Abstract

The force of adsorption of a non‐toxic inhibitor on iron surface was studied by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The value of standard free energy of adsorption, as calculated from Freundlich‐Langmuir (LF) adsorption, indicates that L(+)ascorbic acid physisorbes on the iron surface at corrosion potential. At cathodic potential, the quantity of energy is more important. So, there is a slightly stronger interaction between inhibitor and iron surface. This behaviour can be explained by that this inhibitor occupies better the cathodic sites. The inhibition efficiency of ascorbic acid was carried out by the fact electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data (EIS). The film adsorbed on the surface is less protective for a long time of immersion.
