The results indicate that these compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors retarding the anodic and cathodic corrosion reactions. Combination of 1-(2-pyrrolecarbonyl)benzotriazole along with Zn<sup>2+</sup> and 2-phosphonoacetic acid shows better corrosion inhibition efficiency than other inhibitor combinations and the individual inhibitors.</p> ER -
