CORROSION KINETIC-STUDIES OF MILD-STEEL IN METHANOL-HYDROCHLORIC ACID-SOLUTION
The dissolution kinetics of mild steel and hydrogen evolution reactions in deaerated methanol-hydrochloric acid solutions at different concentrations of chloride and hydrogen ions have been investigated. The dissolution rate is found to increase with an increase in chloride content at constant acid concentration and the reaction order with respect to Cl- is 1.12. The hydrogen evolution reaction rate slightly decreases as the concentration of Cl- increases. The kinetic parameters derived from the electrochemical studies have been found to be very close to the values obtained by weight loss measurements. The reaction order for hydrogen evolution reactions is found to be very low (0.33).
