AbstractThe author presents, in a summarizing review, the results of experimental work aimed at finding new corrosion inhibitors for copper. Particular emphasis is placed on relations between inhibitor structure and inhibiting efficiency and on possible reaction between the inbibitor and the particular acid species resulting in an inactivation of the latter. The acids investigated include nitric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, acetic, lactic and malic acids; other media studied were sodium hydroxide, ammonium chloride and potassium perchlorate.
