Mathematical, electrochemical, spectroscopic and microscopic monitoring of the adsorption effect of expired drugs on zinc corrosion in 3.5% NaCl solution by Arafat Toghan, Omar K. Alduaij, Nada Alqarni, Emad M. Masoud, Hanan Alhussain, Ayman M. Mostafa, Ahmed A. Farag, Ahmed Fawzy

“…In this context, the inhibitory efficacy of two environmentally friendly expired drugs, gatifloxacin (Gat) and levofloxacin (Lev), on zinc corrosion in 3.5 % NaCl solution was investigated using several techniques at different temperatures. Kinetic and thermodynamic evaluations confirmed that the adsorption strength of these compounds on the metal surface plays an effective role in their inhibitory capacity, and this certainly depends on their chemical structure. …”
