The Effect of Imidazole with Mono Valent Cation for Corrosion and Biocidal Studies of Mild Steel in Acid Medium

In this study, the imidazole was studied as a corrosion inhibitor. The inhibitory impact of Imidazole (IZ) in combination with Ag+ (monovalent) on Mild steel in 0.1 N HCl has been studied. The weight loss method's outcomes, polarization study, and AC impedance measurements are used to determine the mechanistic characteristics of corrosion inhibitors. The weight loss investigation found that a formulation containing 300 ppm IZ and 30 ppm Ag+ has an Inhibition efficiency (IE) of 89 percent in controlling Mild steel corrosion in 0.1 N HCl. Between IZ and Ag+, there is a synergistic effect.
