Recently it has become general to use the inhibitor with a view to protecting corrosion of rebars in concrete. As the inhibitors used in construction works are almost made in America or Japan, we immediately need to begin home production of inhibitors. In this paper, to estimate the domestic anodic inhibitor of nitrite in comparison with foreign made inhibitor we made some fundamental experiments of setting time, slump and compressive strength. Besides, we analysed the effect of corrosion protection of inhibitor on the ground of corrosion current, resistance to chloride penetration and diffusion of chloride ingress in concrete.

The objective of this work was to develop efficient synergistic inhibitor combinations comprising sodium nitrite ($NaNO_2$) and an inhibitor-blend code named (SN-50), keeping in view of their application in industrial cooling water systems. The electrochemical characteristics of the carbon steel working electrode in simulated cooling water (SCW), without and with the addition of different combinations of the inhibitors, were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), open circuit potential (OCP). The electrode surface changes were followed by visual characterization methods. It was demonstrated in this study that all the combinations of the inhibitors exhibited synergistic benefit and higher inhibition efficiencies than did either of the individual inhibitors. The addition of SN-50 inhibitor to the SCW shifted the OCP to more anodic values and increased the polarization resistance ($R_p$) values of carbon steel at all applied concentrations. The higher the applied sodium nitrite concentration (in the protection concentration range), the higher the obtained $R_p$ values and the inhibition efficiency improved by increasing the inhibitor concentration.

The corrosive behavior of mild steel in 0.05 M to 10 M $H_2SO_4$ solutions containing different concentrations of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives (THPM) was investigated using weight loss method, gasometric technique, electrochemical studies which include AC - impedance and potentiodynamic polarization method, atomic absorption studies and synergistic effect. The results obtained reveal that THPM derivatives is an efficient mixed type inhibitor but slightly anodic and it is more effective in reducing corrosion of mild steel in $H_2SO_4$ media. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption reveal a strong interaction and spontaneous adsorption of THPM on the mild steel surface. The influence of temperature and inhibitor concentration on the corrosion of mild steel has also been investigated.

The effect of zinc oxide as an inhibitor for the corrosion of steel in concrete environment was studied by weight loss measurements, potential-time behaviour and anodic polarization technique. The salient features of the investigation were: in 100% OPC extracts, the passivity of steel was readily destroyed, however extracts containing various concentration of zinc oxide, the passivity of steel was maintained even in the presence of 30,000 ppm of chloride. Alkalinity of concrete was maintained by the addition of zinc oxide. The efficiency of the inhibitor was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. Addition of zinc oxide in the range 3 to 4% by weight of cement was sufficient to protect the rebars.

Lead-acid battery is being most widely used with secondary battery because of its low price, and long life cycles. But According to using for a long time, its voltage, capacity, and recovery ability is decreased gradually. Therefore there are many papers about improving the property of a lead-acid battery. One of them is to slow down sulfation due to formation of inner PbSO sub(4) by adding inhibitor to electrolyte, however it was not well known what is inhibitor's composition and its role acting on both cathodic and anodic electrode because of its know-how of every country and companies. The purpose of this paper is to study about improvement of property of lead-acid battery by adding one of the inhibitor to H sub(2) SO sub(4) electrolyte.

The purpose of this study was to achieve the reduction of the galvanic current between the dental amalgam alloy and gold alloy. In order to measure the galvanic current between these two metals a prep in the size of $4{\times}13mm$ which was filled with amalgam and another prep of $4{\times}2mm$ was filled with gold alloy was made in the acrylic resin. These two preps were then connected to a 2mm diameter copper wire. Using an ammeter to measure the galvanic current, six different kinds of amalgam and gold alloy were immersed in saline solution with approximately 10mm distance between the two alloys. Chemical agents that are thought to reduce the galvanic current such as hydrazine. silver nitrate, potassium chromate, and bonding agents such as Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2(Bisco) were applied to the alloy surface. Cathodic inhibitor such as hydrazine was applied to gold alloy where as anodic inhibitor such as silver nitrate and potassium chromate were applied to amalgam. Both bonding agents, Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2 (Bisco), were applied to amalgam. The following results were obtained when the currency on the coated alloy surface was compared to the uncoated surface. 1. The galvanic currency went down as the time elapsed and after 30 minutes no change was detected. 2. Initial currency was higher in low copper amalgam compared to high copper amalgam. Intitial currency was the highest in low copper lathe-cut amalgam. 3. Group of gold coated with hydrazine had the most reduction in galvanic currency. 4. Group of amalgam coated with silver nitrate or potassium chromate also showed significant reduction in galvanic currency. 5. The bonding agents also helped reduce galvanic currency. 6. Of all the agents used to reduce galvanic currency, silver nitrate showed the best result.

The influence of $H_2S$ on the corrosion of iron and the corrosion prevention mechanism of an inhibitor was investigated with a differential capacitance measurement and a weight loss measurement method. The results show that $H_2S$ accelerates both the anodic iron dissolution and the cathodic hydrogen evolution in most cases. However, $H_2S$ acts as an inhibitor of the corrosion of iron under certain special conditions. An EIS method is proposed to explain the ability of inhibitors.

This study demonstrates the direct anodic electrodeposition of polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethyl-enedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and polythiophene (PTh) on Cu electrodes by employing a corrosion inhibitor, succinonitrile (SN). SN was found to suppress anodic Cu dissolution beyond the oxidation potential of the polymer monomers. It is also revealed that the Cu surface passivated by SN is still adequately conductive to allow the redox reaction of 1,4-difluoro-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (FMB) and the oxidation of the polymer monomers. Through both cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic techniques, PPy, PEDOT, and PTh films were successfully synthesized on Cu electrodes in the presence of SN, and the redox behaviors of the films were evaluated.

The inhibition ability of N,N-bis(2,4-dihydroxyhydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine (DHBP) as a schiff base against the corrosion of API-5L-X65 steel in 1 M HCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance studies indicated that DHBP inhibited corrosion by blocking the active corrosion sites. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations. EIS data was analysed to equivalent circuit model and showed that the charge transfer resistance of steel increased with increasing inhibitor concentration whilst the double layer capacitance decreased. The adsorption of this compound obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Gibbs free energy of adsorption was calculated and indicated that adsorption occurred through physical and spontaneous process. The corrosion inhibition mechanism was studied by potential of zero charge. Polarization studies indicated that DHBP retards both the cathodic and anodic reactions through adsorption on steel surface. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the steel surface with and without inhibitor.

The objective of this study was to determine whether Cymbopogon citratus extract as a corrosion inhibitor from natural tropical resources could prevent corrosion of carbon steel in sulfuric acid solution. Inhibitory action of this extract was investigated using electrochemical methods such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Those methods revealed corrosion rate, efficiency of inhibition, and adsorptions isotherm values when the extract was added to the sulfuric acid solution at concentration up to 500 ppm with various immersion time at ambient temperature. Results revealed that higher concentration of the extract and longer immersion time decreased the corrosion rate of carbon steel whereas the inhibition efficiency of the extract was increased up to 97.25%. The value of charge transfer resistance was increased significantly by adding the extract at concentration up to 500 ppm with an immersion time of 60 minutes. The type of the extract was a mixed inhibitor. It could inhibit the corrosion process in both anodic and cathodic sides electrochemically. Results of this study suggest that the mechanism of adsorption on the surface of carbon steel is related to Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
