Abstract

Anticorrosion activity of Cassia senna leaf extract (CSLE) as a corrosion inhibitor in 1M hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) has been investigated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Results show that the inhibition efficiency decreases with the rise of temperature from 308 to 313 K. Polarization measurements show that the CSLE acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. Nyquist plot shows that on increasing CSLE concentration, the charge transfer increases and the double-layer capacitance decreases. The adsorption of CSLE on mild steel obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies confirm the adsorption of CSLE on mild steel surfaces.
