Abstract
The use of 5-phenyl 2H-tetrazole as a copper corrosion inhibitor was tested in 1M aerated HCl in the 25–55°C temperature range. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration and with increasing temperature, which is due to the fact that the rate of corrosion of Cu is higher than the rate of adsorption. The inhibiting action of this compound is considerably enhanced by the addition of KBr due to the increase of the surface coverage and therefore indicates the joint adsorption of this compound and bromide ions. In this work, experimental techniques such as weight-loss have been used. Results obtained from this technique are in good agreement.
