ADSORPTION AND THERMODYNAMIC STUDIES OF N-(6-AMINOBENZO[d]THIAZOL-2-YL)BENZAMIDE ON MILD STEEL IN ACID MEDIUM

Abstract

Adsorption of N-(6-aminobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzamide on mild steel in acid medium was studied at different temperature (303K-333K) by physiochemical method. Thermodynamic parameters were obtained by using Gibbs Helmholtz, Van’t Hoff and basic Thermodynamic equations. Activation parameters were determined using Arrhenius and transition state equations. The surface morphology of adsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the mild steel surface was studied and confirmed by SEM and FT-IR in the presence and absence of the compound.
