This paper presents the inhibitory properties of L-histidine on the corrosion of carbon steel in weak acid media containing acetic acid/sodium acetate. The inhibition efficiencies obtained by weight loss measurements are in good agreement with values given by Tafel method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The adsorption of L-histidine obeys the Langmuir isotherm and the negative values of Gibbs energy indicate the nature of interactions between inhibitor molecules and metal surface. Further, the inhibition effect was studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
