Abstract
Abstract 2,5-Bis( n -methylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole with ( n = 2,3,4), denoted n -MPOX, have been investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization (PP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods, to evaluate the electrochemical behavior of brass in simulated cooling water system. The PP study revealed that oxadiazole inhibited both cathodic and anodic reactions, indicating a mixed type control of inhibition. It was shown that, 3-MPOX as well as 4-MPOX, were the best inhibitors and the inhibition efficiency followed the sequence: 3-MPOX ⩾ 4-MPOX ≫ 2-MPOX. The interference between non-oxidizing biocide CTAB and 3-MPOX and 4-MPOX against corrosion and biocorrosion has also been studied.
