Synergistic effect of KI on the corrosion inhibition efficiency of polynuclear Schiff base, anthracene-9(10H)-one-3-aminopropanoic acid (A9O3AP), on mild steel (MS) in 0.5 M sulphuric acid solution has been investigated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization studies. The results show that inhibition efficiencies on MS increase with increase in concentration of the inhibitor and enhancement in inhibition efficiency was observed on addition of potassium iodide due to synergism. The adsorptions, of inhibitor and inhibitor + KI on the surfaces of the corroding metal obey Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms, respectively. Polarization studies revealed that A9O3AP acts as a mixed type inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters (; ) were calculated using the adsorption isotherms. A probable synergismtic mechanism is proposed.
