INHIBITION OF THE CORROSION OF COPPER IN NITRIC ACID: Thiourea and related compounds

Abstract

Thiourea, allyl thiourea and phenyl thiourea have been investigated as corrosion inhibitors for copper in nitric acid. All the substances are predominantly cathodic inhibitors. The present article reports the use of thiourea, allyl thiourea and phenyl thiourea as inhibitors of the corrosion of copper in nitric acid.
