Two of them were single-chained surfactants and the other two were composed of three C8 alkyl-chains. The chosen cationic surfactants were myristyltrimethylammonium chloride (MTACl), myristyltrimethylammonium bromide (MTABr), trioctylmethylammonium chloride (TOMACl and trioctylmethylammonium bromide (TOMABr). Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements showed that these surfactants hinder both anodic and cathodic processes, i.e. they act as mixed-type inhibitors. It was found that the adsorption of the nalkyl ammoniumion in 2 M H2SO4 solution is in accordance with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Plots of log fĆ/(1 fĆ) vs. log cinch yielded straight lines with a slope which drastically changed at the CMC values of used surfactants. The plot of log fĆ vs. log cinh confirms the four-region f reverse orientation model of adsorption, suggested by Somasundaran and Fuerstenau. In region IV, where the formation of a multilayer is in progress, it is supposed that two different multilayers formed on metal surface in the case of TOMABr and MTABr. The influence of added CH2 groups (chain length) on the inhibition efficiency is greater than the influence of different counterionsTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko kemijsko društvo
