The corrosion inhibition mechanism of PMA/SbBr3 is suggested as follows： PMA has the effect of inhibiting hydrogen evolution and a strong oxidizing property; Sb^3＋ also exhibits oxidizing properties, and can exist stably with PMA in LiBr solutions; the passive film comprising Fe2O3 and antimony formed on carbon steel surface may prevent Brfrom diffusing into the metal surface due to the synergistic effect of PMA and Sb^3＋ ; As a result, the anticorrosion performance of carbon steel may be improved by PMA/SbBr3 inhibitor in 55% LiBr solution.展开更多
