Abstract
Addition of corrosion inhibitors is one of the widely used methods to
control corrosion. In the this work, an attempt has been made to explore the
possibility of using dicycloimine hydrochloride (DCI) as an inhibitor on mild
steel in 1 M HCl. Tlie inhibition efficiency uf DCI has been evaluated by
conventional weight loss method and electrochemical polarization studies.
Experimental results are fitted to various adsorption isotherms. Thermodynamic
parameters have also been studied from temperature studies. The results reveal
that DCI acts as an effective inhibitor (around 90% of IE) in HCl media.
