The Electrochemistry Behaviour of Carbon Steel in 55% LiBr Solution with A-Mo Inhibitor

Abstract:

The inhibition effects of A-Mo inhibitor on corrosion of carbon steel in 55% LiBr solution were investigated using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization curves EIS experiments, Mott-Schottky analysis, SEM, EDAX and XRD methods. The results revealed that A-Mo inhibitor was capable of inhibiting the corrosion of carbon steel in 55%LiBr solution, exhibiting high inhibition efficiencies around 99.7%. A-Mo inhibitor promoted the formation of a protective passive film composed of Fe, Mo and O elements. The passive film improved the electrochemistry performance and enhanced corrosion resistance of carbon steel.
