPH act as a mixed type inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters (Kads, ΔG0ads) were derived from the adsorption isotherms. Surface morphology of the corroding metal was investigated by SEM analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
