Abstract
The inhibition of corrosion of zinc in H2SO4 by hexamethylenetetramine,
thiourea and propargyl alcohol has been studied by potentiodynamic
polarization method. The study shows that the inhibitor efficiency increases
with temperature for hexamethylenetetramine but it is a less effective
corrosion inhibitor. The amount of inhibitor of zinc dissolution is found
to be dependent on the concentration of the inhibitor. The corrosion current
increases with increase in thiourea and propargyl alcohol concentrations
indicating that they accelerate the zinc dissolution reaction in H2SO4 .
