Abstract
The inhibitive effect of some substituted phenyl n‐phenylcarbamates on corrosion of iron in 2N HCI have been studied using gaivanostatic polarization measurement. Studies carried out with different concentrations of the inhibitor indicated that the compounds act as a mixed inhibitor. The results indicate that the additives reduce the corrosion rate by way of adsorption through the oxygen atom of phenoxy group and nitrogen atom of NH group. The inhibitory character of the compounds depends upon the concentration of the inhibitor, as well as its chemical composition. The results of electrocapillary measurements are consistent with the electrochemical measurements. Thermodynamic parameters for absorption of inhibitors have been calculated and discussed.
