Inhibition and co-adsorption behaviour of Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride on carbon steel in potable water system

The synergistic inhibitory action of Alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride and zinc ion on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in potable water distribution system has been analyzed using Tafel polarization curves, Nyquist impedance plots, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and weight loss method. The obtained results indicated that the studied inhibitor formulation were good inhibitor. A synergistic effect was also observed for the studied inhibitor formulation.
