Mossbauer Spectroscopic Study of Chemical Effect of Ascorbic Acid on Corrosion Product of Mild Steel

Kashyap Dhoot

Abstract: A systematic study of the influence of ascorbic acid on the corrosion product of mild steel has been carried out using Mssbauer spectroscopy (MS). It is observed that practically ascorbic acid has very little chemical impact on the corrosion product of mild steel, like, FeOOH and ferrihydrite. While in corroding media it drastically affects the chemical process of corrosion.
