Zinc corrosion and corrosion inhibitors





Dear sir

I want to know the corrosion behavior of zinc in neutral , acid , alkaline medium . I am research scholar working in this field, with different additives like chloride, sulphate, and trying to find out an inhibitor in aqueous medium thank you sir.

Zinc is amphoteric and dissolves in both acid and alkali. You are trying to determine what corrosion inhibitor you should add to a zinc plated radiator or cooling tower as a boiler treatment or cooling tower treatment, for example, in order to delay corrosion?

Dear Muthukumar,

Have you browsed the science direct (Elsevier science web page). You can find a whole lot of information about corrosion of zinc in various medium and about the corrosion inhibitors for zinc in different medium.
