Abstract

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of succinic acid (SA) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in sea water in the absence and presence of Zn2+ has been evaluated by weight loss method. The formulation consisting of 250 ppm SA and 50 ppm Zn2+ has 93% IE. It is found that the inhibition efficiency (IE) of SA increases by the addition of Zn2+ ion. A synergistic effect exists between SA and Zn2+. Polarization study reveals that SA – Zn2+ system controls the cathodic reaction predominantly. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+ – SA complex and Zn(OH). The surface morphology of the protective film on the metal surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study. A suitable mechanism for corrosion inhibition is proposed based on the results from the above studies.
