We study the corrosion of carbon steel in chloride-containing corrosive media inhibited by xanthan gum and its composition with a biogenic surfactant. It is shown that the xanthan biopolymer is an efficient corrosion inhibitor in steel due to the adsorption and formation of complexes with iron ions. The addition of trehalose lipid surfactants to corrosive media synergistically enhances the action of xanthan gum. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveal the formation of a protective barrier layer on steel in the medium under the influence of inhibiting composition. The elevation of corrosion resistance of the metal in inhibited media is confirmed by the data of optical microscopy.
