The inhibitive action of plant leaf extracts, Crataegus oxyacantha (Hawthorn) and Prunus Avium (Sweet Cherry) on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M HCl solution was investigated using open circuit potential-time measurements (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Functional groups of these plants’ leaf extracts and their absorption bands were identified by […]
The adsorption mechanism and inhibitive action of the Eucalyptus plant leaf extract (Eu) on the corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M H3PO4 solutions were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. Potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that the Eucalyptus leaf extract acts as a mixed type inhibitor in both […]
