Popis: Ortho-, meta- and para-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) in hydrochloric acid solution are used as mild steel corrosion inhibitors. Modeled as gas-solid and acidic aqueous-solid interfaces, we investigate their performance and adsorption mechanisms using first principles methodologies and Monte Carlo simulations. Computations show that both neutral and protonated ABAs exhibit spontaneous adsorption on Fe(1 1 0) surface, which is dominated by weak interactions. We observed an inhibition efficiency isomeric effect, as established experimentally. Therefore, our work should motivate the extensive use of computational modelling and chemical reactivity indices for in-depth studies of corrosion inhibition of metals by organic compounds as those employed in industries.
