Water contamination by copper (Cu²⁺) and nickel (Ni²⁺) ions remains an important environmental and public health concern because these metals persist in aquatic systems, accumulate in living organisms and may cause toxic effects at elevated concentrations. Conventional removal me...

The inhibition of the corrosion of mild steel was studied via the weight loss method over a period of 30 days in an acidic medium formed by 1.0 M HCl and also through potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In the weight loss approach,...
