The Effects of Detergent Pollution on the Corrosion of Iron and Aluminium

Authors: SİBEL ZOR, B. YAZICI, M. ERBİL

Abstract: The current-potential values were measured with iron or aluminium electrodes in solutions of 3.5% NaCl containing 30, 150, 300 ppm linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and detergents (LAS) at pH8. Polarization resistances (Rp) were determined using the values of current and potentials. The corrosion rates of iron and aluminium were determined in 2 and 4 hour intervals using the Mansfeld-Oldham equation based on the Stern-Geary and Butler-Volmer equations.
