EXPERIMENTAL AND QUANTUM CHEMICAL STUDIES ON CORROSION INHIBITION OF PYRIDINE ON ALUMINUM IN ALKALINE MEDIA

Corrosion is a serious environmental problem in the oil, fertilizer, metallurgical and otherindustries. Inhibitors are one of the practical means of preventing corrosion. Inhibitors arecompounds that reduce the rate of corrosion by absorbed on the metal surfaces. Theinteractions of inhibitor molecules with the metal surfaces are leaded to the formation ofcorrosion protection film [1].
