Abstract
Abstract Corrosion protection of mild steel in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution was studied using combination of benzene-1,2-diamine and benzaldehyde with FeCl 3 to in situ synthesis of new inhibitor at different temperatures employing electrochemical, weight loss, quantum chemical studies and optical microscopy. The electrochemical results represent the combination of these components in the solution shows equal efficiency to the compound which was synthesized in the laboratory which is 2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole. To indicate this compound was created on the metal surface, deposited layer was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Optical microscopy examinations demonstrate a decrease in corrosion attacks in presence of inhibitors.
