Abstract

The protection of ferrous metals in acidic environments is important in many industries. Extending the pH range of organic inhibitors to low pH has been achieved with the addition of iodide ions, which facilitate adsorption. It was of interest to see whether similar outcomes could be achieved with inorganic inhibitors. To this end, this paper examines the influence of potassium iodide addition on the level of corrosion protection provided by Ce(NO3)3 in 3.5% NaCl electrolytes over a pH range of 2.5 to 8. Potentiodynamic polarization was used to assess percentage inhibitor efficiency (IE%), and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the corrosion product. It was found that KI alone provided only poor corrosion inhibition except at pH 2.5, where nearly 85IE% was achieved. Its addition to the cerium electrolytes was generally in excess of 90% and over 97% for the optimum concentration. The addition of KI seemed to change the mechanism of formation of corrosion products from predominantly Fe2O3 to a mixture of FeOOH, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3, which were more adherent. Corrosion protection was extended to pH 4, but under the conditions explored here, no additional protection was evident at pH 2.5.
