Abstract

Many organic inhibitors have been reported for the corrosion inhibition of various metals and their alloys. The synthetic heterocyclic compounds composed of strong electronegative atoms and heteroatoms such as (O) Oxygen, (N) Nitrogen and (S) Sulphur were observed to be very effective at preventing metal like iron and copper corrosion. A concept of studying benzimidazole derivatives compounds for corrosion inhibition of metals and their alloys has been formed in recent years as they contain heteroatoms, two aromatic ring structures, and pi bonds in the structural geometry. Based on this study, we have observed the potential of benzimidazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for various metals and alloys through acidic or basic environments. We have studied most of the inhibitors that follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
