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

The synergistic inhibitory action of Alkylbenzyldim ethylammonium chloride and zinc ion on the corrosio n inhibition of carbon steel in potable water distribution syste m has been analyzed using Tafel polarization curves , Nyquist impedance plots, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and weight loss method. The obtained results indic ated that the studied inhibitor formulation were good inhibit or. A synergistic effect was also observed for the studied inhibitor formulation.
