Ziprasidone as a corrosion inhibitor for zinc in different acid medium

B.S. Shylesha, T.V. Venkatesha

Abstract

Inhibition effect of Ziprasidone on the corrosion of zinc in 0.1 M HCl and 0.05 M H2SO4 was studied by using Weight loss, Tafel polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Both chemical and electrochemical results indicated that Ziprasidone is an efficient inhibitor. Weight loss method was used to assess the effect of temperature on corrosion of zinc in different medium. Electrochemical and chemical methods results were agreeing each other.
