Thermodynamics of Steel Corrosion in Acid Media Containing Organophosphorus Derivatives by E. Khamis, M.N. Moussa, E.S.H. El-Ashry, M. Ibrahim, A.K. Ibrahim

“…Additionally, the use of a 0.001 M concentration terminates the effect of temperature on the protection efficiency of vinyl triphenylphosphonium bromide as a result of the strong inhibitor film chemisorbed on the surface. The process of adsorption leads to an increase in the enthalpy of the corrosion process, i.e., it diminishes the number of hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the metal. …”
