Influence of benzimidazole derivatives on corrosion and electrochemical behavior of iron
The authors study the relation of the ..pi..-electron density of the molecules of benzimidazole and its derivatives and their inhibiting effect in hydrochloric acid. The compositions of the derivatives of synthesized benzimidazole were verified by ultimate analysis and IR spectroscopy. The ..pi..-electron densities were calculated on a computer. It was found that the introduction of a proton increases the charge re-distribution in the imidazole and benzene rings, with practically no change in the charge on the substituents. The efficiency of inhibition of corrosion was studied by the gravimetric and potentiodynamic methods. To elucidate the limiting stages of cathodic evolution of hydrogen and anodic solution of the metal, the authors recorded polarization curves for steel St3 without additive and with 20 mM benzimidazole, 1-(alpha-acetoxy)ethylbensimidazole and 1-acetylbenzimidazole. The polarization curves for various concentrations of benzimidazole and its derivatives in the pH range 0-2 and a calculation of the characteristics of the cathodic evolution of hydrogen suggest that the limiting stage of the process is delayed discharge.
