water a high percentage of chloride can be observed together with little
sulfur (Table 2). This may be attributed to the high chloride and sulphate in
sea water that lead to the corrosion of zinc. The presence of low “Zn” and
"Cl" contents and high "S" content on the surface suggests the bonding
between the inhibitor molecules and zinc substrate. Similar conclusions
were reached by Dermaj et al [ Dermaj et al, 2007] that showed the presence
of sulfur on the surface using x-ray electron dispersion analysis (EDAX)
when the sulfur containing inhibitor was used.
