Abstract
A new corrosion inhibitor namely N-phenethylhydrazinecarbothioamide (N-PHC) was synthesized through the reaction of hydrazine hydrate and (2-isothiocyanatoethyl)benzene. N-PHC has been characterized by spectroscopically techniques and CHN micro-elemental analysis. The inhibitive activity of N-PHC on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution was examined by the weight loss techniques. The findings exhibited that the inhibition efficiency increased with an increase in the concentration of N-PHC and decreased with an increase in temperature. The inhibition efficiency reached 94.7% with 250 ppm at 303 K. The inhibitive mechanism involved chemical adsorption and the adsorption of the N-PHC molecules through active sites on the surface of mild steel to control or retard corrosion. The adsorption isotherm obeyed the Langmuir isotherm.
