Inhibition Effect of Potassium Iodide on Metal in Hydrochloric Acid Solution

The inhibition effect of potassium iodide in hydrochloric acid solution had been examined using weight loss and electrochemical measurements. Potassium iodide was found to be an excellent inhibitor for 20, 304, 316 steels. Adding 0 1 mol KI to hydrochloric acid solution, the inhibitor efficiency for 20, 304 and 316 steels are 81%, 64% and 58% respectively. Inhibitor effect on 20 steel is most remarkable. The inhibitor effect will increase when KI content increases. The presence of potassium iodide lowers both activation energy and rate of reaction. The result shows that potassium iodide acts as an anodic inhibitor particularly at higher concentrations and as a cathodic inhibitor at lower concentrations. Influence of temperature on the inhibition effect was also investigated, the inhibition effect increases as temperature increases. Polarization measurements indicated that potassium iodide makes the corrosion current decrease and corrosion potential shift towards the positive direction.
