A new potential of sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 by Nikolay Akatyev, Roza Kenzhegalieva, Meruyet Khapiyeva, Gauhar Uzakbay, Aruzhan Talapova, Ruben Vardanyan

“…It was found that the inhibition efficiency of AQ2SNa in 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 solution reached up to 94.44 % at the maximum concentration (0.5 g dm-3). Thermodynamic parameters show that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic, suggesting the conformance of strong interactions between inhibitor and metal surface according to the Langmuir adsorption model. …”
