(2016) Corrosion Inhibition of Amino Pentadecyl- phenols (APPs) Derived from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid on Mild Steel in Acidic Medium. Materials Sciences and Applications, 7, 396-402.https://www.suaire.sua.ac.tz/handle/123456789/4239Journal ArticleIn this study, corrosion inhibiting properties of amino pentadecylphenols (APPs) derived from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) on mild steel in aerated 0.10 M HCl at 303 K were studied using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Both methods indicated the potential of a mixture of amino pentadecyphenols to serve as a corro- sion inhibitor in mild steel in 0.10 M HCl. Corrosion inhibition efficiencies were observed to in- crease with increase in the inhibitor concentration, with maximum corrosion inhibition of about 98% at inhibitor concentration of 600 ppm. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel surface was found to obey Temkin adsorption isotherm, signifying physical adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on mild steel surface.enCorrosion InhibitorCashew Nut Shell LiquidAmino PentadecylphenolsMild SteelArticle
