Inhibitive Properties of Acanthospermum hispidum Dc Leaves Extracts on Corrosion of Mild Steel in 1M

This study was administered to investigate the rightness of Acanthospermum hispidum Dc leaves extracts for corrosion inhibition of temperate steel implicated in action 1M HCl solution utilizing gravimetric and potentiodynamic polarization methods. The study was transported at room and exalted temperatures of 313, 323, 333 and 343K. The trial period was varied from 24 to 168hrs at 24hrs interval, at range temperature and 3 hours at each exalted temperature. The experiments were acted with inhibitor concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 g/L. The results displayed that the corrosion rates raised with opportunity of immersion in the absence of prevention but decreased accompanying inhibitor aggregation at room and elevated hotness, while inhibition adeptness increased accompanying increase in inhibitor concentration at range temperature but declined with hotness rise. .Inhibition efficiency of 80 % for leaves extracts was completed at 0.5 g/L at room temperature but abated to 66.67 % at 0.5 g/L and temperature of 343K meaning desorption of inhibitor at larger temperature. Potentiodynamic polarization design was used to see the influence of the extracts on the photoelectric dissolution of temperate steel. The results showed that the extracts operated as mixed type prevention by moderating two together the anodic and cathodic backlashes and remarkably reduced corrosion rates from 10.889 to 0.365 mm/yr. The incorporation of the extracts on the metal surface obeyed Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. The thermodynamic limits evaluated present negative values of ∆G°ads in the range of -21.35 to – 22.82 kJ/mol. that is less than 40 kJ/mol indicating material absorption of the extracts on the mineral surface. The increasing principles of Ea (kJ/mol) from 24.21 to 47.88 kJ/mol also confirms that incorporation is by physisorption mechanism.
