Abstract

The effect of benzotriazole on the reaction of copper single crystal in aqueous solution of NaOH has been studied by kinetic methods. The mechanism of the inhibiting effect is interpreted in terms of adsorption of benzotriazole anions on the pure metal as well as on its oxides, Cu2O and CuO. The efficiency of inhibition depends on the crystallographic orientation, increasing in the order I100 < I110 < I111.
