The effect of Euphorbia hirta and Dialum guineense leave extracts on the corrosion of aluminium in 0.25M NaOH was investigated using gravimetric technique. It was shown that the presence of Euphorbia hirta and Dialum guineense leave extracts inhibited the corrosion of aluminium in the test solutions and that the inhibition efficiency depended on the concentration of the plant extract as well as on the time of exposure of the aluminium samples in 0.25M NaOH solutions containing the extracts. Dialum guineense extract shows the best inhibition capability for aluminium corrosion in sodium hydroxide, probably, this is due to the planer orientation of the adsorbed extract molecules. Inhibition efficiency of the inhibitors tested increases with decreasing sodium hydroxide concentrations. The experimental data complied to both Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms and the value and sign of the apparent activation energy of adsorption obtained suggests that inhibitor molecules have mixed inhibition mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
